I was born in 1958, so I was probably ten years old when I was taken to the cinema by my father to see the first Planet of the Apes film. I remember that it made a big impression on me at the time; particularly the twist at the end. I'm not sure why its taken me so long to read the original book, but I'm glad I eventually did! Yes, there are differences between the book and the film but not great ones, and it is clear that this one book also inspired the film sequels. It was refreshing to see that the author had some scientific knowledge and used it to good effect. As a scientist myself, it irritates me, reading, or watching, science fiction which is literally pure fiction, totally ignoring well established scientific facts and presenting scenarios which cannot happen. Yes, there is a place for this kind of writing, it's called fantasy.If you are a fan of the films, I strongly recommend this book.

It's a classic, and doesn't disappoint. Well worth adding to your sci-fi collection.

The book is very dated but I love the films - old and new - and it was interesting to read the story that inspired them.

Had it years ago

Sci-Fi classic, would recommend
