melissajeanine 's review for:

Congo by Michael Crichton

3.0

---

I didn’t hate it. But I didn’t love it. I liked aspects of it enough to give it three starts but the amount of tech talk brought it down. The technical jargon completely replaced the character development, plot and dialogue. I wasn’t connected to any of the characters and the exciting plot points were mere paragraphs long and preceded by pages of near textbook jargon.

I’m excited to read Jurassic Park and hopeful it’s better.
