Congo by Michael Crichton
3.5
adventurous challenging dark tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: N/A
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Not one of Crichton’s best, but still an enjoyable read. 
I found that the story was often interrupted to give the reader important facts for understanding the narrative and some plot points, but it could be distracting to the flow and intensity of the read. 
Again, still a good read despite the above, which was my only real qualm. The concept of the book was quite interesting
