The apes can drive and fly planes in this civilized soceity. A reporter who is on assignment with his astronaut buddies ends up on this strange planet. He can only speak French, which the apes beleive to be nothing but chibberish. He has to learn the apes' alnguage and teach it to a chimpanzee scientist. Parts of the book are alittle far fetched like how would a reporter be able to reconstruct the broken space ship. The ending is surprising and funny at the same time. This is a great work of science fiction.
