I loved this book! I think it's one of Edgar Rice Burroughs better written books. It's more true to life then the r St of his books. AND the narration was excellent. It took a bit to get used to him but all in all he did a wonderful job narrating. I don't know his name to give him credit though. We need more books like this to choose from. Thank you. :0)

Yawn, a typical E R Burroughs novel. The lone American character takes on the world single handed and with more lives and luck than a cat wins out every time. It also helps that all those around him are either too dumb, blind or incapable to stop him. Listen for a laugh as many an American movie script writer could only dream of such a character. The story may be lame however the narration is very good.
