I disagree with the reviews that say they followed the book on what they chose to keep in. They actually changed so many things that simply didn’t need to be changed. Why did they have to change Jacob's explanation of the Quileute legends? What's with the dinner the Cullen's prepared for Bella? Why change who said "her blood tastes clean" when Edward was saving Bella in the ballet studio? Why change the meadow scene? Alice all but disappeared into the background. They could have stayed truer to the book for what they kept in and all I can hope is that they do a better job going forward. It was, however, not the worst book adaptation I have ever seen and I think Bella and Edward were cast perfectly. Some of the others, not so much.
