I agree with that. Also, the sequel book was way better than the movie. I watched both movies before I read the books, and was still pissed off by the way they screwed up the movies. In the second book, the old man dies, not by getting eaten by a dinosaur or anything like that, but by a rather prosaic heartattack.
A movie they did a bang up job of converting from a book, also by the same author, was "Eaters of the Dead" into "13th Warrior". Very good job there.
