Reviews

[James · Rating 2 out of 5]

The next two instalments of Tarzan. Both books unrelated and DO NOT link or follow on from each other. The second book is FAR BETTER than the first though.

Book 17 looks at Hollywood making a movie in Africa whilst Book 18 looks at a tribal conflict with cannibals. Both books have the usual issues with Burroughs, such as poor endings.
