Review: Child of Another Kind Review: Keeper of Enchanted Rooms Review: Could Have Been Real Review: Could Have Been Romantic Review: Could Have Been Closer

Review: Child of Another Kind

For a science fiction book about an alien race interfering with our world, the most alien part of this book is the author’s relationship with...

Review: Keeper of Enchanted Rooms

A while back, I wrote a break-up letter with this author and told her we were done. I meant it, too. I had given her...

Review: Could Have Been Real

Right after I read this book, I heard about the trauma response many abused children carry into adulthood, the ability to read people in an...

Review: Could Have Been Romantic

What do you do when the one you’re in love with is incapable of loving you back. Not because you’re unlovable or they’re unloving, but...

Review: Could Have Been Closer

Camilla Evergreen writes really good fantasy romances. This isn’t one. To be fair, it’s not supposed to be, but it is more fantastic than the...

Review: Tarzan and the Tarzan Twins with Jad-bal-ja the Golden Lion

Tarzan and the Tarzan Twins with Jad-bal-ja the Golden Lion The title is almost longer than the story, and a little more interesting, to be honest. I wasn’t a big fan of The Tarzan Twins so I didn’t have big hopes for the sequel, which turned out to be just…

Review: The Tarzan Twins

The Tarzan Twins I’m about 90% sure I never read this one and I wasn’t missing much. This was written just a few years before the appearance of the first comic book sidekick, Robin the Boy Wonder, and it was probably meant to serve the same purpose. Sidekicks like Robin…

Review: Tarzan and the Foreign Legion

Tarzan and the Foreign Legion I was expecting desert and Frenchmen but what I got was a bunch of Americans, a Dutch girl, and a smattering of others, and Tarzan. I got Tarzan so no complaints. Still, this takes place in Sumatra and it puts Tarzan into a new jungle…

Review: Tarzan and the Castaways

Tarzan and the Castaways Based on other reviews I’ve read of this book, part of it may have been dropped from the Kindle version I own. I will review what I read and check the print copy later to see if I did, indeed, miss something. I can’t miss any…

Review: Tarzan the Magnificent

Tarzan the Magnificent This felt oddly disjointed to me until I found out that it was originally published as two separate stories and then it all made sense. Well, maybe I wouldn’t go that far but at least I understood why it felt like two halves of a whole. The…

Review: Tarzan and the Forbidden City

Tarzan and the Forbidden City An old friend returns and I was so excited to see him. If you’ve read the book that started all of this – and if you haven’t, why haven’t you – then you will recognize Lieutenant Paul d’Arnot as the brave Frenchman that Tarzan rescued…

Review: Tarzan’s Quest

Tarzan’s Quest Tarzan’s Quest is, I believe, the last official appearance of Lady Jane Greystoke, née Porter, and what an appearance it is. She’s swinging through the trees, commanding an expedition, confronting a murderer, and killing an angry leopard with her handmade bow and arrows. She has come a long…

Review: Tarzan and the Leopard Men

Tarzan and the Leopard Men Poor Tarzan is going to end up with Repetitive Head Injury Syndrome if this keeps up. This time around he is caught up in a storm and is hit in the head by a tree branch. He is rescued by Orando of the Utengi tribe…

Review: Tarzan and the Lion Man

Tarzan and the Lion Man This book is half and half for me. I absolutely loved the skewering of Hollywood and its denizens. Since I’ve hated almost every Tarzan movie ever made I can sympathize with Edgar Rice Burroughs and his frustration with their ham-fisted treatment of his most famous…

Review: Tarzan and the City of Gold

Tarzan and the City of Gold This is one of the rarer later books where Tarzan has a more central role. It takes place in another lost civilization and starts when Tarzan rescues a strange white man and wanders in the jungle with him long enough to learn his language…
