    The reason the screenplay so different from the novel is all because of Lex. The producers realized that they can't make a movie where the audience desperately wants a little girl to be killed by dinosaurs. So, they rewrote the children, and from there they began to change other things until we were left with what Spielberg used to make film.

      @@stevepalpatine2828 No. Although Crichton is a certifiable genius as an author, he somewhat missed the mark here. What he (and the narrator) get right early on is her as a whiny, spoiled 8 year old. On this, Crichton is PERFECT! But where he failed (and you can't blame the narrator here, he's just reading the words on the page) is that in the many examples where Lex is ATTACKED and comes within an inch of her life, her response is ... to whine for ice cream??? No. Even a spoiled, whiny, 8 year old is going to devolve to their reptile brain and do whatever it takes to *survive.* If someone told her to shut up and fall in line, she would. ANYONE would.
      It reinforces her character, I get it ... but it's completely unrealistic. No matter how whiny, no matter how bratty, *NO MATTER WHAT* ... no child is going to stand in front of a 40 foot tall T-Rex and complain "I'm hunnnngry." All they'd do is shit their pants and cry.

    The movie was incredible but what the book does better is how the human designed systems were always faulty. Yes the dinosaurs were breeding in the movie but there wasn’t an indication of where they are doing that, in or out side the enclosures the movie didn’t really indicate when the characters were inside or outside the enclosures. Nedry shut down the grid in the movie. that’s the only problem they had. a disgruntled Employee. Otherwise the movie implies they had control and someone messed it up. The book shows they never had control to begin with. So Dr. Sattler’s lecture to Mr Hammond about hubris in the movie doesn’t make sense and a little awkward

      Thats a very good observation, never really thought about it that way, but you are 100% right.

      Yeah I feel like a lot of Lex's annoyingness can be forgiven when you remember she's a very young child. I feel like most writers would have written her essentially as a young teenager even if they described her as being six years old to get around that. Children are difficult to write. They're either annoyingly precocious or annoyingly stupid. Annoyingly stupid is closer to reality for most kids.
      Edit: she's eight, not six, but still.

    Roberts does an excellent job narrating, but part of the problem is that he makes almost every character talk to each other as if the others are stupid. He uses a condescending tone in places that probably werent meant to sound that way. Similarly with Lex, Chrichton likely wanted her to sound afraid in some parts, but Roberts almost always uses a whiney tone with her no matter the context.

      But this is one of the only weak parts in Crichton's writing. Lex is never really, TRULY afraid. Even in the midst of extreme danger, her only comment is to whine "I'm hunnngry." She stands in front of a 40 foot T-Rex and say "I want ice cream." It's absurd. The early parts of her character are spot-on for a spoiled, whiny brat. But once the real shit hits the fan (and there are SOOO many times it happens), that would have immediately stopped. Crichton is, here, comparing a whiny kid in a restaurant that won't shut up ... to a kid that was almost eaten by a 50 ton dinosaur. Those aren't comparable situations.

      Upon re-listening to this book, Lex reminds me a LOT of my niece when she was 7-8 years old.
      People will say she’s annoying and useless but honestly the way she’s written and depicted is very realistic to how 7-8 years olds are, and if they were in this situation this is probably how they would react and behave.
      Apparently a lot of people don’t understand that kids are not all Precocious and wise. So many authors write child characters as if they were small adults not understanding that kids simply aren’t like that.
      It would have been easy to write both Lex and Tim as Precocious kids but Crichton instead made them realistic and true to how kids are in real-life.
      Yes, an Amusement Park full of cloned dinosaurs isn’t realistic, however we as readers are willing to suspend our disbelief because the story is well written. If Crichton w

      Nothing to do with her being a woman, it sounded like the attack on Wu was very quick, and Ellie was concentrating on what she thought (and what was until that point) the real threat.
      By the time anyone realized it was too late.
      She was quick enough thinking and reacting to get away, a lot of people would have frozen for a moment in shock after seeing Wu attacked, I don't think it takes anything from Ellie as a character, just shows shes not perfect.

    It displays the ability to adapt to situations for even the least adept of humans, because we can cooperate, strategize, and overcome great obstacles, including but not limited to vicious and savage hunters.

Like there's a Japanese character, the disfigured love interest, in "Rising Sun" who is basically him speaking about his prejudice against Japanese people. He even made a journalist who gave his book a bad review a child molester in one of his books, using the man's government name. One of his biggest flaws as a writer, to me was the way he couldn't separate himself/his views from his characters, really distracted from the stories he was telling at times.

    Can never get myself to listen the the baby raptor part. Would’ve done what I could to save it 😂

      I went to look at a nonexistent (I guess) reply and accidentally hit the thumbs down button. I fixed it though. My bad. Also I covered my head with a pillow during the Nedry death scene. Like that would keep me from hearing it lol! Headphones.
