À propos de cet audio

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.

I enjoyed it. Maybe a little too much history lessons for me. The story itself was exciting and interesting though.

Not bad, not great

Michael Crighton always knows how to implement facts into his novels, I love that I feel like I'm learning while I listen to it. The Narrator did a great job too.

good read

Hard to listen to. Voice acting just brings you out of it. I recommend you preview. Just read the book.

Good sorry, terrible narration

A fast paced adventure, 1/2 2d characters 1/2 technical info dumps. Yum! If you liked his other stuff, you'll like this Golden Oldie.

yup, it's a Michael Crichton classic

I loved the setup and as usual the writing style and trivia mixed in with fiction and embellishments make a potent mix. But there are one or two too many things going on here. It all becomes too much once the team reaches their destination and the individual hooks all seem a bit flat on their own and are thematically unconnected. It’s hard to explain what I mean without spoilers, but let’s just say this one needed a little more time in the oven.

Good ideas that don’t always blend well
