A review by altruest
Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar by Edgar Rice Burroughs

4.0

This book seemed much more action packed than the last, although not very consistent in its story. I did notice what I've seen in other reviews, Burroughs used lions a little too much in this story. I can see why these books are regarded as "pulp fiction", There really isn't any groundbreaking or masterful writing being done. It's mostly just action, cliffhanger, kidnapping, escape, repeated until the bad guy dies. Still, the cliffhangers are at least done well enough that you are left in suspense, instead of having to slog through unrelated happenings just to reach a conclusion you already know is going to happen. These Tarzan books are becoming something interesting to read between other novels.
