My Opinion : Although I enjoyed the movie immensely...probably cause I am a big fan of Arnie's anyway....I was a little put off because it wasn't exactly like the book.  The movie was more glamorous I guess and not so intricate as the book.  All in all I would recommend seeing the movie though...it's typical Arnie...all action!!!!
