MBybee reviewed Congo by Michael Crichton
Very good novel
4 stars
An excellent read that probably would have aged better without the obsession for over-describing near future tech in 1979. The racist boss could handle being edited. I really liked the movie, and like most Crichton novels, the movie and book managed to both be really good.
Some bits (racism, tech) aged poorly but the majority held up, so it gets to keep a pretty solid rating.
