I picked up the first Tarzan novel from a book exchange. I was not sure what to expect from it, having only been exposed to screen versions of the Lord of the Apes in the past. It turned out to be immensely enjoyable and when I found the second, third and fourth books in a Thai bookshop I snapped them up.

These stories are excellent for young people who enjoy imagination, and the fictional secrets ERB reveals deep in Africa's jungles are good fuel for that. Still amazes that the inaugural Tarzan of the Apes published in 1912. Highly recommended.

Here are the first 8 books of the 25 Book Tarzan Series. The stories follow Tarzan from birth and childhood to adulthood, love romance, grappling life around him and even the advent of WWI.
The first book itself, very reminiscent of Kiplings “The Jungle Book”. Some aspects of the books have not aged well since first written. In time, you can see a style to Burroughs. He DOES NOT know how to close an end a story. The plot, storyline and outcome just becomes predictable. In part, you even question the storyline itself. Jack, their son, was introduced in Book 4 and barely heard from again. Book 6 we suddenly have a series of short stories of Tarzan’s youth. NO WARNING it goes back to the start. We then have a baby and young man who, having never seen or spoken to a Westerner self teaches himself perfect English, picks up most languages super quickly and flits between Jungle and high class society seemingly effortlessly. Certain parts seem too implausible.

I've actually only read the first book. I loved it, started reading the second and was sad of all the changes Tarzan was going through, will have to go back to it when I'm a little tougher on the inside.

The first Tarzan novel is fantastic. Unique, creative, fun entertainment. The remainder of the series get progressively worse. I give the first novel a 4, the remainder between a 2-3. Overall a 3.
