Summary: KONG WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD
Comment: Nothing is as interesting to me as human behavior, and it was a pleasant surprise to find that Mr. Greene feels somewhat the same. He's taken a great deal of time to break down and analyze this concept of race relations in the "Ape" films. I found his writing to be witty and revealing. An easy and enjoyable read about a difficult and confounding element of our society.
At 17, when I saw PLANET, we were constantly aware of racial issues around us, and in the news. It's been an important film series to me, and it's message remains powerful. It's wonderful to have Mr. Greene's book as an addition or companion to the 'Ape' films. I am looking forward to see what Mr. Greene will come up with when Tim Burton's version is released.
Politics and popular culture are handled in this book with an adept feel for the times the films were made. I wish the text books I read in college were as "hip" as what Mr. Greene has laid before us. I might have remembered more. I found his observations at times humorous and provocative...but always interesting. Well done.

Summary: FANTASTIC and EYE-OPENING
Comment: It's all too rare that I come across a book like this -- one that is profound and intelligent about popular culture. Greene makes you think about the Apes films in whole new ways, but unlike a lot of social analysis of movies doesn't overreach. This book is already in the library of most die-hard Apes fans, but it should also be read by students of film in general and in fact anoyone wanting to hear a fresh, original and intelligent thinker about popular culture and social issues.
