    Wow, it’s been near 30 years since I read that. The thing I remember most distinctly is how different the lawyer was between the book and movie.

        Now that you mention it, I recall he’s generally a lot more sinister in the book.

      I think Nedry’s death in the book is that for me. The movie version is practically G-rated compared to how it went down in the novel.

        First time I ever had to think about the possibility of what would happen with a sizable belly slash.

        Never going to un-imagine it.

        It was so visceral in the book. I remember watching the movie thinking “oh its about to happen”, then it’s basically off camera.

      I only read the book as an adult on vacation. Thing that stood out to me was the very first scene and going “Oh! Yeah, probably good they didn’t put that in the movie.”

        Despite posting a photo of the book in my hand, I haven’t read it for a good minute. You’re referring to the clinic scene? (I think that’s first in the book, but not 100%).
