Crichton’s novel Eaters of the Dead was inspired by Beowulf. “The challenge is in revitalizing the old forms,” he explains. Crichton taps out his books on an Olivetti word processor (price: $13,) and bombards readers with high-density scientific data and jargon, only some of which is real. “I did check on the rapids in the Congo,” he says. “They exist, but not where I put them.”. What Congo lacks foremost is strong characters. There are about a total of five characters worth mentioning, but none worth remembering. They are developed terribly and were all pawns to Crichton's informational mind. In some cases, this is all right and the story can survive. Congo. by.

CONGO. by Michael Crichton ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 12, Entertainer-educator Crichton, that clever devil, has done it again—by dressing up one of the oldest book/movie scenarios around with enough capsulized science, history, and geography to keep readers happily on their toes. It's an expedition to darkest Africa, to the northeast corner of the Congo rain forest in Zaire, in search of a lost city (Zinj) full of diamonds and danger. This book isn't as good as Jurassic Park but it's a good read nonetheless. The book focuses on a small group of people heading into the Congo to find a lost city that has rare diamonds in it. Something has protected the city from explorers for years. The group finds that a breed of gorillas protects the city.
