Yes, exactly! The movie spent a bit too long on a few things which weren't really in my mind necessary (the whole scene with Frodo could have been completely cut, and while I loved the fact that they explained Erebor and the Arkenstone, I thought they could have done that in about half the number of minutes that they actually took). On the other hand, with the book -- they build up to a war for like three chapters and then two paragraphs later it's over with a fortuitous rock to the head. When Frodo wakes up two of his traveling companions are dead.

On the other hand, I loved how each dwarf was given a personality and sense of uniqueness in the movie. I can care and sympathize with them and get to know them. They aren't just a bunch of rhyming names. And yet in the book I didn't mind that they were completely interchangeable -- because it was purely Bilbo's story, he's the only one I really cared about, and the rest were just props helping him along his journey.
