considering the director only had a 1.5 to 2 hour time frame for New Moon, I think he did a pretty good job touching the major points of the book : introducing the Wolf Pack, focusing on Jacobs new abilities and AWESOME body, & leaving a cliff hanger for the 3rd movie. The movie stayed TRUE to the book and thats what matters!! This was a total chick flick unlike the first book however Eclipse is jam packed with action!!
