I like Michael Crichton books on the whole, and was always under the impression that his earlier works were better than his late stuff, which became more and more issue-bound and prosaic. Not so. Congo is the very definition of prosaic, as its plot and characters provide a barely coherent frame on which to hang lengthy expositions on satellite communications technology in particular, IT in general, and of course gorillas. And given that Crichton wrote this in the 1970s, it's seriously dated. Not recommended. (  ) mrtall | Mar 17, 2010 |  Ce livre de science fiction écrit par Michael Crichton est doté d'un grand réalisme et sait tenir en haleine le lecteur et cela tout le long du livre. Ce livre a un contexte réel, (guerre au Congo, technologie, langage militaire) qui nous fait découvrir une "épopée" a travers la jungle encore inexplorée du Congo, de ses dangers et de ses merveilles... Une personnification est obligatoire vu son nombre de personnage qui a eux seul sont un micro concentré de la gente humaine. Partez à la recherche de la citée perdu de Zinj et de ses diamants que l'on ramasse à la pelle. Entrez dans un monde fantastique et perdez vous dans cette lecture aussi passionnante qu'intéressante. (  ) boullenger | Mar 10, 2010 | Congo was one of the first Michael Crichton books I read. I remember thinking - Killer monkeys are cool. Congo was much more than cool killer monkeys though. Evolution, nature vs. nurture, animal intelligence and rampant greed are all important themes covered in the novel. Don't let the movie deter you. Congo is a highly entertaining read bursting with the authentic science Crichton was always known for. ( ) JennSicu | Dec 12, 2009 | Crichton is usually fun, but this is one of his weaker efforts. ( ) woodge | Nov 20, 2009 | I'm almost tempted to call this "Jurassic Park, with monkeys." But it's too good to mock. Crichton's writing is never tighter or cleaner than in Congo. Like always, he shows his unparalleled ability to demonstrate just how powerful, wise, intelligent and yet also silly our science really is.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0060541830, Mass Market Paperback)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(extraído de Amazon Tue, 05 Jan 2010 12:07:22 -0500) La primera ronda de prueba se ha cerrado.
