I have to disagree with you there, the first part of the book is rather tense, you as the reader understand the danger that the sabretooth(?) poses and it creates moments which draws you in to hoping and praying that the protagonist primate survives as he goes through mental and social evolutionary changes; compared to the movie it shows development of complex (for them) concepts where the movie really can't explain this other than "oh I have a bone, I can hit stuff now".

Fair enough, I had completely forgotten about that section really.
