I love the books! The 1st movie I didn't like and was upset at the director for not following the book, movie #2 was much better and followed the book very closely. movie #3 I feel it is in the same line as #2. It did follow the book very closely and there was much more action in it that will appeal to the guys. I felt that between the acting Rob and Kristin was very poor while Taylor shined and held the movie. I loved the flash backs it brought you closer to the other Cullen Family members and closer to understanding the tribe. Understandably there is much more dialog in the books than in the move, but it was a good movie and worth going to see.
