If you've made it this far, you're obviously a fan of Tarzan and his adventures and pitfalls, so you are more interested in hearing how he'll get out of the next spot of trouble than considering that after 5 books, Burroughs was pretty much out of ideas. Same story, (some) different characters, slightly different premise. As usual though, the excitement level is high and you have to admire the super-human feats accomplished by Tarzan. Ralph Snelson reads with the lilting Utah accent and grandfatherly voice that is charming and endearing, but if you're picky about your narrators, consider one of the other versions. His constant and repeated mispronunciation of some words and his (sometimes hilariously) awful attempts at accents will drive some people crazy, some others seem to love it. If you don't like it, you can pay $17 to hear someone else read it, but I'll stick with Mr. Snelson for free!

with the exception of the insistence of calling a 40 year old Jane "the girl" and the over used amnesia ploy, its a great story
