Tarzan of the Apes is similar in some ways to the book Silverwing, by Kenneth Oppel. For one, in Silverwing there is a runty bat called Shade who doesn't seem to fit in. This is the same with Tarzan, who feels small and puny in the presence of his mighty ape brothers. In Silverwing, Shade also meets a female bat named Marina who becomes his friend and companion. In Tarzan, he finds a human female and becomes friends with her. In both books the story is made up of completely or mostly animals. In both books Humans play a part. And in both books, the hero is struggling for survival.
Yeah, another BRILLIANT post by ME. *Sigh*. I guess I can make another post, but that would make me look overeager. :) :)
