A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs

A Princess of Mars (Barsoom, #1) A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I read this book on a recommendation from a used bookstore owner. She also recommended Tarzan of The Apes from the same author. I have to say I did enjoy this book although, I kept thinking how much more a guy would enjoy it. It's a science fiction story set in Mars with many descriptions of the different Martian species on the planet and many fight scenes, as well. There is a bit of romance but only enough to provide the main character, John Carter, with motive and inspiration to be the hero and save the damsel in distress. I heartily recommend this book to men and boys alike!
