DANG...As I read this book over the last few weeks, I remembered and recognizedandparts of it finally, including the ending and realized that I d read it before as a kid Evidently, I did so after reading part of it at a friend s house but had forgotten the title of what I d read there, and so came to think that episode involved a different book The re reading, after a lapse of nearly 50 years, was fresh and enjoyable once again in fact, it made me recall how much I enjoyed the As I read this book over the last few weeks, I re...The completion of the tale begun in Tarzan of the Apes New characters are introduced Tarzan finds a lost city, Opar, which may have been built by people from Atlantis before it sank Pulp adventure at its best.Tarzan, grieving his beloved Jane who will soon marry another, sets off to visit France Where of course he causes problems with Russian blackmailers, becomes a spy for the French government, and ends up back in Africa There s lots of fighting, lots of yelling, lost cities are rediscovered, gold is found, lions are killed with Tarzan s bare hands It s pretty much exactly what you would expect Although I was shocked by the cannibalism Like, white Europeans deciding to eat each other That was Tarzan, grieving his beloved Jane who will soon marry another, sets off to visit France Where of...I m pretty sure I gave Tarzan of the Apes 5 stars, so I have to give this one the same It s really one, 2 part book It is better in one way, much of Burroughs earlier seeming racism is gone Otherwise, it is just a continuation of ...3.5 stars This is a very uneven book The first half is just ok, and deals with Tarzan travelling around the world and getting into various scraps and scrapes The second half, on the other hand, is really great Tarzan returns to the jungle and has to deal with a lost city, an ancient civilization of beast men, and murderous pagan rituals The two halves are only connected by the fact that they include the same mustache twirling villain that keeps showing up and screwing around with Tarzan In 3.5 stars This is a very uneven book The first half is just ok, and deals with Tarzan travelling around the world and

revisit the real turning point in my life as a reader, the point at which I became a voracious reader I decided to re read the Tarzan books I d devoured as a teenager, to see if they still held up I re read the first book, Tarzan of the Apes, about an orphaned boy who grew up among the great apes, and was delighted to see that whatever maturity I had gained hadn t cost me the joy I d experienced in that first book of the long series For some reason, though, I About 25 years ago, I decided to revisit the real turning point in my life as a reader, the point at which I became a voracious reader

found the second volume of the Tarzan series to be just as good as the first, just as exciting, interesting and action packed Those who know me might say, Yeah, Justin, but that s because you re a little kid and you like this sort of thing Not so, folks Well, I do like this sort of thing and I don t often win awards for stoic maturity but Burroughs is no slouch Tarzan smokes cigarettes, drinks

historical point of view, to note what social attitudes were prevalent in 1913 when The Return Of Tarzan was published based on the book itself The attitude towards blacks is not especially flattering, though Burroug...Tarzan is simply a white SuperCaptainCoolMan That s all there is to it With sinewy arms of steel forged in the leafy shadows of the darkest jungles you get the picture The silliest theme in the book is Tarzan s de evolution from a gentleman in Paris to the ape man rampaging through the jungle with his primate brethren The not so subtle social Darwinism featured in all the Tarzan books is annoying if you can t get past the stupid ideas of previous generation...Sequels always get compared to the first in the series for evident reasons This is a case where the second book has almost nothing in common with the first so the issue isthat the genre seems to have switched and it feels less like a sequel andlike a separate story with the same character kind of I
