Publisher's Summary
Greg Wise reads Pierre Boulle's chilling, iconic novel about a nightmare world where apes rule over men. In a spaceship that can travel at the speed of light, Ulysse, a journalist, sets off from Earth for the nearest solar system. He finds there a planet which resembles his own, except that on Soror humans behave like animals and are hunted by a civilised race of primates. Captured and sent to a research facility, Ulysse must convince the apes of their mutual origins. But such revelations have always been greeted by prejudice and fear...
The inspiration for several acclaimed cult films, Planet of the Apes is both a gripping, disturbing fable and a classic of science fiction.

A thought provoking read
Interesting story and always fascinating to see a 60’s writer’s depiction of the future. The book has left me pondering modern connections related to machine learning vs AI and questioning who the advanced species really is.

Wonderful
I grew up with the original movies and listening to this audio book was a joy. The narrator was good and the story is fantastic.

wish they did like this in the movie
having watched the Charlton Heston classic so many times it was nice to see where the source material came from. in many ways the movie holds to the book, but there are quite a few parts that should have made it over to the movie but sadly didn't. that being said I'm now going to watch the 68 classic and see what I've forgotten

Much better than the movie.
The story was completely different than the movie. A much better story and no corny Carlton Heston.

worth the listen
Great sci-fi. Good ideas and readable prose. Despite all the movies, it still has surprises.

A must read for fans of the movies
As a fan of the 1968 movie, I was surprised by how good this version was. This has the best ending of any of the movies, in my opinion.
