This book is so far from any genre I would read, that I'm amazed that I picked it up. However, once starting, I was mesmerized by the author's writing and imagination. I could hardly put this down and finished it in less than 24-hours. Because I've watched the old movies, I knew that the stopping point of this book is not the end. There are actually twenty-four novels with Tarzan as the lead character.

The only thing I had a problem with was Tarzan's ability to learn English from picture books and a dictionary.It seemed impossible, but once I got past that, the story was smooth and erudite (the author was brilliant and well-versed in many scientific studies). I was stunned that I could enjoy a book like this.

A legend of a book and STILL one of the great ones. I just went through reading it for the 4th time. Every few years I love to go back into the jungle with Tarzan :).
The last time I read it I was inspired to go through all 24 of Tarzan novels in chronological order.
This book still holds up as a Fantastic adventure story for young and old alike !
