Every good boy deserves Tarzan

The Tarzan books are going on 100 years old, but good luck finding them in a library, which is a shame as reading a few Burroughs stories should be part of the rite of childhood for every boy. (Sorry, girls less so, although I always think La of Opar was far more deserving of Tarxan than Jane ever was) Not quite great literature (although I think that some come close) and definitely books of their time (some stereotypes will make you wince), but Tarzan himself, the Jungle boy-scout and badass alpha male is always compelling, the locales are always exciting, and the plots usually better than they need to be. I personally like Burroughs more on the SF side (Carter and Carson and their wonderful worlds of Mars and Venus) is force of nature that needs to be read, preferably before full adulthood.

the beasts of tarzan

this is another typical tarzan book. lots of mystery and suspense. lofs of colorful characters and the animals are wonderful!

A must read

This is as addictive as previous Tarzan's stories. In this one the archenemy of Tarzan finally gets his desserts. You have to read it!

ride or die

I like tarzan books. This one was great as well. Tarzan finally got to see some of his enemies die, which was satisfying for me. Also, I enjoyed the "lord of nature" aspect of the book. Anyone that can control a pack of apes and a panther is pretty cool. After I read this book, I just wanted to fight another animal to the death. After I killed it, I would stand above it with the blood running down my throat and scream like tarzan does. I recommend this book for any father who is worried his son might grow up to be weak. Once again, great book.

A classical Tarzan tale

Although this is not my favourite of the Tarzan books, it is definitely an excellent story. I just started to read about the adventures of Tarzan and can barely put the books down. Edgar Rice Burrougs is an amazing author. "The Beasts of Tarzan" is no exception.After Jane and their son Jack are kidnapped, Tarzan has to return to the jungle. Once more he has to rely on his wits and his above-human strength and physique to survive in the jungle. Making several new friend (not all of them human) he has to track down Jane, his son and the men who captured them."The Beasts of Tarzan" is an excellent adventure story and well worth the read.

Tarzan Rocks

This was an excellent play on words. I really enjoyed the concept of this book. I have always wanted to live in the jungle, and swing with monkeys.I can't wait for the sequal.
