In the movie, anybody whose seen it knows that Donald becomes a T-Rex snack. In the book though I believe its different. I think in the book Donald gets his leg chewed off but he lives so in the book he survives.
shareIn the novel, Gennaro ends up surviving all the way to the end without losing any extremity.

It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing .
Donald survives in the book and leaves the island on a chopper with the other survivors, but at the start of The Lost World it says something about him dying in between the events of the first and second books from disease or something.
shareThe actual character in the movie is basically the character from the book named Ed Regis. But for some reason they changed his name to the name of another character in the book. Also the character Donald Genarro in the book is much younger than the guy in the movie. He's only in his late 20s. He also is mentioned as having a wife and a daughter. It's mainly that the personality of the character and how he acts is more like the character Ed Regis in the book. Ed Regis is also the one who rode with the kids on the tour in the book and just like the character in the movie runs away from them when he sees the T-Rex. Unlike the movie he is actually eaten by a Juvenile T-Rex which had just been born only months before Grant, Saddler, Malcolm, and Genarro are called to the island.

Actually Gennaro in the movie is merged with both Gennaro and Ed Regis in the novel as speilberg wanted to cut the number of characters but also use some of their character traits. I believe some traits from Regis were also merged with Grant in the film.
