Tarzan of the Apes: The Adventures of Lord Greystoke by Edgar Rice Burroughs

4.0

books #8 & 9 of 2021: Tarzan of the Apes and The Return of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs (pub. 1912, 1913) so, granted, there’s a quite healthy amount of: racism, sexism, classism, culturism, even speciesism, but...if you can look past all that (these were written over 100 years ago) - and reading the bible several times prepared me to do just that, then you are in for seriously edge of your seat, funny and fun, skilled storytelling. I really needed some adventure and man, did I get it. I guess I’ve finally found my kind of genre fiction, a bit reminiscent of the bad action films I quietly adore (though the writing in these is actually quite good - more books that make me convinced I don’t need to write). 4/5. and now for something completely different....
