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.
