It's funny, This book is both faithful and unfaithful at the same time, the events are different, there are things happening that don't happen in the movie, but it doesn't change the overall feel, and experience of the story and that's how the movie stays faithful because sure there is no scene where they have to row away from the T-Rex in an inflatable raft, the tension of the park going wild still persists.

I'm now convinced Tim only exists so Crichtoncan have a character to glaze over when they are discussing the details of cloning dinosaurs so Crichton doesn't have to fully explain how dinosaurs are made.
Also the movie version of the explanation of science scene is better.

I said it before but I really like in comparison to the movie how the books shows how much of a bad idea this has all been from the start before the dinos even break out, past examples of cloned animals are sickly and poor tempered, the hotel is built as a fortress, there are toxic plants next to the pool.
The book is not hiding how bad of an idea all of this is.

Compys ate a babies face.
I do like how the book starts, it's showing that the boat was leaking from the very beginning.
