| Planet of the Apes / Pierre Boulle : 4 of 5 | |

 After seeing the so-so remake, I thought I should reread the original novel, since its so different from the plot of both movies of the same name. It's a great story, told in the first person of the "Taylor" character (who is French in the story), as he becomes a part of ape society over many years. However, that society has their own language and the technology for cars and airplanes (not just kooky looking caves and guns). The end of the book is a total Twilight Zone ending (much like the remake), but it doesn't take away from the clever, if slow moving, plot.
