Edgar Rice Burroughs books, for me, are just about perfect. There is a reason why his books still have such great popularity to this dayI first started reading him as a child when I was about 6 or7 years old. It blew my mind then and continues to do so till this day. It opened up a world of adventure for me that fueled my ambitions to travel, my love of book reading, animals and plants. It introduced me to possibilities that I did not even know existed at the time like space travel (and boy does that age me or what), the possibility of time travel, aliens, life on different planets, the possibility of ancient civilizations existing and so on.This is the third book in the Tarzan series and concerns the kidnapping of Tarzan's son. The chase is on and Tarzan gets captured and abandoned on an island. What happens to him there and the fate and survival of his son is the topic of this book.New readers of ERB may consider this well dated as the plot twists may seem so familiar due to the fact that they will have encountered such writing twists from modern day writers. But this author was one of the primogenitures of this genre. Much like Arthur Conan Doyle created Sherlockian detectives, ERB created adventurers, 'wild men', anthropomorphic animals, and adventures you happily 'live' with all throughout your life.This is a great read that you will go back to over and over again as you read further books in the series.
One of the legendary ERB's best!When John Clayton's child gets kidnapped, he must call upon the wild beasts of the jungle to help him out to track down those who dare take one of his beloved family.Why, oh why, can't Hollywood make these classic hits into live action or animated films? Still hold up, and would make butt loads of cash!
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.
This is one of the series of the Tarzan books written by this prolific author. The book is written in an easily readable style, and makes enjoyable pleasant, light reading.The author is writing at the beginning of the 20th century, when much of the African continent was unknown. It is interesting to follow the workings of his mind, as he creates a series of interesting and unique civilizations for Tarzan and the reader to explore.As part of the format, one knows that our hero will find himself in mortal peril, but will predictably always escape, allowing us to look forward to the next book in the series.
A fun and exciting Tarzan adventure with a good deal of suspense and a sense of humor too. I loved the picture that Burroughs paints of Tarzan leading a group of wild animals on a sea voyage in which they do a perfect job of intimidating and humiliating the villains.
BEASTS OF TARZAN is an escapist's dream come true. There are so many adventures and cliff-hangers in it that you'll wish it would just go on and on and on. Villains abound. Lions, crocodiles, and savage tribes all try to best The Ape-Man. Fortunately, Tarzan gets much needed help, always just in the nick-of-time, from his small band of friends: Mugambi the chief of the Wagambi, Sheeta the leopard and Akut the king of the great apes on Jungle Island. Did I mention that Tarzan's bitterest foes are involved in the events that begin the story and cause our hero no end of worry? No? Well, if you are familiar with the first two books, you'll know instantly who I mean.Another rollicking adventure by Edgar Rice Burroughs set in the jungles of Darkest Africa. 5 Stars
Who knew the writing and story of these books by Burroughs would be so terrific? I read them for research and was blown away. Most fun I've had reading in awhile and the style of writing is excellent.
I got started reading Burroughs with his John Carter of Mars series. I shied away from Tarzan because I never was a big fan of the movie interpretations. When I finally got around to reading it I was amazed. I see why the Tarzan series was Burroughs most popular. You see concepts that could not be described on film. You feel as if you are there, in the adventures and they are marvelous adventures.While the book does stand on it's own, I recommend you read Tarzan of the Apes first.
