A review by lynnevan
Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs

3.0

I read this book because it was chosen for our January book club read - each member takes a turn choosing which is a good thing because it makes me read things that I wouldn't normally choose. This is a case in point. I grew up watching Johnny Weissmuller swing through the trees on Saturday morning television, but had never even thought of reading the books. I'm really glad I did. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. The animalistic aspects of Tarzan of the Apes is much more realistic than the tame version of the movies; however, there comes a point where maybe the movie is more a bit more believable. Good, fun read though.
