smogey the bear Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I read the book once (for my high school book report) and only remember it was much more gory than the movie. Also, more dinosaurs. In addition, I love the movie (my fav, all time), but it was directed by Spielberg. So, I expected it to be timid/kid-friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Lemon Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 Yeah the book explains, in explicit graphic detail, a lot more about the dinosaur attacks. It also has a lot more scenes that I thought were awesome but were cut almost entirely from the movie. Like in the movie they never mention the Atrium, which in the book is where they have pterodactyls. And yeah you're definitely right about there being way more dinosaurs. 2 Tyrannosaurs as compared to the movies 1, and plus 8 Velociraptors and like 50 something hatchling and juvenilles in the book. Not my favorite movie all time, but nonetheless a good movie. Surprisingly, unlike most movies, the second was almost just as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siphaed Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 The book was way better. In the movie, it focused way too much on Sam Neil's character compared to the overall actions of the park. It also severely neglected several key scenes that enhanced the story. Also, since the book takes longer to read than watching the movie, it adds a deeper feel for the suspenseful scenes.

Lee Lemon Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 The book also had a sub-plot about Raptors on a boat to the mainland. They completely took that out of the movie. Plus the old guy, John Hammond, dies in the book. Which makes it just that much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enjuaguese Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I just remember watching it as a kid, but I was affraid of it, because people were getting killed. But I do like the scene when the guy gets picked up in the port-a-potty. lolpwned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
