Good For The Kids

This book was written for kids who enjoyed the remake of Planet of the Apes. Grown-ups will probably not enjoy it but it was not intended for grown-ups. The book is a nice effort for the kids. The mediocre script for the movie did not leave the author of the book with much to work with. It is nice to see that a new generation of Apes has begun and I welcome the effort of the author.

A beautifull Collector's piece.

This is a beautifull book about the 2001 version of Planet of the Apes directed by Tim Burton. It is varied, with lots articles on many aspects of the film and richly illustrated througout with incredible film and "behind the camera" images. Additionally you will find the complete screenplay with related photos. All those elements combined make it an excpetional piece of film memorabilia.Overall, this book does a great service to a movie that continues the great myth of "Planet of the Apes".
