As one of the many people that read all the books before seeing the movie, I thought the movie was actually better than the book. New Moon was my least favorite book because of the lack of action until the climax. The movie added the needed action, not a boring part. For anyone that has read the books you will not be disappointed, none of the important parts of the book or left out. From a non reader point of view (my sister), she loved the movie as well. She was sad when Bella was left and anxious as Bella tried to save Edward. All in all, New Moon was 100 times better than the first movie.
