A review by jersy
The Return of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs
3.0
I had long planned to pick up the second Tarzan book to see him adjust to civilisation, further develope his relationship with Jane and witness the struggles related to that. That's not really the content of this book, though. It's more action - adventure with hardly any interactions between the ape man and his love interest.
The story I got was still interesting: Tarzan, who had decided not to claim his heritage nor Jane, has various conflicts within the civilized world, takes an exciting job and ends up in the wild again. It's one wild adventure story, which sounds awesome for some but is not what I'm most interested in about Tarzan's story. I loved every bit about Jane's parts of the story, however, and there were some interesting characters in this novel.
How adjusted Tarzan is to the world seems to more influenced by plot convenience than making sense a lot of the time.
I don't think I'll continue the series since the concepts I'm interested in don't seem to be the focus. It would be interesting to see how Jane and Tarzan's marriage turns out, but I'm not much of an adventure book reader so I fear as the series continues I would get less and less out of it.
This was a fun book just not what I wanted and love to read.
