King Kong (Delos W. Lovelace)

[****]

During a busy time, I managed to squeeze in a read of the original novelization of the original King Kong movie. The main attribution is to Delos W. Lovelace, but apparently there was ample input from Merian C. Cooper and Edgar Wallace. Very fun. A few extra details and slight divergence from the film, but good to read. The best parts, though, were the Preface by Mark Cotta Vaz and the Introduction by Greg Bear. It made me go out and get Mark's book about Cooper, which I review later.
