better than the reviews posted here

This is a pithy book. In some ways I like this better than the other, bigger book. It is less of a heavy read and seems to have more interesting facts. There ARE plenty of pictures (with captions---unlike the other Apes book!), none from the actual movie, but we've all seen it a 100 times anyway. These pictures are ones you haven't seen before. I didn't find the opinionated comments of the author distracting, I thought they were cogent.

A Great Planet of the Apes Book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a great book and I surgest that you buy it.There are some things that I dont like about it though.First of all I do recommend that you do not read this book from cover to cover because it gets really boring.I recommend you pick out the things you like first.If you do read from cover to cover its like reading jotted down notes on 178 pages.The thing that I hate about it though is chapter 9 does not say anything about Planet of the Apes.The book is after all pretty good though.It goes over the movies,the two TV shows,the books, and more.It is a good guild for good Planet of the Apes facts.I highly recommend you buy this book.Its great!!!!!!!!!!!!
