Isaiah Randall - Reading journal week 9 lyrics

Congo by Michael Crichton Archaeologists unearthing an ancient ruin in the Congo are stalked by a previously undiscovered species of gorilla. A weak beginning is followed by a weaker middle and anyone who bothers to get to the end will find this the weakest part of all. With a severley restricted vocabulary Crighton tries to keep readers interested in a hackneyed plot but after a few chapters readers will feel as if they are marking a sixteen year-old's exam paper - and a poor one at that. This is one of the worst books I have ever read in my life and I can only imagine that it sold on the back of the success of Jura**ic Park. With a pathetic plot, characters from the pulp fiction writers' handbook and ludicrous gorillas this is a must read for all authors who want to know not how to write.
