dknippling 's review for:

Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs
3.0

Tarzan man, Tarzan man, doing the things that a Tarzan can, really racist and kinda sexist, Tarzan man...

Had to be done. The writing is catchy and well done. Something that I couldn't avoid was that in order for Tarzan to function as Tarzan, everyone else has to be too stupid to live, and Tarzan has to things both physically and mentally impossible--like learning how to read English when he has no huamn-level language skills, and a prticular moment when he uses brute strength to kill a great ape. Uh-huh.
