pulpmonkey66 's review for:
Tarzan of the Apes
by Edgar Rice Burroughs
I'm continuing to read/re-read a bunchy of Edgar Rice Burroughs books. I have read this story a couple of times and continue to be amazed by how good it is.
That said - I see ERB's typical confusing romance pattern. It is thankfully a small part of the book and is strangely unresolved in the novel. I'm also disturbed by the casual racism of the book. I realize this is from an earlier time, but the character of Esmarelda (while uncomfortably hilarious) is especially racist.
Overall, a classic novel and possibly one of the most famous pulps ever. ERB continues to be a wonder to me with his imagination at the dawn of the 20th century.
