Malcolm survived the first book but is badly injured and has a long road to recovery. Uses a cane a lot. He's one of the main characters in book 2.
They butchered the story in the second movie. Par for the course.

Crichton was pushed into writing The Lost World and, as many people have already stated, you can tell. The writing is definitely different. Its not as good.
I'm a huge Crichton fan and I wish they would do an adaptation of one of his books and stay true to the material. Jurassic Park is a great movie, but it pales in comparison to the book.
I know, I know, the book is never as good as the movie, but JP was so much darker and grittier than the movie. I wish Spielberg would've gone that route.
It saddens me how they never seem to want to stay faithful to his stories.
Timeline (probably my all-time favorite of his books) - shite movie.
EDIT - Don't know why I put Sum of All Fears. Crichton wrote State of Fear.

No, Scruffy does not. He has the same feelings about JP3 as he does for the Star Wars prequels.

Malcolm survived the first book
Not exactly:
quote:
Though he is declared dead at the end of the novel, in the sequel, he explains that the declaration was premature. Due to timely intervention by Costa Rican surgeons, he survives the ordeal, but ends up with a permanent leg injury, requiring a cane to walk.
It is what it is, but Jurassic Park is the only book I have ever read twice. I read it the first time in sixth grade, and didn't remember the ending that well. I read it again a few years ago, and had a WTF moment at the end.
