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

4.0

After recently seeing The Legend of Tarzan in theaters I had to read the book again. This is one of my favorites..

There are some descriptions of killing and fights natural to the wilds of Africa that are a little gross. Also, the author wholeheartedly believes in evolution and the phrases "primeval man" and "primeval forest" are used quite frequently.

That said, anyone who enjoys cast-away adventure stories will enjoy Tarzan's growth from an infant raised by wild animals to adulthood with the beginnings of becoming a civilized English gentleman.
