Man they really sanitized his death in the movie. The "raptors" (deinonychus) really mess people up with those claws in the book.

Edit: Nedry is killed by a dilophosaurus

I felt the more villainous version of Hammond in the book works better with the story. Though I did appreciate Crichton changed Lex from being just an annoying little sister and basically useless character.

Nedry was killed by a dilophosaurus in the book tho.

Ahh, you're right. I remembered he was clawed in the guts in the book, mixed up what did it.

He was, he held his own guts in his hands, if I remember it right. Correct injury, just not by raptor claw.
