Planet of the Apes

By: Pierre Boulle

Narrated by: Greg Wise

Greg Wise reads Pierre Boulle's chilling, iconic novel about a nightmare world where apes rule over men. In a spaceship that can travel at the speed of light, Ulysse, a journalist, sets off from Earth for the nearest solar system. He finds there a planet which resembles his own, except that on Soror humans behave like animals and are hunted by a civilised race of primates. Captured and sent to a research facility, Ulysse must convince the apes of their mutual origins. But such revelations have always been greeted by prejudice and fear...

The inspiration for several acclaimed cult films, Planet of the Apes is both a gripping, disturbing fable and a classic of science fiction.

Must read

I really enjoyed this one.
The ending had a twist and I couldn't help but be left in awe.
I hate there isn't any more like this on audible, other then the movie versions. hopefully soon as I came across some really interesting ones while at Barnes N nobles

Thrilling!

An incredible and gripping tale. A magical romp through the nature of man and beast. The Planet of the Apes is a social commentary on man, his beliefs, and his temporary place in the univerae.

Amazing!

I had no idea going into this novel that it would be so good! I love the sophistication the narrator as well. I would highly recommend this book. Especially if you don’t know how it ends. :)

love it

one of my all time favorites fro my childhood.so glad to listen to again and again

step aside Charleston Heston

Outstanding! This book is not the movie. It's ending is the best.
I was reluctant to read this book but I'm glad I did. I blew through it in one sitting.
