Congo by Michael Crichton

4.0

Michael Crichton is really good at making tough scientific concepts both digestable and intriguing. He's also really good at writing suspense. 2 + 2 = 4. As in stars. :) My only reservation is that his characters are a little wooden on the page. They serve the plot, but they feel passive and disingenuous.
