review 1: I interrupted my Lee Childs book for this and as far as the story goes it is a rollicking good story. My complaint is that it rewrites the Tarzan story under the premise that Jane tells the story her way to ERB and gives him license to change it as he thinks best. I just had a lot of difficulty with that. If the story had been written without a connection to Tarzan, I would have given it 5 stars. I am too picky about such things, maybe. But I don't like it when my friends are re-invented.
review 2: I don't know much about the Tarzan series other than maybe an old Johnny Weismuller movie or two, so I didn't have high expectations for this book. BUT it was pretty bad. Not so bad that I couldn't finish it, but bad in that I skimmed quite a few pages to see
... more if it would get better. (Hint: it didn't) This book was a mix of fantasy, adventure and tawdry romance novel. Unfortunately for the author, it didn't mix in a good way, at least not for this reader. less

Very enjoyable, entertaining fast read. Great for the summer sitting by the pool or at the beach.

Great twist on the original story - Jane is finally given a back story worthy of her.
