From Amazon.com

If you saw the 1995 film adaptation of this Crichton thriller, somebody owes you an apology. While you're waiting for that to happen, try reading the vastly more intelligent novel on which the movie was based. The broad lines of the plot remain the same: A research team deep in the jungle disappears after a mysterious and grisly gorilla attack. A subsequent team, including a sign-language-speaking simian named Amy, follows the original team's tracks only to be subjected to more mysterious and grisly gorilla attacks. If you can look past the breathless treatment of '80s technology, like voice-recognition software and 256K RAM modules (the book was written in 1980), you'll find the same smart use of science and edge-of-your-seat suspense shared by Crichton's other work. --Paul Hughes --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Another Reader Added to Michael Crichton's Fan List, Mai 28 2004
Par Gilbert Lam (California, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Congo (Mass Market Paperback)
Congo is another of Michael Crichton's wonderful masterpieces. It is a brilliant mixture of suspense, action, and unthinkable horrors. This book kept me busy, reading page after page, never wanting to stop. Michael Crichton's realistic jungle setting and descriptions greatly enhanced the feeling of suspense and thrill. At the climax in the book, my hands were sweating and my heart was thumping against my chest.

This book hurls readers deep into the depths of the Congo Jungle and the ruins of the Lost City of Zinj, where they came upon an ill fated field expedition. All the men were brutally killed and the camp destroyed in a matter of minutes. Back in Houston, the project directors watched the gruesome satellite transmission. In the midst of the ruined camp, they saw a dark, blurry, hulking figure prowling near the bodies. All the men had died the same way; their skulls were crushed. After minimal investigation, the company sent another expedition to the Congo Jungle, plunging the field expedition into the terrible unknowns of the Congo Jungle.

Congo is another must read for the books written by Michael Crichton. He has an extraordinary way of writing a book that draws people's attention. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy adventure stories. Many parts of the book take place in a eerie twilight setting where the surrounding jungle seems to be vibrant and mysterious. In addition, if you want an extra surge of thrill, read the book at night, alone, and in a quiet room.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Interesting Read, Mai 25 2004
Par Jeffrey Graff "ucfknight92" (Orlando, FL USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Congo (Mass Market Paperback)
Congo was the fourth Crichton book I've read (Rising Sun, Timeline, Disclosure) and although an interesting read I felt that the excitement level at the end of the novel (i.e. the last 100 pages) was lacking. The detail of primate studyies a found to be very captivating but I put the book down after the last page hoping for something more. However, all in all this was a good book and should serve as a nice, quick read.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Another Crichton Classic, Mai 10 2004
Par Allison (California, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Congo (Mass Market Paperback)
In _Congo_, an expedition team was found brutally murdered by a gorrila like animal. This was caught on a video transmission. Just before the creature breaks the video camera, it is caught on tape.

Taking no time, another expedition team is set out to get a special type of diamonds at the Lost City of Zinj. Karen Ross is put in charge of the expedition, along with with Peter Elliot and his "talking" gorilla Amy.

This is another page-turner by Crichton. I highly recommend this enthralling read.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Looking for some older Crichton to fill that need?
This is a good start. As many point out, the older technology is fun to come across periodically but I didn't find it distracting at all. Read more
