Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would not recommend this version as the reading is extremely distracting. It appears as if the narrator did not understand the work. The reading is disjointed, there are bizarre and inappropriate pauses and stresses that are out of context. In addition, some words are mis-pronounced.
I understand that nobody is perfect, especially me, but I would expect the production team, or someone, to have picked this up.

Would you be willing to try another one of Alan Munro’s performances?

Definitely not. This performance had a hugely detrimental effect on my enjoying and even understanding the story.

Did Tarzan of the Apes inspire you to do anything?

I would purchase more Tarzan stories.
