I remember reading the book to Jurassic Park way before the film was even on the horizon
Fucking good book - I read it in one sitting

The book sequel was pretty good as well.
The film, not so much.

I was surprised at just how different the book sequel was to the film when I read it.

So was I.
I was a bit annoyed, if I'm honest.

I think the film retained one scene from the book.
The rest of it was a completely different story. Which is odd as Spielberg asked Chricton to reintroduce Jeff Goldblum's character, even though he died in the first book, as he wanted to him in the sequel.

Hold on, he was in the book version, wasn't he?

Yes, but Spielberg specifically asked that was included in the book as he wanted him for his film sequel.

I wouldn't mind knowing how Ian Malcolm got resurrected for the second book
Otherwise, it was good

It was a throwaway line
to the effect of "Rumours of my death were greatly misreported". It was explained that he kept slipping in and out of a coma like state due to his injuries, and that was mistaken for death at the time.
