"Holy cow. I never expected to like this series as much as I do. It's predictable, absurd, and downright ridiculous. But it's amazingly satisfying and fun! I was blown away by the directions Burroughs chose to go, and impressed by John Carter's continuity no matter the cost."

The Gods of Mars Listener Reviews
-
" While this book is entertaining, I found it a tad exhausting with the constant fighting and John Carter being captured so much. It took me a while to read ; which not normal for me. But as I states,it was entertaining. Not sure I'll read book 3 anytime soon. "
— Yolanda, 2/20/2014 -
" A well rounded, action packed sequel to Princess of Mars. "
— Lisa, 2/11/2014 -
" I didn't like A Princess of Mars at the beginning, but I started to care much more about the characters and their plights as I read on. In The Gods of Mars my feelings toward John Carter, and the other characters, continued to strengthen. I have only given the book 3 stars because I want to give it 3 and a half... I'm not quite ready to commit to 4 stars. There is a possibility that will change with the next book. "

" I enjoyed this book in the Barsoom series more than I did A Princess of Mars; I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could. The story pulled me in a bit more, and I felt like it moved faster. Burroughs shows an entirely different side of Mars--a much more brutal side--than in the first book. You finally see the therns, though aside from their baldness they don't have much in common with the therns in the John Carter movie. Make sure you have the next book (Warlord of Mars) ready because Gods of Mars ends with a cliffhanger. "

" Very amazing and the most suspenseful ending ever!!! "
— Ailyn, 1/24/2014 -
" To be honest I skimmed a lot of the fight scenes. They felt a little repetitive. But the book ended leaving me wanting more. Enjoyed overall but not as much as the previous "
— Kelly, 1/15/2014 -
" Great audio form Booksshouldbefree.com, but I would have preferred a better ending. "
— Rebekah, 1/8/2014 -
" A fun sequel to A Princess of Mars. It starts out with some pretty cool descriptions and action sequences. Again, not deep stuff, but fun escapist literature. "
— Travis, 1/4/2014 -
" Lots of action in this trilogy series. M. N. "
— Horace, 1/4/2014 -
" A worthy follow-up to Barsoom #1. "
— Andrew, 1/3/2014 -
" Nice follow-up. Looking forward to continuing the series. "
— Jessica, 12/26/2013 -
" I liked it, but I got a little bored. "
— Jen, 12/24/2013 -
" This wasn't as good as _A Princess of Mars_. I don't think I'll read any more of this series. "
— Rachael, 11/17/2013 -
" Another entertaining entry in the John Carter saga. I look forward to reading the next entry in the series. "
— Arwen, 11/4/2013 -
" Very fun. I think that this author should write more books :) "
— Michael, 11/2/2013 -
" Classic pulp all over. Burroughs ends on another incredible cliff-hanger and leaves you wanting to return to Barsoom. "
— Mark, 10/15/2013 -
" Lots of chasing with improbable timing. Story does bound along though. "
— Iain, 10/3/2013 -
" Amazing over-the-top non-stop action and adventure - continues the saga, but makes you have to go on to the next one to find out what happens. "
— Joyce, 7/24/2013 -
" Good sequel to Princess of Mars, Burroughs expands the world he created in his first book and continues the swashbuckling sci-fi. "
— Stephen, 3/27/2013 -
" I really enjoy this series. I use them as filler books between other novels. Very quick easy reads, I have been enjoying them since I was a kid. "
— Daniel, 4/11/2011 -
" Soooo fun! Way more complex and even more imaginative than the first book. It felt like ERB had been visited by a holy thern with a vision of what action movies would be like today. Love the religious skepticism and utter black-and-white treatment of the human psyche. "
— Susan, 3/16/2011 -
" As a general rule, I don't really enjoy when something ends in a big cliffhanger. Thankfully the sequel was written 100 years ago, so I can pick it up right away. "
— Josh, 10/11/2010 -
" See my review of A Princess of Mars "
— Brent, 8/6/2010 -
" if you want o know how men and women should be then read E.R.B "
— Val, 7/23/2009 -
" Again a good read, killer cliffhanger at the end. That is all. "
