Just ok. Not as good as the movie.

In the movie there were a lot of different factions trying to get a hold of the baby to use for their own gains. I thought this worked better to create the sense of urgency and the need for secrecy. In the book they are mostly just worried about the Warden himself, and wanting to give birth in peace. That didn't feel to me as worthy of all the lives that were risked (and lost) along the way.
