I agree, usually this isn't the case. IMO the other example of this is with Jurassic Park.

I recently read Jurassic Park for the first time and I thought the same thing. The movie provided a more engaging plot, had more emotional punch, and developed stronger characterization. Going back and reading Chrichton's work has been a rewarding exercise to me as a budding writer. He had some great ideas but also surprisingly had a lot of flaws in his work.

The best part of the book was making Hammond the villain, that should have been kept.
