I read the book and saw the movie in Seoul, and I must say, it was quite disappointing. So many things were left out (and yes, I know this often happens in movies), but I feel the viewer won't get even half of the effect of the book by watching the movie.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, I think, wasn't the best person for the role of Veronika. Her performance was rather bland and we don't really feel sorry for her character, but part of this is because of the bad script and numerous omissions from the book.
To the movie's credit, the scenes with her and Edward are pretty good and it gets moving toward the end. Yet I think the movie could've been done so much better.
The movie is worth watching but left me wanting.
