Congo by Michael Crichton
5.0

This books is on of my ultimate favorites that I’ve ever read. I’ve always been a fan of the movie Congo (1995) and have considered it a cult classic for years. The movie stays pretty true to the book but it changed a few things. The whole concept of the story is truly fascinating to read and the relationship between Amy and Elliot is heartwarming. The grey gorillas that were encountered was an interesting spin on the gorillas and they kept you questioning what they were going to do next. Munro is by far one of my favorite characters and his bluntness kept me entertained. Crichton does a great job of describing the African jungle to his readers and to me it felt like I was right there with the characters. Overall, I totally recommend this book and the movie it was based of off.
