John Carter in The Gods of Mars Audiobook

" An excellent novel... Yet the endless amount of action was exhausting. "

" A true action book and a quick read. Action appears on every page. I have maybe read one or two of Burroughs along time ago. Most literary writers probably consider it to be junk. But the author is able to hold your attention and keep the story moving. "

" Both more ambitious and less satisfying than its predecessor, 'A Princess of Mars,' John Carter's return to Barsoom relies far too much on coincidence to move its plot along. Still an entertaining and inventive read, 'The Gods of Mars,' it should be noted, is also the first part of what is really a double novel, with the action concluding in 'The Warlord of Mars.' The book does feel, well, over-crowded. Too many wanderings through tunnels! "

" I liked this one better than the first book. The setting was entirely different and the story telling went smoother I think. I'll read the next book. John Carter is a really great character, a true hero in every sense of the word, both in strength and integrity. The movie portrayed him ok. "

" the first was the best "

" I never thought I would like a pulpy swashbuckling adventure story, but I'm really enjoying this series. "

" 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. "

" Solid pulp adventure. Not as good as the first book. The second time around feels a little more derivative. Still a lot of fun in a roller coaster sort of way. Highly enjoyable reading candy. "

" The therns introduced in the movie, John Carter, make their appearance in this book. Moving heaven and hell is an apt description of John Carter's resolve to return to his love, Deja Thoris. "

" So campy and predictable, but surprisingly so fun at the same time. "

" Huge cliff hanger, glad I have the third one to read. "

" More exciting and interesting than I remembered as a kid. Back then I probably didn't like it as much because it doesn't feature many of the characters from the first book. This used to be my least favorite of the original Mars trilogy, but I'd say it's a solid No. 2 now. "

" Really enjoyed this one, even more than the first novel. I liked that it was a more streamlined story, super imaginative, and was action packed right from the beginning, but what an intense cliffhanger!! Definitely will have to read the next one soon. "

" This book was really frustrating, and it just wasn't as enjoyable as the first. Maybe I just don't have that much brainpower in me for a fucking book like this. "

" This one kept me on the edge of my seat. Action from beginning to end. It does leave a bit of a cliff hanger at the end so I'm anxious to get to the third John Carter book The Warlord of Mars. So I suggest if you read this book to have the next one handy to dig into. "

" John Carter is back and manages to disprove the Martian's entire religion. Can't wait to read the next one! "

" 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. "

" I absolutely loved this book. There is nothing ground breaking. The writing isn't great. It's just another fun book. There was more depth to this book than the first, and more pain. "

" I didn't enjoy GODS quite as much as PRINCESS, but I still love the matter-of-fact outrageousness of the Carter books. But agh, the cliffhanger ending! Agh! "
