3.0

It's not great literature, and it's not supposed to be. It's fast-paced, gives us <i>some</i> context and backstory for the characters that only a book can offer, and it's a good advertisement for the film (the only Monsterverse movie I haven't seen yet, oddly enough). King Kong is one of my favorite movie monsters, and this book (and presumably this movie) certainly did him justice.
