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

adventurous medium-paced

2.0

I've been meaning to read this for a while, as I didn't really know anything about it. It was alright. On the downside was the extraordinarily blatant racism, and the sheer stupidity of Jane deciding, when the lioness tries to come through her window, to shoot herself instead of the lion. On the other hand, the pacing is excellent - really, it's the best thing about the book. Given the constant drooling depictions of Tarzan's beauty and manliness, however, I can't decide who is more in love with him: Burroughs or Jane.

I do think that if Burroughs were writing today, it'd be were-apes and paranormal romance, though.
