5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Western, October 6, 2005

By

This review is from: War Chief (Hardcover)

The War Chief IS a great western novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs (the creator of Tarzan). ERB only wrote 4 westerns. However, be aware that the first edition was by A.C. McClurg in 1927. All Grosset & Dunlap editions of Burroughs are reprints.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dissappointed ERB Fan, April 28, 2007

By

Michael Kegerreis (Temperance, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: War Chief (Hardcover)

Normally, I am a big fan of Edgar Rice Burroughs, having read more than 70 of his books. But I was unable to read more than 20 pages at a sitting of "The War Chief". I found this poor man's "Romeo and Juliet" difficult because of all the hyphenated Apache words. Burroughs' tongue in cheek defense of the "noble savage" was an interesting theme throughout, but the main story line was not enough to keep my interest.

If you are a devout fan of ERB then buy the book, by all means. But, if you are sampling Burroughs for the first time, you are better off with one of the Tarzan or John Carter stories.
