papi 's review for:

Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs

4.0

---

This was the first non-picture book I ever read, probably when I was about five years old. In my youth I think I must have read it a half dozen times, and though I haven't opened it in decades, I still remember it fondly. It started me on a journey of pondering about concepts like nobility, honor, loyalty, and so forth. Subsequently, I read many of the other Tarzan novels written by Edgar Rice Burroughs, and then most of the Martian Tales series he wrote ("Warlord of Mars," etc.), and numerous other stand alone novels (such as The Outlaw of Torn, another favorite). I would recommend these for any boy interested in fantasy fiction.
