This took me forever to read because I just nibbled at it occasionally on my phone app in waiting rooms, etc...

The John Carter books have been very fun reads so far. It's awesome reading sci-fi in such formal language. There is action on pretty much every page, and although it gets repetitive, I still found myself wanting to know what happened by the end of the book (cliffhangers! Ahhhhh!!!).

I'm sure I will at least finish book three.

I am also impressed by Edgar Rice Burroughs making a point of showing that men of all races and colors, green, white, black, and red, can all equally be jerkwads, or can work together peacefully. The women he writes are generally pretty self-sacrificing and noble, although they let the men do all the fighting. I still think the books hold up pretty well.
