Summary: A book
Review: First time I heard about the book kongo I thought its just another stupid book from michael chrichton but i was mistaken.In fact the book reminds on good old days we have to explore the world without any science or explore somthing new something that will pull down your pants and you would wish your mami was here. So the book as itself is very good but it has that litlle mistake.The red dot of the story is lost somewhere in the middle of the book.And the story is to shalow.But anway you can read it if you want to be tortured.

Summary: CONGO
Review: I found this book a very good book. The Congo was fairly easy to read except for the computer transmissions. I did not like to read the coputer transmissions because half the time I did not under stand what it said. It was a very suspenceful book. I thought that the book was a lot better than the movie. The book goes into a lot more detail. The first half of the book was rather boring though because it was just explaining everything in detail. Like the facts that lead to what is going to happen. The second half was suspenceful, it keeps you on you toes. This made me want to read more.

Summary: A pretty good book for the most part
Review: I thought this book was quite good except for the random rambligns-on of computer and satellite technology and other pointless matters. I thought the characters were for the most part interesting, although I didn't like the ending where Karen Ross goes somewhat insane. Other than that I thought they were pretty well written. I especially like Kahega, Munro, and definetly Amy. I think the book could have done better without the epilogue, which I found dimeaning to the characters and the end of the story although I like the part about Munro being accused of something by some agent and then the agent showing up dead, but thats mostly because I like Munro.

Summary: GREAT CRICHTON STORY!
Review: Don't let the movie fool you! This is a fabulous book full of adventure and love. Amy, the giant gorilla, is adorable. And the trip that the characters take into the Lost City of Zinj is awesome! You'll feel like you were really there. You fight the battles, you make the choices, you defend yourself, and then... well, I can't tell you everything that happens. But it's definetely worth a read, or two!

Summary: Wretched!
Review: I loved _The Andromeda Strain_, _The Terminal Man_ was great, but this! It's enough to make you wonder if we're talking about the same Michael Crichton.It wasn't the dated technology that put me off -- there was a time when I too thought 256K was a lot of RAM -- it was the... unthinkingness of the novel. F'rinstance: the satellite link has enough bandwidth for video, but not for voice -- an un-overlookable gaffe for a science-fiction writer. And later in the book our intrepid adventurers discover a mine-shaft in a cliff face with gem stones sticking out of the walls not ten feet from the entrance -- as if anyone would keep digging when he could just pluck the gems out of the dirt. Flubs like that stop a story cold. And *then* (SPOILER WARNING!) after all this hoo-haw, the monsters turn out to be gorillias who hit folks in the head with rocks. No, they don't throw the rocks with deadly accuracy; neither do they set up clever ambushes. They just walk up to people and bash them. And for all their space age, motion-sensing gatling-guns, our heroes just can't seem to deal with that. Spare me! Save your money, re-read _The Andromeda Strain._

Summary: Michael Crichton
Review: When I read words from Michael Crichton, I can visualize them all. I imagine visually the entire story. His stories are technical and flowing. This book is highly recommended. I won't bother to tell you about the book because you should read without knowing to make it more exciting. This book is for techincal thinkers who can visualize.

Summary: JUST ABOUT PERFECT
Review: I loved CONGO, very much. It is extreamly suspensful and well written. It is about a tour guide person named Munro, Karen Ross, from a compony called ETRS, and Peter Elliot, with the gorilla, Amy which he tought sign language going to the Congo to look for the lost city of Zinj where there are specific diamonds called type IIb diamonds. They discover a new type of gorilla on the way and could prevent a World War III with these diamonds. It is funny because of all the "top of the line" computer equiptment which they talk about (the book was written in 1980). But anyway, there is a part in the book where everything is lost. EVERYTHING! The team can't take credit for finding ANYTHING. The book got exiting again but I was so disappointed that I dropped the 5th star I was about the give the book. The end also kind of dropped short. You were stuck, you wanted to know more but you couldn't. Besides tese 2 problems, this is one of the best books I have ever read!

Summary: A great Read
Review: This is a great book and worth looking into do not judge it from the inferior movie. I got into reading all this authors works after I read Jurassic Park. I was very entertained by the story and it kept me on the edge of my seat!
