More Believable WomenThe women in this novel were less wimpy than in previous stories。Edgar Rice Burroughs always provides engaging plots， although he recycles some ideas。

Here we have the continuing story of “Tarzan”， and， let’s face it， it is all about Tarzan， the centre of life as we know it， the centre of everything in Africa， the white man “Lord” of the animals and Africans alike。Here we have a rather better story compared to previous Tarzan novels， a story with themes and a plot。 Not JUST A PLOT， a plausible one too。 On one stream we have the return of “The Arabs”， coming to capture African Villagers to sell for profit。 A theme Burroughs has touched upon bef Here we have the continuing story of “Tarzan”， and， let’s face it， it is all about Tarzan， the centre of life as we know it， the centre of everything in Africa， the white man “Lord” of the animals and Africans alike。Here we have a rather better story compared to previous Tarzan novels， a story with themes and a plot。 Not JUST A PLOT， a plausible one too。 On one stream we have the return of “The Arabs”， coming to capture African Villagers to sell for profit。 A theme Burroughs has touched upon before。 Then， we get on another side， two Americans， two very different and opposing Americans。 Stimbol the racist， the White American who is MASTER OF ALL， that Africans are subservient to him and Africa itself is his play ground to shoot and kill for fun。 Blake the romantic， the individual who cares who opposes and hates every part of Stimbol。 As the story progresses they go their separate ways。 Blake falls upon an unknown hidden civilisation （SHOCKING， I know）， untouched in 700 years from the time of the crusades。Despite some of the repetitive themes， a rather enjoyable story。 However， as per the previous books， you feel and think this story should be a two parter， yet， within the space of two chapters everything is resolved。 Burroughs DOES NOT know how to conclude a story。 He spends far too long on the start and middle of the story and not the end。 。。。more

The 11th novel in the Tarzan series was serialized in Blue Book Magazine from December 1927 through May 1928， and first published as a novel in a hardcover edition from A。 C。 McClurg in September 1928。Most of the mid to late Tarzan novels feature a lost civilization of one kind or another。 This 11th book is no exception。 But in an interesting turn， the lost civilization this time around is from the age of the crusades。 Seems a group of Templar Knights was shipwrecked off the coast of Africa over The 11th novel in the Tarzan series was serialized in Blue Book Magazine from December 1927 through May 1928， and first published as a novel in a hardcover edition from A。 C。 McClurg in September 1928。Most of the mid to late Tarzan novels feature a lost civilization of one kind or another。 This 11th book is no exception。 But in an interesting turn， the lost civilization this time around is from the age of the crusades。 Seems a group of Templar Knights was shipwrecked off the coast of Africa over 730 years ago during the time of the third crusade。 They’ve continued to live in the same fashion through the centuries， afraid to try to leave， believing themselves to be outnumbered by Saracens。That’s just one aspect of the novel which also includes a group of slave traders from the northern desert territories as well as a pair of Americans on safari。 Tarzan is almost a secondary character throughout the novel， as the focus tends to be on James Blake， an American who is intent on photographing wildlife deep in the jungles of Africa and who finds himself in love with a princess of the realm， fighting for her honor in jousts and sword fights。 All the action and adventure that one expects from an ERB novel is here and a fun ride it is。 Tarzan is forced into being the true Lord of the Jungle by keeping order and protecting the wildlife。 In an interesting play on words， he also is hailed as an actual “Lord” when he reveals himself to the medieval knights as a viscount in England。Another fine Tarzan adventure。 。。。more

The generic Tarzan novel—by the time Burroughs wrote ‘Tarzan， Lord of the Jungle，’ he had pretty much explored the protagonist’s character as thoroughly as he ever would。 No room was left to grow。 There were two ways of dealing with this fact; the first was to keep introducing new exotic settings for the ape-man to explore。 He stuffed so many lost cities into central Africa it’s a wonder there was room for them all。 Here we get a stronghold of lost crusaders—or their descendants， to be more exac The generic Tarzan novel—by the time Burroughs wrote ‘Tarzan， Lord of the Jungle，’ he had pretty much explored the protagonist’s character as thoroughly as he ever would。 No room was left to grow。 There were two ways of dealing with this fact; the first was to keep introducing new exotic settings for the ape-man to explore。 He stuffed so many lost cities into central Africa it’s a wonder there was room for them all。 Here we get a stronghold of lost crusaders—or their descendants， to be more exact。The second was to introduce subplots involving a cast of secondary characters。 These later Tarzan novels tend to be more about them than Tarzan himself。 By the time he reached this eleventh adventure， Burroughs had the process pretty well streamlined， with intertwining subplots， one of them generally romantic。 Here， two of them， and， to be sure， one involves a princess。 It would hardly be a Burroughs novel without one。This go-around is almost too generic， too full of recycled set-pieces， and even a bit lazy。 Moreover， it is one of the least believable and least well-realized of his lost civilizations。 The novel can be a reasonable enjoyable way to entertain oneself for a few hours but I don’t particularly recommend it， considering ‘Tarzan， Lord of the Jungle’ to be pretty much a take-it-or-leave it book。 。。。more

Yet another lost civilization。 This one is a little light on Tarzan but mindless entertainment to get one through this pandemic。

One of the highlights of the later Tarzan books。 We are reminded of Tarzan， or rather Lord Greystoke's pedigree as he encounters an outpost of medieval English knights。 An African English Lord and an American explorer at King Arthur's court。 For those who want to see the Lord of the Jungle joust， even though he once again plays the sidekick for another young and promising person while he is there to offer support and protection。 One of the highlights of the later Tarzan books。 We are reminded of Tarzan， or rather Lord Greystoke's pedigree as he encounters an outpost of medieval English knights。 An African English Lord and an American explorer at King Arthur's court。 For those who want to see the Lord of the Jungle joust， even though he once again plays the sidekick for another young and promising person while he is there to offer support and protection。 。。。more

This was another good Tarzan novel。It starts out great， with a hunting party lead by two men moving through Africa。 One is an evil hunter， the other a man that just wants to take photographs。 There's also an evil group of slave traders moving through the jungle。 It's very easy to follow at this point。 However， Tarzan novels have to be a little complicated。As I've started in prior reviews， in Tarzan's Africa you can't throw a stick without hitting a long lost undiscovered civilization。 In this no This was another good Tarzan novel。It starts out great， with a hunting party lead by two men moving through Africa。 One is an evil hunter， the other a man that just wants to take photographs。 There's also an evil group of slave traders moving through the jungle。 It's very easy to follow at this point。 However， Tarzan novels have to be a little complicated。As I've started in prior reviews， in Tarzan's Africa you can't throw a stick without hitting a long lost undiscovered civilization。 In this novel， it's a group of British knights who've been lost in Africa since the crusades。 So we end up with another plot twist。Overall， Tarzan really had a small part in this novel， which was surprising。 It focused more on the somewhat large ensemble cast of characters。 But if you enjoy Tarzan novels， you'll like this one。 。。。more

Even though the Tarzan stories are over 60 years old they remain timeless。 These books are fantastic reading。 These books make all the movies and cartoons seem meaningless。 Highly recommended

I have read all 24 of the Tarzan books。 Read dates are from the mid 1970s through 1982。 I thoroughly enjoyed all of the Tarzan books。 They made a great escape from high school and college。 I still have all 24 books and they are at the top of my book shelf。 I thought it was pretty neat to find the actual covers listed on Goodreads and there are no barcodes on the books， plus the cover price ranged from $1。50-1。95 for each book。
