laughinglibra84 's review for:
Congo
by Michael Crichton
I watched the Jurassic Park (1993) and Congo (1995) films as a kid. I enjoyed these films based on Michael Crichton's stories. To actually have the whole story is so much more satisfying and complete. There is a lot more tech talk and more presence of the foreign competitors in the story. You'd think that since the book was published in 1980 that the tech talk wouldn't go in one ear and out the other, but some of it did go into detail that I skimmed over.
If you've seen the film: It is exciting to go through the story again. I sort of forgot how each conflict was solved as I arrived at scenes I remembered from the film. The biggest highlight was to see Amy the gorilla return to her roots of Congo Africa. At least, if no one found any diamonds, Amy's experience could lead to a better understanding of gorillas and animals returning home after confinement. Next, I'm reading Jurassic Park and maybe the Lost World after that.
