“It's almost obligatory to read this classic about the boy raised by apes. This is one of the first novels to reveal an ecological awareness, and to suggest that modern man may not be an improvement. To be fair, Burroughs is not kind towards primitive tribes either.”

“Though Tarzan is an iconic character, this book is too steeped in that era's ideas of Social Darwinism with lots of racist/sexist caricatures that's rather difficult to enjoy.”

“I can't say why I picked up Tarzan at my local library. Something was nagging at the back of my brain, telling me to read a classic for once. I think that's why I picked it up. I'm glad that I did.
