They added more suspense and intensity than would have been present had they just translated the book exactly to the screen. Not saying the film was better necessarily, just that it was a very very good adaptation.

Yeah, i think the movie is better as well, even though i wish the Coens would've stuck more to the book during the hotel scene where Bell and Chigurh return to the scene of Moss's murder.
