With the shift in Malcolm’s character, the book’s voice of caution becomes Thorne, who designs the high-tech trailers, and we also see the scares and wonders of the island through Thorne’s young assistant, Eddie, and Levine’s teenage student stowaways, Arby and Kelly. When Sarah comes along, it’s actually to rescue Ian (a reverse of the movie), and she observes dinos as a bonus feature of the mission (whereas in the movie, she goes to the island specifically to observe the dinos). In the first book, Malcolm sees chaos theory unfolding before his eyes and wants to escape here, he wants to closely observe the dinosaurs and see how their behavior relates to his theories.

Whereas the “Jurassic Park” movie is very faithful to the book, I can’t think of a movie that’s a less faithful adaptation than “The Lost World.” If you’ve only seen the movie, you don’t know the story from Crichton’s book. In fact, enough of Crichton’s material was left over that “Jurassic Park III” (2001) used some of it, namely the concept of a rescue mission, and the raptor nest and egg theft.

Indeed, Spielberg and screenwriter David Koepp had different ideas for their version of “The Lost World,” as the only carryovers from book to film are: Setting: Isla Sorna, off Pacific coast of Central America
