These are some glaring examples:

"He (John) didn't want to kill off all the dinosaurs, lose his investment, and be forced to start all over again. It might also be said that he felt a small compassion for his creations (which is why he screamed at Grant over the phone when he heard him shooting at the Raptors)."

Really? That's why he screamed? I thought it was obvious that he was extremely concerned for his grandchildren (hence the screaming). Prioritizing the dinosaurs over his grandchildren was more of a character trait in the book.

"When the T-Rex comes through the glass roof of the Ford Explorer in the first attack, the glass was not meant to break. Subsequently, some of the screams heard in the final cut are screams of genuine fear"

Fear of? I guess the animatronic could have done... something. I guess the initial shock might of surprised the two child actors, but I doubt they were in any real fear.

Any others?

To be fair, that animatronic would have weighed an absolute metric *beep* ton so yeah i know if it broke through the glass and i was underneath it i'd probably scream too...

The only fear would have been from the body doubles/ stunt actors not the actual children. Children would not have been put in that sort of danger during production of this scene.
