If I remember correctly, Malcom did nothing but harp endlessly about how the park was doomed to failure due to various vague non-sequiturs.

All we know is that he predicted fence integrity would fail somehow. We don't know what else he predicted, maybe he just got that one right by chance. We don't know if Hammond changed the park after the paper to invalidate Malcom's reasons for predicting fence integrity failure; if he had done this, Malcom would be wrong despite having predicted fence integrity failure.

We sent people to the fucking Moon _and_ brought them back home. I'll be damned if humans can't solve Jurassic Park.

Malcolm was an author surrogate for the purpose of going on weird abstract rants which were mostly nonsensical even before they injected him full of morphine.

I vastly prefer reading books in general, but with Jurassic Park they really cleaned up a lot of rough edges in the movie. The kids are way less annoying too.

I read the book as kid after seeing the movie. I don't remember it so well, but one scene I liked in the book absent from the movie was the "compies" killing Dr. Hammond with narcotic bites.

Oh man, I really liked that one too. I couldn't find it with a quick search, but iirc they added that scene in one of the later movies (although maybe not with Hammond).
