A review by eleven_hummingbird
Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs
4.0
This is such a book of its time, which being 1912, is as much praise as it is condemnation.
I almost gave up on it about a third of the way through, but once the romance arc with Jane started it really won me over.
Not something I would recommend, but I really enjoyed elements of this. There are some wonderful adventures, full of heroism, tragedy, and romance, but there is also a lot of racism, imperialism, and sexism, amongst other distasteful elements.
If an Edwardian, romantic power-fantasy is of interest to you, despite all the baggage that entails, then great, else I would steer clear of this classic.
