The Son of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs
4.0
This is the 4th installment of the Tarzan series and was originally published as a 6-part serial in 1915-1916. I tend to be a Burroughs fan in general having read all of the Barsoom series, and the lesser know Venus series and Pellucidar series back in my teens. And now, as an old dude, I like to revisit his material from time to time. Of course I tend to read it with an eye towards forgiveness and overlook all of the amazing coincidences and plot contrivances the Burroughs employs. I think you have to read these books that way and just enjoy the adventure, or else don't even pick them up.
As for this novel, I think it is the best so far in the series. As the title implies, the focus here is on the younger Lord Greystoke (Jack) as he makes the transition to becoming a major character in the form of Korak, a younger version of Tarzan himself. It's easy to see that the book was published in 6 installments as there are definite and distinctive subplots that would work well in serial form.
A nice overall adventure story as long as you take it for what it is. I'll keep reading them.
Note: These books are free in e-book form as they are all in the public domain.
