kargoforth 's review for:
Tarzan of the Apes
by Edgar Rice Burroughs
I had toyed with the idea to read Tarzan. Finally, being mostly confined to the house during the covid 19 epidemic, it seemed like a way to pass time. This book is entertaining and just a fun read.
For today’s pc environment, some may try to find offense with racial and social designations. That would be unnecessary. The fact is, Tarzan is constantly referred to as the ape man, himself identifying with beasts and the laws of the jungle, when the reader first meets him. Tarzan does not even realize he is a human and later believes he is half human half ape.
Reading of Tarzan’s physical feats and intellectual hunger and growth conjures images of this uncivilized being transforming himself without realizing it. Then, he experiences attraction, as he as never been around his kind, previously.
Enter: Jane.
The ending is satisfying but leaves the reader for the next novel in the series.
Recommendation? Do not consider reading Tarzan as beneath you. If you do so, you miss out on an adventure! Share it with the kids, friends, or just alone. Relax, Enjoy.
