Congo

It is always with a mix of sadness and excitement that I approach a book from Michael Crichton that I haven't read. The books are always superb and riveting but thinking that this wonderful author has gone too soon and, selfishly, that I have not that many of his books left to read, makes me a little sad. This story is fun, goes fast without slumping and makes you smarter and more aware. The technology described is of course outdated, but this only adds to the vintage appeal of this book.
