David McK (3185 KP) rated Tarzan of the Apes (Tarzan, #1) in Books
Jan 28, 2019
Downloaded (in ePub format) for free, Tarzan of the Apes is perhaps Edgar Rice Burroughs most famous creation.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the novel bears little resemblance to the Tarzan films of yore: in those, he was mainly depicted as living in the jungle and speaking very little (except for Jane - "me Tarzan, you Jane" - and, later, boy); while he doesn't speak for most of the novel by the end of it he has become remarkably fluent!

David McK (3185 KP) rated The Gods of Mars (Barsoom #2) in Books
Jan 28, 2019
The sequel to <i>A Princess of Mars</i>, <i>The Gods of Mars</i> again is presented as Edgar Rice Burroughs retelling the story of a relation of his. Again, this novel starts on Earth before moving to Mars proper and fleshing out the world first shown in the earlier book.
It is also, quite clearly, a product of it's time both in it's vision of Barsoom (or Mars), and in the culture of the various races upon (and underneath) the planet, and also ends - rather abruptly, I felt - in a cliffhanger of an ending.
