" John carter of mars, savior, messiah, captain, fighting man, resilient gentleman, lover of the beautiful, none of these has Barsoom ever had before. Barsoom has been waiting for someone of his caliber to unite the people's of barsoom. To this we owe fealty to the greatest warrior of two worlds. Absolutely awesomely inspiring. My fave of fave faves. "

" Fun quick read. Well done given it was written in 1928 - I loved the radium bullets. "

" Pretty much what I expected. It's a fun, pulpy book; don't go in expecting anything more than that. One thing: it hasn't aged very well. It's still fun and indicative of it's time, but I know that style might not be to everyone's taste. Glad I read it; might hold off on reading the sequels, though!! "

" I picked up this book because I m a huge tarzen fan. When I started it I didn't like it first, but as I progressed it captured me.i think I can give it three stars for the end. Amazing cliff hanger at the end. I read about the movie and everybody is saying how bad the movie is but after reading this book I wanna see it no matter how bad it is. I found narration of social life of tharks on mars was reference to communism, where everybody has to sacrifices for community. I also find characterization of John carter is shallow. I still liked it. "

" I enjoyed this book though I would have liked battles etc to be more elaborate. I did enjoy the characters/setting though. It's a really quick read I think it only took me maybe 3 hours. "

" This book is fascinating in many ways, captivating in the imagery of a dying planet and the undying love of a southern gentleman for an alien beauty. The constant intensity throughout the period of the book had me, as the reader, constantly hooked onto the book. "
