This reminded me of Doctor Who Target novelizations with how it adds just a bit to the movie you watch but follows the story beats very closely. Of course this does exclude the crazy ending where Davidson finds himself in Washington DC (Ape version). Both this novel and the movie lately are forgotten amidst the compelling performance by Andy Serkis in reboot round two but I think this reboot has the right amount of Camp and goofiness, as well as oddly scary apes with the non-cgi makeup used in the film. Regardless of the latest Apeverse content this novel stands as a great solo piece of the wider universe, a fun ride on its own.
