So, I know I read this the year the movie came out, but that was too long ago to remember just about anything from it - not to mention I was far younger, so I don't know how much I truly understood with it. Fast forward 25 years and I listened to the audiobook...

Well, yeah, the movie is better. Now, I get I might have a huge bias in that since I've watched the movie plenty of times over the past 2o something years and never reread the book every again until this week, but still, I will take the movie over the book. First of all, it felt like all the characters except for Grant, Tim and Malcolm were utterly stupid. Clearly a movie is going to make changes from a book as we all know, but the movie improved Hammond and Statler and the kids considerably. Where the book was better was obviously it can go into far more explanations about genetic engineering, or dinosaurs in general, or Malcolm's chaos theory explanations. It also had a better Gennero and to some extent Henry Wu.

As for the audiobook itself, it was unabridged (yes!), and the narrator was tolerable, but not the greatest. So, all in all, glad I listened to it to get the original story, but yeah, I'll still with the movie.
