Deep in the African rain forest, near the legendary ruins of the Lost City of Zinj, an expedition of eight American geologists are mysteriously and brutally killed in a matter of minutes.

Ten thousand miles away, Karen Ross, the Congo Project Supervisor, watches a gruesome video transmission of the aftermath: a camp destroyed, tents crushed and torn, equipment scattered in the mud alongside dead bodies - all motionless except for one moving image - a grainy, dark, man-shaped blur.

In San Francisco, primatologist Peter Elliot works with Amy, a gorilla with an extraordinary vocabulary of 620 "signs," the most ever learned by a primate, and she likes to finger paint. But recently her behavior has been erratic and her drawings match, with stunning accuracy, the brittle pages of a Portuguese print dating back to 1642…a drawing of an ancient lost city. A new expedition - along with Amy - is sent into the Congo, where they enter a secret world, and the only way out may be through a horrifying death.....

Congo was adapted to the screen and directed by Frank Marshall.

Being a movie-buff, I love reading the books a movie is based on, if it is based on one. Being utterly fond of the creature-feature and horror genres, Congo was a movie I loved, and was eager since to read the novel. Whilst the movie did add further plots to the already existing one, the book did not disappoint me at all... both in story telling and narration.

If you are a Michael Crichton fan, and have not yet given 'Congo' a go, who's stopping you from giving it a listen. :))

Loved the Book But the Movie Added More!
