The beginning and Tarzan’s time with D'Arnot were the best parts. The main idea and thoughts behind Tarzan’s development were well thought through.

So the imperialism, colonialism, sexism, and racism of this book didn’t age very well.

I absolutely loved this book until the last paragraph. I’m raging mad about the ending.

I'm not gonna lie.. I went into this thinking about Disney Tarzan and I should have known better..

This book was way better than the movie (and I like that movie.) I was amazed at how much action and actual plot you can put into living int he jungle especially when there really isn't much dialogue going on for a while. The action was consistent and fit the story well. The ending made me mad. However, this is apparently a loooooong series and I think I will continue with it.

I was very pleasantly surprised.
