Malcolm was an author surrogate for the purpose of going on weird abstract rants which were mostly nonsensical even before they injected him full of morphine.

I vastly prefer reading books in general, but with Jurassic Park they really cleaned up a lot of rough edges in the movie. The kids are way less annoying too.

I read the book as kid after seeing the movie. I don't remember it so well, but one scene I liked in the book absent from the movie was the "compies" killing Dr. Hammond with narcotic bites.

Oh man, I really liked that one too. I couldn't find it with a quick search, but iirc they added that scene in one of the later movies (although maybe not with Hammond).
