Comments: All movie adaptations are better than this book. It is gross and boring in spots. But it does have some beauty to it. The descriptions of the jungle, how Jane looks and smells to Tarzan. The choice he makes in the end, though super annoying and the opposite of what you wish for, it still is a beautiful choice.
