In the movie he is a minor character and gets easily killed by the raptors. Whereas in the book, Crichton respects his skill as the “legendary hunter from Nairobi” and gives him his due. It’s not just Dr. Grant who does the heroic exploits, Muldoon has his moments of heroism as well. And in general, the book goes much deeper into the various character narratives than the movie, which mostly centers on Dr. Grant and the kids. Another character that doesn’t get full attention in the movie is Dr. Ian Malcolm. Jeff Goldblum plays the character perfectly as far as his vibe, and has iconic lines that match the book, but the book goes far deeper into chaos theory, and you get this interesting philosophical discussion throughout that is lacking in the film. The book also feels more like a detective novel and thriller than the movie, which though it has its intense moments, seems to have been adjusted to be a bit more family friendly than Crichton’s text. The scientific, archaeological, and biological details in the book are also fascinating. If you enjoyed the movie, you’ll almost certainly enjoy the book even more. And it does help to have the visual references from having watched the movie, since the casting and acting and wardrobe choices are all quite faithful. Jurassic Park is a highly satisfying read. The Lost World, the only other book in the original Jurassic Park series, explores the emergent behavior and social structures of dinosaurs in a natural rather than park environment. It’s a good book. I enjoyed it. Though it’s not as good as the original, and for some reason the plot feels less gripping. You’ll get 90% of the value of the series from reading the first book alone. If you find yourself wanting more after Jurassic Park, read The Lost World next. Otherwise, skip it. https://blossom.primal.net/e21f00a44c306b582e25492a7909c6db926e59cefae417ae1862781c615a96a4.jpg npub1r0fj5wr200n0dz9nm37ysrhuy8xeg66ratq5hf960q62caaz8e5sqpuzz3 alanbwt “The only zen you’ll find on mountaintops is the zen you bring up there with you.” — Alan Watts quoting Robert Pirsig https://blossom.primal.net/be56ef08994f0ee0b4e3753c0336778114c449837c64422d9c61d99fbd90a9a8.jpg npub1r0fj5wr200n0dz9nm37ysrhuy8xeg66ratq5hf960q62caaz8e5sqpuzz3 alanbwt https://zapstore.dev/apps/com.hyperboreanpress.bitcoinmememaker #nevent1q…uvyg npub1r0fj5wr200n0dz9nm37ysrhuy8xeg66ratq5hf960q62caaz8e5sqpuzz3 alanbwt Now live on Zapstore https://zapstore.dev/apps/com.hyperboreanpress.bitcoinmememaker npub1r0fj5wr200n0dz9nm37ysrhuy8xeg66ratq5hf960q62caaz8e5sqpuzz3 alanbwt Bitcoin Meme Maker (@nprofile…0w47) is now available on Zapstore. https://zapstore.dev/apps/com.hyperboreanpress.bitcoinmememaker https://blossom.primal.net/b85bf47e0cd3372e672c78eb660728861121936fbf8760cb534e10f6ae62ae7e.jpg npub1r0fj5wr200n0dz9nm37ysrhuy8xeg66ratq5hf960q62caaz8e5sqpuzz3 alanbwt Have a blessed Sunday. https://blossom.primal.net/84ec255669518546b1abd620e53be5fab35c975ba3c24a8be18b98ee606d76eb.jpg npub1r0fj5wr200n0dz9nm37ysrhuy8xeg66ratq5hf960q62caaz8e5sqpuzz3 alanbwt Posting one classic Bitcoin meme per day on @nprofile…h3xq, all made in the app #nevent1q…z456 npub1r0fj5wr200n0dz9nm37ysrhuy8xeg66ratq5hf960q62caaz8e5sqpuzz3 alanbwt Coming to Zapstore soon npub1r0fj5wr200n0dz9nm37ysrhuy8xeg66ratq5hf960q62caaz8e5sqpuzz3 alanbwt iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bitcoin-meme-maker/id6782519474 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hyperboreanpress.bitcoinmememaker btcmeme.app @nprofile…dkqp #nevent1q…84e0 npub1r0fj5wr200n0dz9nm37ysrhuy8xeg66ratq5hf960q62caaz8e5sqpuzz3 alanbwt Bitcoin Meme Maker is now live on iOS and Android.
