Major differences. Just to highlight 2 of them:
In the movie, Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) lives. In the book, he dies.
In the book, Hooper & Ellen Brody have an affair. No such thing in the movie.

The biggest difference is that you read the book but watch the film.

the film was a blockbuster and the book only became a bestseller because people that had something to do with the film bought tons of books to make it seem like a big piece of litterature (don't know about that because I haven't read it).
