I watched Congo as a child and to this day think it is the scariest movie I've ever seen. I refuse to watch it. So I decided to read the book as a small way of facing my fears. While I don't remember much about the movie, the two were different (and I feel what mainly scared me in the movie wasn't as scary in the book). However, the book was enjoyable and would be great for anyone who likes science fiction.
