Tarzan rules the jungle again!
I started reading Edgar Rice Burroughs novels a few years back with the John Carter of Mars series. Loved those books and changed gears to Tarzan. Fell in love with the Tarzan novels then, and this book was no different. I love his characters, his writing style, and his imagination. Have since read several other Edgar Rice Burroughs stories and am consistently pleased and entertained with each story I read. Whenever I am wondering what book I should pick up next, I know I can always encounter a good choice with any Tarzan book or Edgar Rice Burroughs creation!

Great storytelling. I'm surprised I've not encountered many who are even familiar with the fact that there are about two dozen Tarzan books. Great storytelling. Thrilling. Killing. Blood-spilling. Also, uplifting. Tarzan confronts his noble Lord Graystoke self vs his animal instinctive youth. That tension makes the story more gripping. You'll be cheering for him and booing at his antagonists, Rokoff and Paulvitch. Easy and fun reads

Compelling but Racist
This is thrilling and interesting. Be warned: all the Tarzan series are very racist! You wouldn't know by the movies, but the books really highlight what people thought about other cultures during this time. I still gave it a good review because it's interesting to read these books and see what the values were during this time, plus it's a compelling, fast paced adventure book that is just good fun to read.

Victory for global ayhouo
Tarzan was always the best game I ever heard of. The most amazing thing I’ve seen. I hope you have a great time with me choosing. Tarzan abs Sheeta are the best gingerbread.

Too predictable
I like Tarzan books as an escape. I didn't mind the sequence of the gorillas fighting and Tarzan trying to make an alliance. He treats animals and people with dignity and respect until given a reason to do otherwise. Just knew the villains would be Rokoff and Paulivitch and they would wind up on a jungle island or continent. Tarzan was too easily fooled by his trusting nature and naivety. We can all be fooled but hopefully it would be on the 2nd or 3rd try in future books or more puzzles to solve.

Adventure Fun
Anything Edgar Rice Burroughs is fun and well written. Tarzan is no exception!

OLD FRIEND
WHEN I WAS IN JR HIGH SCHOOL STARTED READING THE BURROUGHS BOOKS BUT SOME OF THEM WERE CENSORED BY THE SCHOOL LIBRARIES BECAUSE THEY WERE QUESTIONABLE MORALS. I PURCHASED MY OWN COPIES IN PAPERBACK TO READ AN UNCENCORED COPY. I THEN REREAD THEM WHEN I FINISHED MY LUNCH AND WAITED FOR MY NEXT CLASS TO START. LIKE THE TITLE AN OLD FRIEND. WHEN HOMELESS HAD TO SELL ALL THE BOOKS SO NOW I AM TRYING TO REBUILD MY LIBRARY AGAIN.

I love this author
I love this author. His sense of adventure was way out there, but none the less fun to read. I have been a fan of his since I was a kid. He is a prolific writer, and one can tell the stories were originally serialized, but I have read most of his books and many of them multiple times. And the Tarzan books? Well, I have read the whole series and the first two books (he doesn't get Jane until the end of the second) I have read many times. So much fun and I recommend as good reading for teens of all ages!
