 Planet of the Apes (Monkey Planet) - Pierre Boulle
Pierre Boulle's Planet of the Apes (first published as Monkey Planet) is the basis of two films (and several sequels) and a TV series, and the book is completely overshadowed by these.
Occasionally, Boulle moralises too obviously, veering towards animal liberation pontification (the problem here being not the message but the artless presentation), but this reversed world is intriguing enough to hold the reader's attention.
Boulle simplifies a few too many ideas in the book, but the action is still compelling, and the basic idea an excellent one.

 Salon.com Books | Lost in translation
I recently heard a radio interview with the biographer of Pierre Boulle, the French author who wrote the novel that was the basis for the "Planet of the Ape" films.
Ironically, Boulle, who originally thought the whole thing up, is given no credit on the novelization, perhaps because there is so much room taken up listing the three screenwriters for Tim Burton's film.
I just hope that Boulle's descendants held onto the rights to turn his novel into another novel and are getting a piece of the action.
