The novelization was, in fact, made from an earlier draft of the script than the one that was released. (See: the end scene when you get there.) Something to do with production schedules so the book will come out around the same time as the movie.
The writing is terrible, and there are some glaring continuity errors. My favorite is where Raleigh says he's never done a mission with a Mark V jaeger, then further down the page, he talks about being on a mission with Striker Eureka. It's on page 49.
(PS: If you're interested in traveling to Atlanta, I'm running a Pacific Rim con in May...)
