This is a novelization of the original King Kong screenplay from the 1930s. I decided to read it for two reasons: I wanted to revisit the King Kong story line without watching the movie and I was curious as to the literary level of a novelization from 70 years ago.

Book was actually written cohesively, with a little more attention paid to characterization than the movie tie-ins today. It was a quick, entertaining read.
