Hail to Caesar,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (Mass Market Paperback)
Rise of the Planet of the Apes blew me away. It is by far my favorite film of the year, or many years for that matter. I am a huge movie tie in novelization addict, and since Conquest is sort of the Rise of the original film series, I had to track down a copy of the novelization.I have always enjoyed reading John Jakes. I first became aware of him at a young age when I read his Brak the Barbarian novels. Conan ripoffs to be sure, but I loved them at 12 or 13 and devoured them. Later on I read The Bastard, North and South, some of his SF, and even his early sleazy pulps. I liked them all. He has a terrific readable style, good tight descriptions, and a great sense of pacing. He would make a good screenwriter. Overall, one of the better novelizations I have read. I wish he had done a little better with the MacDonald character, but Jakes really captured the dark brooding Orwellian feel of the movie, and the action sequences are exciting.
