Talk:New Moon - book to movie differences/@comment-1534883-20100805012246

I remember watching the New Moon movie and thinking that it kind of sucked. It didn't have that great of a plot, it was basically just introducing Jacob and the wolf pack before the story actually moves forward with Eclipse. I guess it seems kind of necessary, but it wasn't all that fun to watch. Then I read the New Moon novel, and I enjoy it a LOT better than the movie. And I don't know why? I mean it's basically the same story, right? So how come the novel seemed so much better? What does the novel have the the movie doesn't?
