Well I loved everything about this audiobook. It was a delightful glimpse back into the past, brilliantly narrated by David Stifel whose variety of voices perfectly complemented the characters…..”Tut, tut.”
I have grown up watching Johnny Weissmuller, Ron Ely, Christopher Lambert and many others play the role of Tarzan, none of which prepared me for what I was about to read.
It is important to remember that this is a classic novel which was written in 1914 and it expresses attitudes of the time. So please enjoy the book for what it is rather than analyse its political correctness.
I could list all the characters and divulge the entire story line but then that would just spoil your future enjoyment and experience.
To summarise; It is a wonderful adventurous tale of mutiny, marooning, adversity, tragedy, isolation, survival, adaptation, discovery, friendship and love.
I have to say the ending was unexpected but it has definitely left me wanting to listen to the follow on book.
So give this audiobook a go, it is excellently narrated and a must listen for anyone who has not read the original.
You will be pleasantly surprised and you certainly won’t be disappointed.
