"Aside from the fact that it has one of the all time great covers, this is a cool sci-fi adventure concentrating on John Carter's son and the maid of the title and the various adventure and intrigue they get caught up in which is required as a form of courtship in any Burroughs novel. "
— Travis (4 out of 5 stars)
" A page-turner, and one of Burroughs' best, with a romance between an earthman and a lunar girl at the heart of the story. "
— William, 12/2/2013" Enjoyable read. In keeping with ERB's Mars series. Particularly despicable villain. This is book 1 of 3 books. The 2nd book is Moon Men. The 3rd book is The Red Hawk. The time line of the stories is a bit vague and hard to follow. Don't worry about it though, just enjoy a "ripping yarn" ! "
— Paqratpapa, 7/27/2013" Read as a girl, but would love to read again... "
— Joni, 9/15/2012" The first ERB book I read, and a pretty enjoyable romp provided you know what you're getting into. Burroughs' work is nowhere near hard SF and as long as you can just accept the absurd ideas as the world of the story, the adventure itself isn't bad. Definitely a male heroic fantasy though. "
— Yosh, 7/7/2012" Antique science fiction does not travel well. "
— Heather, 6/29/2012" A very creative story for a classic. I am happy to see the talent that created Tarzan can write an excellent sci-fi flavor tale. I actually enjoyed it. =) "
— Bradley, 2/25/2012" I read this way back in middle school and remember loving it to no end. I'm afraid to ever read it again lest I realize that it is poorly written shlock and ruin the golden memories that the book holds for me. Therefore, I'll just give it four stars and move on. "
— Rick, 7/8/2011" julian along with 4 other fellows has been selected to a mission to barsoom or mars by US gov in future.l well, they are not going to reach mars. instead they are going to land on moon becuz of one of his subordinates or simply his enemy. "
— тнoмaÑ•, 6/16/2011" This is clearly a series of books for the SF fan. Invasion from the Moon that last for centuries. I was thrilled by them as a teenager. I loved them again a few years ago. I really have enjoyed Edgar Rice Burroughs writings all of my life. "
— Jim, 4/19/2011" I don't have this particular volume, from Bison, but I have the earlier release and just love it. Sheer adventure. Excellent. And fun. "
— Charles, 4/15/2011" I'm not even embarrassed to read these any more. No deep themes, no wrestling to interpret them. These books are just fun. "
— Brent, 1/20/2011" uh....there are few more than 30 pages in this book "
— crunch-o-matic, 7/28/2010" A guilty pleasure. At this point in the series, it a formula of writing. "
— Nathan, 5/31/2010" I'm a huge fan of the Barsoom series. The first three feature John Carter, and they are the classics. This is the first of the rest of them. They are a blast. "
— Chris, 6/25/2009" Burrough's Barsoom books are wonderful--I find them very entertaining. Not dreadfully deep, but fun from beginning to end. "
— Carie, 6/15/2009" I loved this whole series. It's pretty sexual and macho and they're all massive page-turners. <br/> <br/>Same review for each. "
— Adrian, 4/11/2009" Enjoyable, but I'm glad to be done (with reading Burroughs) now. "
— Chris, 4/9/2009" Thuvia, Maid of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs (2001) "
— Roman, 3/31/2009" I read this online when I was bored at work. It is full of quotable quotes. I was laughing my head off and sent Amy many of the best parts. Sadly, it wasn't supposed to be a comedy. "
— Wendy, 1/6/2009" I learned that the most incredible happenings take place on Mars... "
— Travis, 10/10/2008" My son has been reading Jules Verne, maybe I'll leave these lying around. "
