I wouldn't change a thing about either. I have to admit that I hated the last Jurassic Park film and the second was eh, but I loved the first one. It didn't have to have everything that was in the book to be good.
I always thought that in Michael Crichton's earlier books he would come up with great ideas ( Sphere, Andromeda Strain) and then never know how to end them. A great start would just sort of peter out. He did learn but that, of course, has nothing to do with what Hollywood screenwriters will do with a book once they get their hands on it.
The only thing I didn't like about Jurassic Park was the kids. I hate movies with kids in them.
Little annoying bastards!
