Customer Reviews
So freaking good!
This book was GREAT! Besides the (problematic by modern standards) depictions of African Americans and the native tribespeople, this book was a fantastic read! Sure there is pretty obvious sexism but you really have to understand that this was written over 100 years ago when people had a different idea of the world.

Wonderful adventurous love story.
Tarzan of the Apes
Brilliant book, Hollywood got the story all wrong. Did Edgar Rice Burroughs ever go to Africa? I do not know. The action of the savages/cannibalism, torture, etc read as very real, but what experience did Burroughs base this on? Highly recommended to read, forget what you saw in the movies!
