Title: Planet of the Apes-an unofficial companion
Review: Overall, I enjoyed this book. I could not put it down although I have a few problems with it. The information was interesting for Apes fans but the author put too many of his opinions on what he felt was good or not good about the movie series. Just report and we'll decide. I particularly disagreed with his harsh criticism of James Franciscus as Brent in "Beneath". Also, a few inaccuracies:P.114-The Cheinco wastepaper basket has Aldo on it, not just a Gorilla Soldier. P.120-The new Apes cards are by Inkworks Card Co., not Rainbow Card Co.. P.151-Lew Ayres played Mandemus on "Battle", not "Beneath". My biggest complaint was chapter nine about other movies/t.v. shows with primates in them. WHO CARES! Having said all that, I am somewhat pleased I bought the book and (with some hesitation) recommend it to Apes fans as the "Cliff Notes" to the superior "Planet of theapes Revisited" book.
