Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
If you saw the 1995 film adaptation of this Crichton thriller, somebody owes you an apology. While you're waiting for that to happen, try reading the vastly more intelligent novel on which the movie was based. The broad lines of the plot remain the same: A research team deep in the jungle disappears after a mysterious and grisly gorilla attack. A subsequent team, including a sign-language-speaking simian named Amy, follows the original team's tracks only to be subjected to more mysterious and grisly gorilla attacks. If you can look past the breathless treatment of 80s' technology, like voice-recognition software and 256K RAM modules (the book was written in 1980), you'll find the same smart use of science and edge-of-your-seat suspense shared by Crichton's other work. --Paul Hughes, Amazon.com

This novel kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time I read. Michael Crichton does a good job displaying realism in this realistic science fiction novel. He creates a story in the darkest region of the Congo, near the Lost City of Zinj,where an eight-person expedition dies brutally in a matter of seconds. At the home base back in Houston, supervisors watch a gruesome video transmission of the ill-fated team: dead bodies, tents crushed, and a blurred dark moving image. A new expedition is sent to the Congo. Some are in search for diamonds while a primatologist is taking his gorilla Amy, who knows sign language, back to her home in the Congo. During the expedition they encounter trouble with the native tribes and man-eating gorillas. Many people die and there is a lot of action in this thriller. Life threatening creatures and jungle weather creates a setting which makes this book so entertaining. This book can be compared to "Jurassic Park." Both display great action scenes and interesting stories by the same author. I recommend this book greatly if you are either a science-fiction or suspense thriller fan.

Once again I found the book to be better than the movie (although it gets close). A real page-turner. As usual Crichton gives you detailed insights into a world you didn't know before.

I loved CONGO, very much. It is extreamly suspensful and well written. It is about a tour guide person named Munro, Karen Ross, from a compony called ETRS, and Peter Elliot, with the gorilla, Amy which he tought sign language going to the Congo to look for the lost city of Zinj where there are specific diamonds called type IIb diamonds. They discover a new type of gorilla on the way and could prevent a World War III with these diamonds. It is funny because of all the "top of the line" computer equiptment which they talk about (the book was written in 1980). But anyway, there is a part in the book where everything is lost. EVERYTHING! The team can't take credit for finding ANYTHING. The book got exiting again but I was so disappointed that I dropped the 5th star I was about the give the book. The end also kind of dropped short. You were stuck, you wanted to know more but you couldn't. Besides tese 2 problems, this is one of the best books I have ever read!

Michael Crichton
When I read words from Michael Crichton, I can visualize them all. I imagine visually the entire story. His stories are technical and flowing. This book is highly recommended. Lesen Sie weiter...

Mmm...I devoured this book!
This is one of my favorite novels, and Crichton is a delightful author. He confirms this with Congo, Spehere, Eaters of the Dead, and so far Timeline. Lesen Sie weiter...
