The Return of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs

Filed under: Adventure,Series — Randolph @ 3:15 pm

The Return of Tarzan by Edgar Rice BurroughsThis book resumes the story from the first, following Tarzan and Jane separately through most of the book. We Tarzan fall from his height of a sophisticated European back to the jungle animal. He maintains his morals and manages to return to his heights. All the loose ends are tied up this time, but it still leaves some expectations for the next volume. Tarzan seems too much of a superhero than the myth from comic and TV lore. He is both a cultured European with fluency in several languages, and the ultimate savage speaking with apes and many primitive tribes. He is unerring with spear and bow, tracker, spy, and what else? But it is still very enjoyable.

The Pirates!: An Adventure with Scientists & An Adventure with Ahab by Gideon Defoe

Another great book!  The Pirate Captain has bought a boat from Cutlass Liz and payment is due! The captain comes up with hair-brained, and hilarious, schemes to gain the funds and save his crew. The characters are wonderfully odd, Defoe has a great sense of humor.  This is a must read for anyone!!
