Jurassic Park (Jurassic Park, #1)
by
"The movie is nothing more than the action scenes from the book. There is so much more to the story than that, particularly the mystery of how the dinosaurs are reproducing and getting off the island."

"For a made for TV movie, it was pretty good, but doesn't come close to capturing the characters or the horror of the novel. Pennywise the clown isn't quite so prominent in the book either; the monster is a much more versatile form of evil."

I Am Legend and Other Stories
by
"I think the script writer said "I think I read I Am Legend once about 20 years ago. It was about the last man on earth, and I think there was a dog." And then he wrote the script without referring back to the book.
