Product Description

 
An anthropological expedition disappears in the middle of the Congo, leaving behind a video tape that shows dark figures bearing down on them before fading to nothingness. A member of the home team travels to Africa to investigate, accompanied by a group of scientists who have trained a gorilla named Amy to communicate with humans. "Congo" was the basis for the 1995 film by the same name.

Congo: Michael Crichton Goes Ape

Date of Review:  Apr 2, 2002
The Bottom Line: Pretty dull story with a bad ending.
Review: The English school at which I work has a library of books that others have left behind. Since the books were not purchased systematically or with particular purpose, often some former employee's favorite author is heavily represented. Thus is the...

Serious Monkey Business

Date of Review:  Oct 1, 2004
The Bottom Line: Unless you're already read and enjoyed Crichton's novels, I can't possibly recommend Congo to you.
Review: Congo by Michael Crichton inspired what many believe to be one of the worst films of all time. I can't comment on that as I haven't seen it. But how does the book fare?

I've liked movies based on Crichton novels (particularly The...

Disturbing Truths

Date of Review:  Dec 4, 2001
The Bottom Line: Would you step into a jungle after reading this book?
Review: I am drawn to this book. I've had it in my possession since late 1995, or early 1996- I know that it was just months before I graduated from high school, but am unsure of the date. It was around that time that I went on a Michael Crichton reading...

Michael Crichton's Congo
4/5 stars
Though the movie was awful, the book version of Michael Crichton's Congo was pretty good. It centers around a group of scientists attempting to locate the lost city of Zinj. Check out this book - it's pretty good.
