Fun, exciting read.  I imagine the author's intended audience was preteen/teenaged boys, but I enjoyed it (I'm a woman).  Considering when it was written, I was pleasantly surprised it wasn't too racist.  Yes, the white men are the focus and do most of the saving, but many of the native African characters have dignity and intelligence.  The book is probably better than all of the many movies that have been made with the same name.
