Summary: Decent reference
Comment: I enjoyed this book: the summaries of the Apes media, information on the previous versions and possible alternate versions of the original Apes films, background info on the remake, and the timeline (bringing it all together) were all interesting. I suspect, however, that someone who isn't a casual Apes fan like myself might be disappointed, as I'm sure similar info could be had on the web.

Summary: A MISSED OPPORTUNITY
Comment: I was somewhat disappointed with this book. The book had alot of potential but fell flat. First of all, the book had no introduction which was necessary to explain how the subject matter was obtained, how the book would approach the subject, etc. The book was also not organized well. The book was basically old articles the author dug up with the author interjecting his thoughts in various chapters. There were some inaccuracies in the book, also. For example, the author refers to General Urko from the T.V. series as Ursus (p. 125). One of my biggest complaints was the author's denouncement of Charlton Heston due to Mr. Heston's being President of the NRA. The author mentions the Columbine shooting (p. 92) and the apes being hypocritical about the human's propensity for violence due to the apes "possession of firearms" (p. 127). The author's ignorance of the United States Constitution and disdain for firearms has no place in a book about The Planet of the Apes. (GIVE ME A BREAK!) It was interesting to read old articles about The Planet of the Apes but one could have acheived this on ones own with a little effort.
