Something about the book and the movie that are so alike and yet so different that make me love them both. The movie is magical, whimsical, colorful characters, suspense and action and one of the greatest action packed endings in cinema. But the book is grim, depressing even. Very graphic and hard R and a lot more people die. There’s very little magical moments and it’s just straight “everything is awful.” From the get go. lol a lot of sub plots and kinds a lack luster ending. But man the middle of the book from the T. rex attack to blowing up the raptors is just so much fun. I love both versions in their own ways.
Very much agreed! I love both for very different reasons and think that the way they diverge from each other is perfectly suited for each iteration. I love the family friendly thrill of the film, and still cackle with horror-glee throughout this entire nightmare of a masterful novel.

yep exactly, the movie hammond spared no expense when it comes to the merchandize and embellishments of the park. But the important things were kinda overlooked.
Mostly true but if you look at the dialogue between Hammond and Nedry in the movie, Hammond still shortchanges Nedry. Nedry points out that he's pretty much the only computer guy running the Park for "three days". And Hammond is like "Sorry about your financial problems, Dennis, I really am, but they are your problems." Hammond's still a dick.

@Dinofan123-qv1td oh totally capable of and ready to improvise alternative descriptions and vocabulary. 🤣 forgot to include that. Here, son of mine, let's read Hannibal Lecture. Jk
Yeah but that's pretty typical. Movies take away a lot of things because they show you the visual whereas books require imagination so that have to be more detailed.
In an interview Michael Crichton was asked if he was upset his work wasn’t considered prize-worthy or taken seriously in the literary world. He said “it comes with the territory” of his style of books for entertainment. I’ve always liked that answer. Don’t know why but I always have.
It’s unfortunate that universal treats this IP like the fast and the furious. A gritty R-rated miniseries true to the novel on HBO or Prime would be incredible.
I’d say an R-rated Anime, that way it’s different from both the live-action movies AND the Netflix Animated shows. Keep the dinosaurs’ look and sounds, but different cast, different music and a little closer to Crichton’s text.
I only put this on, on the off chance. 2 hours later and I haven’t moved and dinners still not cooked. Outstanding story telling and your voices are very gripping. We’ll done very enjoyable!!
Btw i thank you so much for uploading both these videos. I listen to them literally everynight, helps me sleep. Well this and the lost world audiobook too. I also listen to it at work in the background.
@@amehak1922this video is the audio version of the original Chrichton novel, written in the late 80s. after the movie came out, the studio had a new novel written based on the movie, which was kid-friendly and much shorter. (the Chrichton novel is about 400 pages; the kid-friendly novelization based on the movie was about 1/4 length of that) hopefully that clears things up!
@@jemeeladams there was a guy adamant there's a 2nd sequel, there wasn't. They printed a combined version of JP and LW, he mistook it as a brand new story.
Yes we all know Walt Disney to be a sinister man. The “aged perfectly” makes no sense since Walt Disney has been dead for over 30 years at the release of this novel. Did Walt Disney get more sinister in the afterlife? Hmm?
@@Legendary_Bleu "We all know" only because of all the context we have available to us now. He was not widely perceived that way during his lifetime. He obviously didn't do anything new after death, but from what I can tell there was very little appreciation among the general public for how not-so-great some of the stuff he did was until much later. This is reflected in his companies trajectory too, which went from a shoe-in among the most reputable companies in the world on one of those regular public perception polls to somewhere around 80 in the 2010's. Precipitous decline in public opinion. EDIT: Crichton surely could have known that Walt was a bad guy, but books published well into the 2000's were still perceived as bringing new offenses/reasons to not like him to light.
5:44:00 the reading of the list of expected dinosaurs was always one of the most terrifying parts of reading the book to me. Especially the raptors. Reading Expected: 8 Found: 37 was bone chilling.

Omg tysm for this I'm reading this book for school rn and reading along to this audiobook makes it so much easier for me to focus and I can enjoy reading so much more
@@samuelduchesne5841 I disagree it was my preferred and best way to read thru my college history textbooks. Any of them that had an accompanying audiobook to listen along to as I read to it got much better test scores. It aids in recall and allows you read quicker as the playback is turned up too. I'd say give it a try before you say that it is not really reading. I can usually listen on 2x or 3x speeds so long as the narrator doesn't get too funky sounding.
Damn dude. Malcom is *certain* that several of the Dinosaurs will have escaped (And/or other problems) from the second he hears of the park and is still like "Yeah homie Ill check it out lets go" 😂 Love it. Im not one of those "Plot Hole" dudes and frankly i dont even think its beyond his characterization. Definitely seems like an individual who not only needs to be right but needs to be kind of smug about it. Just one of those folks who just *cant* help but to have the last word (At least if he's not too fond of the other person) no matter how pedantic or if its gonna ruin the family dinner or whatever lol. Particularly in the second book but its present here too. Great book, thanks for the upload😂
Hammond was right about his characterization: Malcon is that type who has to be there so he can gloat when he's proven right. (even if his life is at risk)
@cyrilkain1889 precisely. Actually revisited TLW after going through this audiobook again and that's basically the ENTIRE reason he even goes to Site B (And gets poor Eddie killed)
Like many people, I read the novel after seeing Jurassic Park as a kid, and I was shocked at just how much darker the original work is compared to the movie - Genaro getting nommed by the Rex in Spielberg's flick was one thing, but Nedry getting disembowled by the Dilophosaurus and a pack of Compsognathus *eating a newborn baby alive* is another level of pure nightmare fuel. I just hope one day we can get an R-rated adaptation of this masterpiece so we can see the full unadulterated fury of Mother Nature at work.
Personally I like it the other way around. Usually the books are better than the movies/series, so if I watch them first then I can enjoy the show and later enjoy the details in the books. If I read the books first, then I would likely curse the movies/series for leaving out so much detail.
I mean, you could have just cloned a few herbivore species and your park would still have been mobbed by visitors, you know, to see any animal brought back after tens of millions of years of extinction. But of course, hubris won out.
He could also have started with herbivores whilst getting the park security and operation up to snuff. Then, once the excitement around herbivores faded, which it would because we are particularly fascinated by carnivores, he could introduce one or two carnivores every couple of years. This would give them time to flush out a lot of the bugs in the system and study the carnivores and their behavior to develop the best possible containment system for them. Also, they could modify the carnivores to be more manageable as Wu suggested.
@@SatanLiterallythere would also be no story lol although I love what ifs and alternate scenarios I always end up realising there wouldn’t be a story anymore and nothing would happen lol
@@jaredcastro579Yes. I think they say at some point when the kids are introduced than Tim was around 11 or 12 and Alex was a couple years younger. The story with the movie casting that I’ve heard is that Spielberg had promised the actor who played Tim a role after he wasn’t cast in an earlier film. So he cast him in Jurassic Park and decided to cast an older girl as his sister because he felt audiences wouldn’t be comfortable with such a young child being chased by dinos. I seem to remember an interview with Michael Crichton where he joked that Spielberg was more forgiving than he was. 😂
@@jakea3950Yes it was a bit lazy so they could get him to have an easy arc where he comes to love kids since he has to protect them. But I’m surprised they set that up, that he didn’t like kids yet he seemed quickly to help them. Would make more sense for Ian to have saved the kids only for Grant to have to be forced to take over after Ian gets hurt
Honestly, this book is truly horrifying. I think the movie would have been better as an R rated Straight Horror film. And that's because I don't consider the movie a horror movie but this book I can easily say it is HORRIFYING.
A large part of the audience for the movie when it released in 1993 were older children and young teenagers. Making it R rated would have meant losing that audience, and a lot of money. People always seem to forget that some things in the entertainment industry were very different in the 90s. You couldn't make an R rated movie out of something that might have appeal to kids, not like you can now. It's the same reason that the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie has very little blood. So the Jurassic movie HAD to be considerably toned down and altered from the book, at the time there was just no way to avoid that
thats the thing - the movie is a HORROR movie, but brilliantly directed so it becomes a light story for all ages - but there is a deep core of horror in it. Steven Spielberg manufactured perfectly so all ages could watch it.

I read this book when I was nine. Parts of it were definitely over my head but i was really proud of making it through. The movie was fun but they definitely dumbed it down. Nowhere near as scary. For some weird reason I really liked Dr. Wu in the book and he was almost non-existent in the movie, so I was kind of pissed about that. I also don't understand why they switched Lex and Tim's roles...and there was no baby triceratops, pterodactyls or miniature elephants either. Wow it's all coming back and I haven't even started listening to this lol
I have heard it said that way in the U.K but this guy definitely surprised me. I hoped he would only say it once but evidently that is the animal Crichton thought that Tina would fixate on
If you like Chrichton try “the andromeda strain” Much more hard science inn that one but for me equally entertaining. Excellent stuff. Thank you for the upload. ❤🎉
He writes a good story, with an accuracy that is uncanny. I know as I was a young molecular biologist at similar biotech start ups in the late 80s, although I only ever worked on commercial human therapeutics. A few good products amongst a sea of what were investor scams, a huge difference between what we knew internally and what was spun to the media and the investors. Companies greedy to avoid missing out on huge profits invested millions in essentially nothing, somewhat unethical as we conducted human trials on products we knew wouldn’t work, just to increase the size of product portfolios. Although in fairness we also knew they wouldn’t do harm to the foreign students that we ran the experiments on, poor foreign students made the best volunteers!
@@zephyrr108 That’s capitalism for you. Most of us willing exchange our labour (and the ticking time bomb that is our limited lives) for fiat money that everyone knows is ultimately going to be worthless. No different. It works quite well until everyone realises it is a scam.
The park would already be 70 percent safer if they just got rid of the dam raptors. At least the Rex acts like a normal animal, the raptors are hyper aggressive killers in this book.
This was a great audio book. My feelings on it mirror a lot of comments already made about the contrast and similarities. One thing I will note tho that I found amusing is how bro pronounces white,foliage, and sloth. But what really caught me off guard was how he pronounced the word “whir” towards the end😂😂
Thanks for the upload, listened to this at work and it was amazing. I gotta buy the books now, always loved the movies never knew the books were so good
Always wanted a more novel accurate adaptation and i can't wait to see more progress on evolvedino's project that aims to make that wish more of a reality, the guy is making a soundtrack, scripts, art, and 3D digital dioramas. And honestly it looks awesome so far.
I loved Crichton, I just recently read Sphere and it was awesome but I can't find a copy of Jurassic Park in any of my local book stores so......here I am
I was playing this as I went to sleep and as I was dozing off my mind just had a picture of Robin Williams reading Jurassic park , especially with the different accents in the beginning, he sounds a lot like the fluctuations Robin had , or I was just really really tired lol
I was luck to read this long before the very average script movie came out. I bought the entire Crichton catalogue (except train robbery) off the back of it. Every one was fascinating. A wonderful mix of cutting science fact and theory woven into an intriguing fiction.
Surprised that no one during the editing process pointed out the difference between a 'poisonous' dinosaur and a 'venomous' dinosaur. Calling them poisonous implies that you've been eating them.
The book was written around 1990, when such things as calling a creature venomous was mostly restricted to academics. The layman would automatically go for poisonous every time. (it's still done today with people saying the poison dart frog is the most poisonous rather than venomous)
Lex is probably the most unrealistic part of the book; A child who finds dinosaurs boring. I would have been hopping on the spot (still would today) if I'd be offered a tour of a dinosaur Park.
Guess they shoved the annoying kid aspect of Alex into Tim and made Alex into a scared girl who actually had some use, other than to call every dino within hearing range to threaten the cast every chance she had.
The audible one is more "modern" and has been cut down a bit...the original "the lost world" audio book was significantly longer than the one on audible.
I fell asleep and then woke up to a baby dying and blaming it on SIDS. I was like, that’s not on the movie no wonder they had to cut it down 😅 very nice though I love this
Greater than the movie for sure! SPOILERS ------> Love how this version of t-rex shows what it really is, it's not healthy but Hammond used this unfinished creature in hopes to showcase it. The book really shows the writers grip on genetic engineering as a world changing power.
This was such a great book. But that movie was incredible in theaters. It's rare you get a book/movie combo that are so good, even with them not being exactly the same. The book has great parts that would be unreasonable to film. But the movie has visuals that you really couldnt articulate at the time.
Can't it'll be NC-17 the last movie to have that didn't fare do well in theaters...that being said a Netflix style series would probably be better especially considering the amount of story that needs to be condensed...add to that we could get a prologue of sorts about the foundation of ingen and the back room deals concerning the island and worker deaths....much more interesting from a techno thriller standpoint.
6:58:26 Quite a way to end the video “…And the horror of that realization was followed by a final wish: that it would all be ended, soon” D; End of Side Six :)
I like how he carefully gets the pronunciation of each dinosaur species correct, but he pronounces modem as “moh-DEMM” haha… ahhhh remember when computers weren’t a thing yet?
I love how Lex starts crying from thunder, yet right after is so unphased by the Rex roar that the only thing she can do is reprimand Regis for using inappropriate language as he's pissing his pants in fear.
It's wild how much different Ian Malcolm is in the book vs the movies. Shame we didn't see the Muldoon rocket launcher, too lol. I think the biggest miss of the book to movie translation is there are no camouflaged Carnotaurus in the movie. That was probably the coolest part left out of the movie.
I think they've captured Malcolm's spirit pretty well, the only difference is that he didn't get as much screen time as he did in the books. If he did, he'd have much more humor and so.. The part where he and grant are talking just before the T-Rex attacked their car was the funniest thing ever.
They just toned down Malcom's jerkiness in the movies, to make him somewhat likable rather than a know-it-all snob who liked the sound of his own voice almost as much as he liked being right. He's still the guy who wants to be there so he can rub it in when he's proven right.

He said “it comes with the territory” of his style of books for entertainment. I’ve always liked that answer. Don’t know why but I always have.
It's an honest and mature answer, from a wise man.

@@bmanleeone9192So?
Ok
@@bmanleeone9192you’re deep in the comments of a Jurassic park audio book my brother, might wanna look in the mirror
Every time I'm drawing something dinosaur related, I always listen to this masterpiece.
It’s unfortunate that universal treats this IP like the fast and the furious. A gritty R-rated miniseries true to the novel on HBO or Prime would be incredible.
Agreed
Provided they DON'T make Alex 100% like in the book.
@@cyrilkain1889 one of the most annoying characters ever put to page lol
I’d say an R-rated Anime, that way it’s different from both the live-action movies AND the Netflix Animated shows. Keep the dinosaurs’ look and sounds, but different cast, different music and a little closer to Crichton’s text.
I only put this on, on the off chance. 2 hours later and I haven’t moved and dinners still not cooked.
Outstanding story telling and your voices are very gripping.
We’ll done very enjoyable!!
At age 12, it was the first novel I ever read. Great book!
I'm not sure we even knew about DNA yet when I was 12.

Yoooo they got Vesemir from the Witcher 3 to read the audio book?!?! They spared no expense
5:10:10 Hearing Vesemir, as Lex, shout out the line "Hey, stμpid dinosaur! Mooooove!" Is absolutely hilarious to me
Dr. Wu calling the Procompsognathus a Jurassic scavenger while it was a Triassic era dinosaur is really telling...
Good thing the movies corrected the Genus to just Compsognathus
He did earlier refer to it as potentially being longeceps and not triassicus so there could be a reason for that.
Finally clear audio without skips
I saw the movie in 93 and read the book in 95. I never knew the book is so different than the movie before that.
There are Two Book Versions
One this and one based on the Movie.
@@ninabriesch4184 I've only seen the junior novel version for kids. Is there an adult novel version of it?
@@amehak1922this video is the audio version of the original Chrichton novel, written in the late 80s.
after the movie came out, the studio had a new novel written based on the movie, which was kid-friendly and much shorter. (the Chrichton novel is about 400 pages; the kid-friendly novelization based on the movie was about 1/4 length of that)
hopefully that clears things up!
@@amehak1922yes there is the original which is very graphic like a horror but detailed so good to read
@@jemeeladams there was a guy adamant there's a 2nd sequel, there wasn't. They printed a combined version of JP and LW, he mistook it as a brand new story.

Oh, pandemic flashbacks.
"John Hammond is about as sinister as Walt Disney," aged perfectly.
Indeed 😂
Michael Crichton knew *exactly* what he was talking about.
Michael Crichton made Hammond a darker version of Walt Disney
Yes we all know Walt Disney to be a sinister man. The “aged perfectly” makes no sense since Walt Disney has been dead for over 30 years at the release of this novel. Did Walt Disney get more sinister in the afterlife? Hmm?
@@Legendary_Bleu "We all know" only because of all the context we have available to us now. He was not widely perceived that way during his lifetime. He obviously didn't do anything new after death, but from what I can tell there was very little appreciation among the general public for how not-so-great some of the stuff he did was until much later. This is reflected in his companies trajectory too, which went from a shoe-in among the most reputable companies in the world on one of those regular public perception polls to somewhere around 80 in the 2010's. Precipitous decline in public opinion.
EDIT: Crichton surely could have known that Walt was a bad guy, but books published well into the 2000's were still perceived as bringing new offenses/reasons to not like him to light.
5:44:00 the reading of the list of expected dinosaurs was always one of the most terrifying parts of reading the book to me. Especially the raptors. Reading Expected: 8 Found: 37 was bone chilling.
Totally agree, how Crichton managed to make reading graphs and charts Some of the most suspenseful and scary moments of the book is truly remarkable.
Yep, that was a moment you could tell someone almost needed a change of pants.
You’re both the hero we need and deserve. Thanks so much for this

Thats not realy reading tho
dinosaur schoooool
@@samuelduchesne5841 I disagree it was my preferred and best way to read thru my college history textbooks. Any of them that had an accompanying audiobook to listen along to as I read to it got much better test scores. It aids in recall and allows you read quicker as the playback is turned up too. I'd say give it a try before you say that it is not really reading. I can usually listen on 2x or 3x speeds so long as the narrator doesn't get too funky sounding.
@@samuelduchesne5841Yes it is.
@@samuelduchesne5841 some people cannot process reading as easily as others. If this helps, then that’s great.
Damn dude. Malcom is *certain* that several of the Dinosaurs will have escaped (And/or other problems) from the second he hears of the park and is still like "Yeah homie Ill check it out lets go" 😂
Love it. Im not one of those "Plot Hole" dudes and frankly i dont even think its beyond his characterization. Definitely seems like an individual who not only needs to be right but needs to be kind of smug about it. Just one of those folks who just *cant* help but to have the last word (At least if he's not too fond of the other person) no matter how pedantic or if its gonna ruin the family dinner or whatever lol. Particularly in the second book but its present here too.
Great book, thanks for the upload😂
Hammond was right about his characterization: Malcon is that type who has to be there so he can gloat when he's proven right. (even if his life is at risk)
@cyrilkain1889 precisely. Actually revisited TLW after going through this audiobook again and that's basically the ENTIRE reason he even goes to Site B (And gets poor Eddie killed)
Very well read I must say❤️. The way he tells this story is just perfect and he has a great voice that perfectly fits the characters.
So much better than the movie. And the movie was great. But this way I have actors faces to identify each character, which is nice. 😊
Finally an audio narration that sounds good
The old jurassic park toy lines were more inspired by the book than the movie... (Muldoon and LAW-rocket launcher)
What an incredible book! I’ve been hooked from the first chapter! Leans way heavier in the science part of sci-fi and I find that fascinating
Like many people, I read the novel after seeing Jurassic Park as a kid, and I was shocked at just how much darker the original work is compared to the movie - Genaro getting nommed by the Rex in Spielberg's flick was one thing, but Nedry getting disembowled by the Dilophosaurus and a pack of Compsognathus *eating a newborn baby alive* is another level of pure nightmare fuel. I just hope one day we can get an R-rated adaptation of this masterpiece so we can see the full unadulterated fury of Mother Nature at work.
Velociraptors expected 8. . . Found 37
That's a staggering number 😅
Yep, I reacted omfg when I read it the first time.
I was like, HOLY SHIT!! They are so screwed
This scene wasn't in the movie right?
@@badnewsjp I don't think so
Na, alot was cut from the original book or used in later movies
Always remember being told to read the book before seeing the movie I’m glad I listened! Movie brilliant although so much more content in the book 📖 🥰
Personally I like it the other way around. Usually the books are better than the movies/series, so if I watch them first then I can enjoy the show and later enjoy the details in the books. If I read the books first, then I would likely curse the movies/series for leaving out so much detail.
@@michaelrasmussen6318ditto!
That’s the rule bro! But in real life most of us does the opposite 😂😂😂
I mean, you could have just cloned a few herbivore species and your park would still have been mobbed by visitors, you know, to see any animal brought back after tens of millions of years of extinction. But of course, hubris won out.
He could also have started with herbivores whilst getting the park security and operation up to snuff. Then, once the excitement around herbivores faded, which it would because we are particularly fascinated by carnivores, he could introduce one or two carnivores every couple of years. This would give them time to flush out a lot of the bugs in the system and study the carnivores and their behavior to develop the best possible containment system for them. Also, they could modify the carnivores to be more manageable as Wu suggested.
@@SatanLiterallythere would also be no story lol although I love what ifs and alternate scenarios I always end up realising there wouldn’t be a story anymore and nothing would happen lol
Grant liked kids in the book?!?!? Mind is blown (not a dirty pervert joke, i mean he enjoyed their company) Totally different in the movie
Hollywood stereotypes to a tee and when he "becomes" a kid person.
Another of the many reasons books are always better.
I also got the impression that Tim was the older sibling, cause Lex seemed more immature of the two.
@@jaredcastro579Yes. I think they say at some point when the kids are introduced than Tim was around 11 or 12 and Alex was a couple years younger. The story with the movie casting that I’ve heard is that Spielberg had promised the actor who played Tim a role after he wasn’t cast in an earlier film. So he cast him in Jurassic Park and decided to cast an older girl as his sister because he felt audiences wouldn’t be comfortable with such a young child being chased by dinos. I seem to remember an interview with Michael Crichton where he joked that Spielberg was more forgiving than he was. 😂
@@jakea3950Yes it was a bit lazy so they could get him to have an easy arc where he comes to love kids since he has to protect them. But I’m surprised they set that up, that he didn’t like kids yet he seemed quickly to help them. Would make more sense for Ian to have saved the kids only for Grant to have to be forced to take over after Ian gets hurt
Honestly, this book is truly horrifying. I think the movie would have been better as an R rated Straight Horror film. And that's because I don't consider the movie a horror movie but this book I can easily say it is HORRIFYING.
It's meant to be...but WAY too technical for the majority...
The movie we got, while a great flick, is honestly an overly simplified cartoon compared to the novel.
A large part of the audience for the movie when it released in 1993 were older children and young teenagers. Making it R rated would have meant losing that audience, and a lot of money. People always seem to forget that some things in the entertainment industry were very different in the 90s. You couldn't make an R rated movie out of something that might have appeal to kids, not like you can now. It's the same reason that the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie has very little blood. So the Jurassic movie HAD to be considerably toned down and altered from the book, at the time there was just no way to avoid that
thats the thing - the movie is a HORROR movie, but brilliantly directed so it becomes a light story for all ages - but there is a deep core of horror in it. Steven Spielberg manufactured perfectly so all ages could watch it.

This is the greatest book I have ever listened to 😮
You’ll like the fungus
The novel is soooo good, but it makes the movie even more impressive after realsing how expertly they adapted the book for the fim. A perfect movie.
I read this book when I was nine. Parts of it were definitely over my head but i was really proud of making it through. The movie was fun but they definitely dumbed it down. Nowhere near as scary. For some weird reason I really liked Dr. Wu in the book and he was almost non-existent in the movie, so I was kind of pissed about that. I also don't understand why they switched Lex and Tim's roles...and there was no baby triceratops, pterodactyls or miniature elephants either. Wow it's all coming back and I haven't even started listening to this lol
His pronounciation of "sloth" triggered me.
I have heard it said that way in the U.K but this guy definitely surprised me. I hoped he would only say it once but evidently that is the animal Crichton thought that Tina would fixate on
Pretty sure that was the little girl not saying it properly
When?
@@SantiagoNguyen-vk3fo one of the earliest chapters , when the family is headed to the beach before the girl is bitten by a Compi
getting triggered by words is a sign of weakness and mental illness.
I love this, Nedry is way more talkative in this than the film
If you like Chrichton try “the andromeda strain”
Much more hard science inn that one but for me equally entertaining.
Excellent stuff.
Thank you for the upload. ❤🎉
Try Congo too. So much better than the movie
AH, this brings back memories. I used to listen to this while falling asleep as a kid.
He writes a good story, with an accuracy that is uncanny. I know as I was a young molecular biologist at similar biotech start ups in the late 80s, although I only ever worked on commercial human therapeutics. A few good products amongst a sea of what were investor scams, a huge difference between what we knew internally and what was spun to the media and the investors. Companies greedy to avoid missing out on huge profits invested millions in essentially nothing, somewhat unethical as we conducted human trials on products we knew wouldn’t work, just to increase the size of product portfolios. Although in fairness we also knew they wouldn’t do harm to the foreign students that we ran the experiments on, poor foreign students made the best volunteers!
that was getting dark, but at least you knew it wouldnt harm them. lol.
@@zephyrr108 That’s capitalism for you. Most of us willing exchange our labour (and the ticking time bomb that is our limited lives) for fiat money that everyone knows is ultimately going to be worthless. No different.
It works quite well until everyone realises it is a scam.
Favorite book ever. Pure horror. Would love someone to remake the movies one day true to their book form
Thanks for uploading. This is perfect as I recuperate from an illness.
The computer counting up is my absolute favorite part, so tense.
The park would already be 70 percent safer if they just got rid of the dam raptors. At least the Rex acts like a normal animal, the raptors are hyper aggressive killers in this book.
Not to mention how damn smart they are. It seems everything started with those living people shredders.
University simply aren't where it's happening now and they haven't been for 40 years John Hammond nailed it
Thank you for uploading this! This is my first time “reading” this book.
This was a great audio book. My feelings on it mirror a lot of comments already made about the contrast and similarities. One thing I will note tho that I found amusing is how bro pronounces white,foliage, and sloth. But what really caught me off guard was how he pronounced the word “whir” towards the end😂😂
Thanks for the upload, listened to this at work and it was amazing. I gotta buy the books now, always loved the movies never knew the books were so good
Always wanted a more novel accurate adaptation and i can't wait to see more progress on evolvedino's project that aims to make that wish more of a reality, the guy is making a soundtrack, scripts, art, and 3D digital dioramas. And honestly it looks awesome so far.
we need this turned into a movie since it would be cool and scary
I loved Crichton, I just recently read Sphere and it was awesome but I can't find a copy of Jurassic Park in any of my local book stores so......here I am
Great book and reading. Almost finished with section. I'll probably listen to the other half tonight. Sleep is overrated.
I was playing this as I went to sleep and as I was dozing off my mind just had a picture of Robin Williams reading Jurassic park , especially with the different accents in the beginning, he sounds a lot like the fluctuations Robin had , or I was just really really tired lol
I was luck to read this long before the very average script movie came out. I bought the entire Crichton catalogue (except train robbery) off the back of it.
Every one was fascinating. A wonderful mix of cutting science fact and theory woven into an intriguing fiction.
When I first read this book, I always imagined Muldoon as a real Jesse-Ventura-from Predator type dude. I love the movie, but this book was great
Always loved the portrayal of Robert Muldoon in the movie. Bob Peck was fantastic.
“Ain’t got time to bleed”

I wish Nedry accomplished his plan. He had his good reasons.
As a kid i hated Nedry but as a adult i feel for Nedry, dude had the second most important job and was being paid pennys worth.
@@blacktemplarbrotherlucius1935and worse he had the most gruesome death
Surprised that no one during the editing process pointed out the difference between a 'poisonous' dinosaur and a 'venomous' dinosaur.
Calling them poisonous implies that you've been eating them.
The book was written around 1990, when such things as calling a creature venomous was mostly restricted to academics. The layman would automatically go for poisonous every time. (it's still done today with people saying the poison dart frog is the most poisonous rather than venomous)
Dang YT this is free?! Sign me up!
I understand why a closer to the book version doesnt work as a movie, bit IT WOULD be an awesome series👀
Yes, it'd be interesting to see the real thing going on on TV even though it'd be rated R... Or, even worse than R 😅
greatest catchphrase "OH BALLS"
My favourite childhood book and with amazing narration
The film is brilliant, an all-time classic. It would be great to have a limited series that is a 100% faithful adaptation of the novel as well.
Maybe not 100%. Keeping Alex more like her movie version would be better. The book version of her is 50% annoying, 50% dead weight, 100% useless.
Lex is probably the most unrealistic part of the book; A child who finds dinosaurs boring.
I would have been hopping on the spot (still would today) if I'd be offered a tour of a dinosaur Park.
In the movie I always thought tim was annoying, it's definitely Lex in the book.
Guess they shoved the annoying kid aspect of Alex into Tim and made Alex into a scared girl who actually had some use, other than to call every dino within hearing range to threaten the cast every chance she had.
It’s funny how so much of this could not have taken place after 2001
This is better than the one on Audible
The audible one is more "modern" and has been cut down a bit...the original "the lost world" audio book was significantly longer than the one on audible.
I fell asleep and then woke up to a baby dying and blaming it on SIDS. I was like, that’s not on the movie no wonder they had to cut it down 😅 very nice though I love this
Greater than the movie for sure! SPOILERS ------> Love how this version of t-rex shows what it really is, it's not healthy but Hammond used this unfinished creature in hopes to showcase it.
The book really shows the writers grip on genetic engineering as a world changing power.
What a narration ❤❤
This is great. Cant help but howl every time i hear "timmyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" 😅
This was such a great book. But that movie was incredible in theaters. It's rare you get a book/movie combo that are so good, even with them not being exactly the same. The book has great parts that would be unreasonable to film. But the movie has visuals that you really couldnt articulate at the time.
Fantastic reading.
The man's voice is perfect for it.
This was the first book I COULD NOT put down!
I think the narration is great. It feels so real.
This is has to be one of the best books ever ❤

"John Hammond's about as sinister as Walt Disney".
I literally just commented about that 😂
So appropriate to end part 1 with the Nedry scene 😂
If there ever is a Jurassic Park remake I want it to follow the novel to a T.
Can't it'll be NC-17 the last movie to have that didn't fare do well in theaters...that being said a Netflix style series would probably be better especially considering the amount of story that needs to be condensed...add to that we could get a prologue of sorts about the foundation of ingen and the back room deals concerning the island and worker deaths....much more interesting from a techno thriller standpoint.
@@ywe3It most definitely would not be NC-17. It would be Rated R. There’s nothing in the book to warrant a rating that high.
It's amazing how Lex is even more annoying in the book than in the movie...
Spielberg swapped Lex and Tim's ages as he'd promised to cast Joseph Mazello in his next movie.

Quite a way to end the video

End of Side Six :)
In the Dilo's defense it DID give him a couple of warning shots first.
Klayton Fioriti got me interested. He's a huge monster and dinosaur fan, especially Jurassic Park.
I like how he carefully gets the pronunciation of each dinosaur species correct, but he pronounces modem as “moh-DEMM” haha… ahhhh remember when computers weren’t a thing yet?
Well, to be fair england and most places on the planet say mo-dem... its only america that pronouces it "mo-dum".... I mean it is spelt Modem.....
How about how he pronounces the o in sloth like the o in tote
@mickyvalenz9959 I agree. Way more egregious
I love how Lex starts crying from thunder, yet right after is so unphased by the Rex roar that the only thing she can do is reprimand Regis for using inappropriate language as he's pissing his pants in fear.
It's wild how much different Ian Malcolm is in the book vs the movies. Shame we didn't see the Muldoon rocket launcher, too lol. I think the biggest miss of the book to movie translation is there are no camouflaged Carnotaurus in the movie. That was probably the coolest part left out of the movie.
I think they've captured Malcolm's spirit pretty well, the only difference is that he didn't get as much screen time as he did in the books. If he did, he'd have much more humor and so.. The part where he and grant are talking just before the T-Rex attacked their car was the funniest thing ever.
They just toned down Malcom's jerkiness in the movies, to make him somewhat likable rather than a know-it-all snob who liked the sound of his own voice almost as much as he liked being right. He's still the guy who wants to be there so he can rub it in when he's proven right.
