Discuss About Books Tarzan of the Apes (Tarzan #1)

Tarzan of the Apes certainly has its issues, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this. Looking at it from a pure action/adventure point of view, you can see why it captured the minds of boys back in its time. I don't see myself rushing to read more Tarzan books, but I'm glad I read this one.

WHAT!!?? This was an excellent novel- better than I expected, even, and it end with a cliffhanger and a note to read the sequel to see what will happen next!? How disappointing! Thus, no 5 stars for you, Tarzan! How dare you, Mr. Burroughs! This would have been a great, encapsulated book and instead it spun out into this ridiculously LONG franchise, I know, but I still expected the FIRST book in the series to be its own complete story! GAH! How frustrating! In 1908 or whenever this came out, I

The problem with Tarzan is that it sucks. It's deeply silly, of course, adolescent wish fulfillment stuff, the plot makes no sense. But more than that, it's suuuuuper racist. Full of comments about values intrinsic to white people and black savages, and (somehow worse) the fat comic relief mammy Esmeralda, always rolling her big eyes and misusing words. It's way more racist than, for example, King Solomon's Mines, another book about white people in Africa, written 30 years previous in 1885. But

Okay. That old world British attitude is on display in this story. I learned he's a Mary Sue character.I grew up watching re-runs of the old Tarzan TV show at my grandparents house. I have watched the many various movies that have come along, and I must say, I think my favorite is the Disney version. So, I like the story of Tarzan and the archetype. I have never read the origin and original and I did enjoy it, but there are many problems with it. Tarzan is a Mary Sue character. I mean,

Silly to the point of being nonsensical: unabashedly and un-self-consciously racist - still, I enjoyed it when I first read it as a teen. Tarzan is a member of the British aristocracy who is raised by the great apes. Being an English aristocrat, he's much superior to all the animals of the jungle (of course!) and soon becomes the Lord of All He Surveys. This superman learns to read English without the help of anybody from childhood picture-books and soon learns to speak it also in record time.

This was very different from the movie versions of my childhood and even adult years but interesting and actually written quite well. The ending was rather disappointing and a cliffhanger which I guess served it's purpose in that I may now need to read the second book, which I had not intended doing. It was rather enjoyable all in all.
