Having re-read all the books before the movie opening, I would say that this book is a much closer adaptation to the book, thought not quite there. To a Twilight fan it really doesn't matter if the movie is amazing standing on its own; it just has to be twilight. I enjoyed the movie but found it had several flaws, primarily the lack of dialogue between Edward, Bella and Jacob helping to better explain the "arrangement" and the fight for Bella's heart. We get to see more lines from both Rosalie and Jasper but I think in terms of Rosalie the script did not do justice to her reasoning for not choosing to become a vampire. Part of Rosalie's monologue helps transition into the next story and I think the screenwriter/director didn't understand that. Overall it is a good addition to the series just needs a bit more to hit the mark dead on. A twilight fan will enjoy none the less.
