France - Planet of the Apes - Pierre Boulle

This was kind of weird, i'm a huge fan of the original films, even though they did get kind of weird. I also really enjoyed the rebooted films too. I never even thought about the book that the films were based on. It was when I was researching books for my Sci-Fi from around the world project that someone suggested this book from a French author. I had no idea this was a book, and now I realise it's written by a French author. I ordered a copy straight away. 

Annoyingly I had read a review about the twist at the end of the book not being the same as the film. So i was reading the last half of the book trying to predict the twist, luckily I was unsuccessful and had a nice surprise at the end. The book was really enjoyable and was great to go back and read the book that spawned so many films and generated such a cult following.
