Great video, Shaun - thanks for the updates! Speaking of books/movies, I'm reading Jurassic Park for the first time and while I'm only about halfway through, there are SO many differences to the movie. And... oddly enough, I think I enjoy the movie more (which is usually not the case with me). Haha!
@@TedReadInstead I like (pretty sure that you've noticed this already so it's not a spoiler) that in the book, Alan likes kids, because kids love dinosaurs and he loves dinosaurs, so they naturally get along. I can see why Spielberg made the change to show Alan's development to being protective toward the kids, sorta showing he's ready for fatherhood which is also created I think since there isn't a romance story in the book I believe. So I can see why they changed that, but I liked the book version. It makes sense for Alan to like kids because kids like dinosaurs. Hey if you're interested, I have a video that's kinda funny, Reacting to One-Star reviews of my favorite books. One of them is Jurassic Park. ruclips.net/video/lt1YIQRLFsQ/видео.htmlsi=hHnqwJS2CiT8t91K
@@shaunholt Yes, that was definitely one of the bigger differences I spotted, along with a few others. And I can see your point... it does make sense. I just think I enjoyed to see Grant's change and growth in the movie more. Added some humor along with some noticeable character growth.
@@TedReadInstead I can't say Spielberg was wrong to do it. The film is definitely a masterpiece. And a lot of it owed to John Williams, who orchestrated so many famous themes from people's childhoods.
Yesterday I wrote Keeping Tessa for the first time in a couple weeks, and I had my first chapter I've gotten really excited about. Also I decided to DNF Going After Cacciato. 🙁 I mentioned in this video that magical realism is my second least favorite genre, and Cacciato happens to have magical realism qualities. I'm debating if I should choose my 25 books to read in 2025, or let random number generator decide my to-read list.
