Story3.5 out of 5 stars 19
In 1933, American showman Carl Denham returned from a mysterious, hidden island with a priceless treasure. A treasure not gold or jewels, but the island's barbaric god, a monstrous anthropoid called "Kong". The savage giant escaped and wreaked havoc among the man-made canyons of Manhattan, but within hours of the giant ape's death his body - and Carl Denham - disappeared.

As a child Chris Hooper dreamed of monsters. But in deep space, he found only darkness and isolation. Then, on planet LV178, he and his fellow miners discovered a storm-scoured, sand-blasted hell - and trimonite, the hardest material known to man. When a shuttle crashes into the mining ship Marion, the miners learn that there was more than trimonite deep in the caverns. There was evil, hibernating - and waiting for suitable prey.

Outstanding film expansion.
Would you listen to Merian C. Cooper's King Kong again? Why?
As a huge fan of the original film, I found this adaption of the script very well done. Any written adaption of a movie needs a great deal of filler to compensate for the lake of visual perspectives. This story gives great depth while still following the basic original film. A great addition for any 1933 King Kong fan.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Merian C. Cooper's King Kong?
All of the descriptive narrative through the fight sequences.
Which scene was your favorite?
Kong and the T-rex.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The film was excellently made in 1933 and needs no more shallow remakes.
Any additional comments?
Highly recommended.

Breakers Ahead!
What disappointed you about Merian C. Cooper's King Kong?
I expected a dramatization direct from the Lovelace novel. Instead, the audio book is something of a book and narration.
Would you be willing to try another book from Joe DeVito and Brad Strickland ? Why or why not?
Brad Strickland no worries. He's taken the helm for John Bellaire's delightful series of children's books. I don't know about Joe DeVito.
Would you be willing to try another one of David Baker and the Full Cast Family ’s performances?
No thanks.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment. The story from Merian Cooper is by far better than this. Read the book.
Any additional comments?
None.

Movie writing
This book was written for the movie screen in mind and does not translate well to being read as a stand alone book. It's so corny it's almost funny, but not quite. I listened to it all, but did not enjoy it. A poorly written story all told.
