From AudioFile:
A hulking freighter heads for a foreboding uncharted island. An over-the-top movie producer looks for the next big thing. And a gorgeous girl from the tough side of town wins over the big ape with a heart of gold. Sound familiar? It's KING KONG, one of the most iconic and most American adventure stories of all time. The authors drew from Merian C. Cooper's original 1932 story to write this expanded novelization. Behind David Baker's rock-solid narration, Bruce Coville's Full Cast Audio stays true to the period language and dramatic pacing in this dramatization. Yes, it was beauty that killed the beast. A family-friendly production. B.P. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
