Agreed. The book was awesome. The movie was an abomination. If I were Crichton I would have had my name removed from it.

I think Jurassic Park was the first book I read by him.
I then read Timeline, and all the other Jurassic Parks.
I agree, his books were good, but the movies sucked (compared to the books).
Best way to watch a Crichton movie is to not read the book first.
But this is true for King too. (Could "Needful Things" and "Dream Catcher" be any more worse than they were, compared to the books?)
Rest in peace, MC.

Dreamcatcher was a decent as a book - I did the audio thing with it too - but it was one of the WORST movies I have ever seen.
Congo was definitely a bad movie when it comes to Chricton books. I also hated Lost World - mainly because it drifted WAAAY too far from the source material.

That's the reason I never bothered to watch the movies. Unless I hear otherwise, Id rather read the book.
Zakk:
You never watched Jurassic Park?

Nope. Part of it too was the timing. I was little when it came out and I wasn't the bravest child...
