What an exciting conclusion to a two part story. Truly well written! In this story Tarzan is once again thrown into an epic adventure as he searches of Jane. In his search he discovers a lost world a prehistoric world, completely untouched by the civilized world. With peril at every turn and danger with each step, Tarzan once again faces unspeakable odd`s. Then to top it off, he is actually being tracked by someone from his past...friend or foe? You won't know until the exciting conclusion of the book. Who is it...? Read and find out.

I know I say this all the time, but I mean it, Burroughs is truly a master at imagination. This was truly one of his best Tarzan adventures yet.

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2014

This is one of the series of the Tarzan books written by this prolific author. The book is written in an easily readable style, and makes enjoyable pleasant, light reading.
The author is writing at the beginning of the 20th century, when much of the African continent was unknown. It is interesting to follow the workings of his mind, as he creates a series of interesting and unique civilizations for Tarzan and the reader to explore.
As part of the format, one knows that our hero will find himself in mortal peril, but will predictably always escape, allowing us to look forward to the next book in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed Tarzan the Terrible

I enjoyed Tarzan the Terrible. It picks up where Tarzan the Untamed leaves off. Not his greatest work or anything, but plenty entertaining. As far as this particular kindle version, it tracks the real book perfectly. I was reading a hard cover version from the twenties, but I wanted to read it on my phone as I walked around places it wasn't handy to take the book. In any case, you can't beat free. Only think missing is the occasional illustration that an old hard cover copy might contain.

3.0 out of 5 stars Tarzan the Terrible wasn't terrible, but not all that great either.

A follow-up adventure to Tarzan the Untamed as the Ape-man seeks to rescue Jane from the hands of the Germans during WWI. This time Jane escapes her lone German captor while in the depths of unexplored Africa only to be imprisoned by a prehistoric tribe of man-like creatures with tails in a hidden land of dinosaurs and other strange creatures. Sounds good? Well, it wasn't really that good, at least to me. Too much evolution thrown in, the language of this strange people was annoying, and Burroughs' storytelling powers weren't up to snuff. It had its moments of action and adventure with only a few twists. Over all, it was somewhat of a letdown to the big buildup in Tarzan the Untamed.

I have quite a few of the Tarzan books and they are such a fun read. You have to get use to the fact that these are not like the Tarzan movies but once you get past the fact that Tarzan is just as much at home going to the opera as he is living in the jungle then you can sit back and have a good read.

4.0 out of 5 stars More pulp fiction from Edgar Rice Burroughs.
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2014

This is the second of the Tarzan books I've read, and there are many that preceded this book. It's not very politically correct these days, but it's great pulp fiction and very entertaining. There's a glossary at the end of the book that helps explain some of the names and terms in the book, I'd recommend starting with that instead of finding it after you've read the whole book like I did.

I read all of these when i was abourt 12 and after the first three books this and Tarzan the Untamed are among the best in the series, be warned some of the attitudes towards race ect are very dated and ERBs knowledge of African wildlife can be way off the mark
