In my opinion, the book is actually a tough read. I find something about Ira Levin's writing style very off-putting, which is sad to me, because I genuinely enjoy his ideas and the nuances he picks up on the power differences between the genders. But I still find his books a tough read.
That said, the dialogue from the movie is word-for-word in the book. Roman Polanski didn't know directors were allowed to change things when adapting books for movies.

The movie is very true to the book. The copy of Rosemary's Baby that I read had a foreword regarding the movie and Levin's stance on his work. I was disappointed with Levin's attitude, honestly, but Polanski was really into the story. The movie is as close to the book as he could possibly get.

I feel like they're pretty much the same, strangely. Because you saw the movie first, I'd expect you to be a little bored with the book.
