cozycaterpillar 's review for:
Congo
by Michael Crichton
A low 3.
The best part of this book was when it talks about animals and human relations. When the group finally gets to the lost city it's great, but it's almost a slog taking the journey to get there. This book has an interesting formula where it would talk about something significant in the present and then have chapters of information to talk about the scientific and historical context of that small bit of information. In a way, the story felt like one step forward three steps back. It also doesn't help that the human characters in this book were portrayed with some racist descriptions.
I'm not sure if I would whole heartily recommend this to someone, but I also feel that I would re-read it for the lost city part itself.
