I just finished this one tonight. It's much more of a direct adaptation of the episode than Shelter was for "Sacrifice."
Some things I noted
The story takes place in Bardo, Wyoming, which is not real.
The book says that the Phillips residence is Victorian, but in the show it clearly is not.
In the book, Claire can change her appearance when she's in her astral form, which is part of the reason why it's so appealing to her.
There are a couple of sections from Claire's perspective while she's in her astral form.
Apparently astral forms don't have reflections in mirrors, which makes the whole fun house idea more interesting.

I sense and in-joke, there. Which I recognize only because of another tv show. BardoThat is interesting; especially since she was already depicted as so attractive to members of the opposite sex (at least two of them!) in the episode. And because freedom and fun from her parents' high-pressure schedule seemed to be her thing in the ep.

I can't remember if this happened in the show, but in the book Jack sees her picture in the year book and says that it can't be the same girl because she looks like a loser (pretty rude). Fi says Claire has lank hair when she sees her in her physical form and she doesn't wear makeup. She does discuss the need for freedom and fun, too.
