I thought Jurassic Park was a much better book than movie, but I still enjoyed the movie thoroughly.
I thought the whole idea of it being an HBO series instead of a series of movies or whatever was so that there was enough time to make it as much like the books as possible. Also seems like making or trying to make each season equal one book was the wrong idea. Of course I haven't even watched an episode of the show and I might never.
