As an avid reader, I of course like the books better. But I have to admit and give credit where credit is due. This is by far, my favorite movie of the three. I did think the first half of the movie was a little "choppy" moving quickly from one scene to another, but the second half moved fluidly and had more depth. I still don't like Edward's make up and think Kristen Stewart needs a few acting classes. She has improved her looks since Twilight-she doesn't look quite as homely. Taylor is a true "hotty"
