Faithful adaptation of the book

As a fan of the book, I have never seen a more faithful screen adaptation. Loved the book, so I loved the movie.
Casting was excellent. Some surprises were even better than my expectations.
Masterful subtleties in the acting of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are an inside scoop for readers of the book. Non-readers might miss Edward's changing facial expressions in the cafeteria as he hears thoughts.
It's hard to make a movie based on a book because every reader has their own interpretation. In a movie, you are getting one interpretation--so if often fails. Here, the moviemakers met the challenge head on and succeeded. I can't wait for New Moon!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
