📖✨ In this episode of Book Watch, we head back to where the chaos all began—Jurassic Park. Michael Crichton’s sci-fi thriller first hit shelves in 1990, and just three years later, Steven Spielberg’s groundbreaking film roared into theaters in 1993. But why, decades later, is this franchise still spawning sequels?

We break it down with a deep dive into the characters that launched a cinematic empire. From John Hammond’s dangerously charming vision to Dr. Ian Malcolm’s iconic warnings, we compare the novel and the film’s character portrayals—what changed, what stayed, and what those choices say about the story’s lasting impact.

💡 In Part 1, we’ll explore:
✅ Character portrayals, casting choices, and differences between the book and movie
✅ How the film reimagined characters like John Hammond, Ellie Sattler, and Ian Malcolm
✅ Why these characters helped spark a franchise that’s still making movies today

Join Sarah-Daye and guest host Chris Hitlett as they dig into what makes Jurassic Park timeless—and why we’re still talking about it over 30 years later. 🎬📚
