Reviews

[Jeff Correll · Rating 3 out of 5]

My rating is closer to 3.5 stars. The book was a fun, fast read.

[David Allen · Rating 2 out of 5]

For a novelization of a Saturday morning cartoon series spun off from a series of movies, this was okay.

[John Peel · Rating 2 out of 5]

A rather uneven novelization of three episodes from the animated series (though with a cover photo from the live-action show!). It starts off very leisurely and then gallops at the end as the writer seems to have realized he was exceeding his allotted word count. You really have to be an Apes fan to try this one.

[Alex MacKenzie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Three episodes of the animated series: Tunnel of Fear, Lagoon of Peril and Terror on Ice Mountain. Written in one long narrative. General Urko is again the primary Ape antagonist.
