Steve made some good points, but even Jurassic Park could have been so much
better than it was.  I personally felt the Jurassic Park book was fantastic,
had great character development and flowed very nicely.  The movie version,
while enjoyable at times (especially for the kids), paled in comparison to
the book and was a tremendous disappointment for me.

I agree that JPtB was much better than JPtM, but JPtM fulfilled my two
requirements for cinematic versions of novels:

1. It didn't suck (99% of movies-from-books do suck).
2. It didn't go 180-degrees away from the book.
