    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.

    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!

    Read all of the Tarzan series and John Carter of Mars when I was around 8 years of age. I enjoyed them immensely then and now 72years later, I have the same enjoyment.

    It isn't the deepest of stories by any means but it is enough to keep you interested. There are a few pages that have the top line cut off but it's not enough pages or words to hinder your understanding of the book at all. A good read even just to have something to compare the Disney movie with.
  • Loved it!
