About this listen

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.

the planet of the movies, the new ones that came in the last decade were really well made. I have not watched the other earlier movies though.

nevertheless, was always curious about the original novel. luckily, it was included in the audible subscription. decided to just go for it. it's a very short book. The setting and the language reminded me of another book, I am Legend. that was also very satisfying and thought provoking. same with this book.

it's extremely short, and can be listened to on a single day. the narrator does an amazing job. an amazing book for any sci-fi and space travel reader.

grand and thought provoking scifi

Great book, short and entertaining. Doesn’t feel old at all. Quite smart writing despite being kept simple.

Great narration too.

I want to listen to subsequent parts too now, but they are not in audible format.

Very very good, would be amazing if you haven’t seen the movies
