Yes, it follows the book for the most part, like the previous movies of this saga. However, even knowing the ending, it was intense and moved at a good pace. Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson continued to develop their characters and did a great job of conveying the wide range of emotions that they experience with their wedding through the birth of their vampire-human hybrid child. My best friend and I have followed this series from the beginning and we left the theater with big grins and no regrets on spending the money for these tickets. If you love the books, you will love this movie. Well-done!
