A review by rmm396
Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs

5.0

Is it corny? Yes. Is it a little racist? Yes. Did I love the book? Yes. Anyone who loved Disney's Tarzan as a kid would love this book, just keep in mind that it's over 100 years old and the values, gender roles, and world perspective are different than the modern day. A lot of people complain that this book isn't realistic, that a lot of credit is given to Tarzan because of his "superior race", refering to him being homosapien instead of ape, such as learning to read using books left behind by other humans. Well damn Karen, it's a fantasy adventure book, nothing is realistic. The book is very entertaining and shouldn't be treated as a real situation if a baby abandoned in the jungle. Just enjoy the story of an absolute Chad with a good heart.
