"Nice quick read to take your mind off work. Liked both the book and movie individually."

"This book was very different than the movie, but both are equally good. I missed Tim Curry's character and I like the movie Monroe better. I like the science in the book and the goal Peter has with Amy and the killer apes better in the book. I like the explanation of why that the book provides."
"Amy the gorilla makes the whole story"
