True, but I'd say Sphere had a much higher book-to-movie ratio (coolness of book/coolness of movie=high) than Jurassic.  The b-t-m ratio of The Lost World: Jurassic Park is also pretty high, the saving grace was the T-Rex rampage in San Diego.

By the way...Favorite film with a T-Rex rampage: The Lost World: Jurassic Park.  I have yet to confirm this, but it's rumored that a Japanese business man being chased by the rex says, "I moved here to get away from this!"

[Reply #36 on:]

Drt- let me rephrase
MY PERSONAL choice of Favorite Book that was Better than the movie as picked from a book I have actually read or finished reading: Jurassic Park

[Reply #37 on:]

I didn't mean to sound like I was disagreeing.  Quite the contrary, actually.  I ejoyed the book more than the film too.  I was merely expressing how disappointed I was with the Sphere movie in comparison to the book (same with Lost World).  Sort of a "good idea, let me try that"-type thing, not a personal attack or disagreement.
