Year: 1980
Genre: Fiction
Grade: C
Reason for reading: pulled it off the TBR shelf (probably from a bookbox)
Blurb (from back cover): "Deep in the darkest region of the Congo, a field expedition dies mysteriously and brutally in a matter of minutes...
"At the Houston-based Earth Resources Technology Services, Inc., a shocked supervisor watches a gruesome video transmission of that illfated team-and sees the grainy, moving image of a dark, blurred shape...
"In San Francisco, an extraordinary gorilla named Amy, who has a 620 'sign' vocabulary, may hold the secret to that fierce carnage. Immediately, a new expedition is sent to the Congo, descending into a world where the only way out may be through the grisliest death..."
Opinion: Eh. I could have left it and I would have been fine. I haven't seen the movie and I have no plans on to. It will probably be a while until I pick up another Crichton book.
