I am 70. and I have read the John Carter of Mars/ Barsoom Collection by Edgar Rice Borroughs, over an over again throughout my life. They are wonderful stories, and have brought me much joy. I used to own the entire collection, but they were stolen from me many years ago. I hope whoever stole them, enjoys them as much as I did.
If you have never read these book, then you are missing out on a wonderful experience. The fist of the collection is called, "A Princess of Mars". I guarantee, if you read it, then you will want to read more about John Carter.
Cheers, Shari R

The Barsoom stories are timeless classics
Burroughs Barsoom series is excellent. Fun, well written, interesting for all ages. A nice blend of action, adventure, mild romance, chivelry, and science fiction. A bit misogynistic, but not too bad, considering it was written between 1915 and 1960.

excellent
classic E.R.B. well written. It wording is it agebut the stories are classic and well developed. 60 years ago I would have said every teenage boy would enjoy these stories. Now however they are the base from which most video games are formed. definately worth reading.

A must read for any science fiction fan.
Some of the language is dated. The books were written at the opening of the 20th century. Very good stories overshadow and minor changes in language in 100+ years howver

Bought the 5 book novel at barns and noble. I enjoyed the different planetary races and one man who stands alone against them all. Both versions of the movie doesnt do the book justice. So many things going on is one of the best curl by fire books ive read in three winters.

Great series
Great series, even if it a little predictable. I wish the “John Carter” movie had followed the book closer. And, I wish they would make the rest of the series into movies.

I don't know what I missed in the book/set that others saw to give it an average rating of 4.5. The imagination of Burroughs is worse than an 1 year old. Narration is even worse.
Or maybe if I read it before reading HG Wells ("War of Worlds"), my reaction would have been different! Suddenly the person lands on Mars and just because of gravity difference becomes a hero in the eyes of Martians who are no different from humans except for their color. They wear ornaments too? And they have pet dogs? Come on, I thought it was a science fiction. I'd rather spend the time reading some kids' book like "The Secret Garden" or even "Fairy tales" that make more sense.
In short, a huge disappointment.

Another one I won't be finishing. The last book in the collection is boring. The characters uninteresting, the plot a mash-up of the previous books in the series. It is almost as if it was written by someone else.
The rest of the series is worth the purchase of this collection, however. The characters are believable, the plots are well thought out, and the story-telling keeps the pages turning.
If you are looking for good sci-fi from a bygone era, this is a collection that you need on your shelf.

Marvelous escapist reading filled with so much of what is missing today: Honor, integrity, and duty.
In Burroughs world women are to be protected, provided for, and prized above self.
Fun reading all the way through, even if a few of the books were a little less captivating. Still they were all good.

From Earth To Mars
This is the cheapest and nearly complete collection of the John Carter novels I could find. Reading the novels I kept coming across that sound familiar. I think it's due to George Lucas strip mining the best parts of this series for his Star Wars movies. Jeddak,Banth and Sith are all words from these books that have been recycled by Mr. Lucas.

Imaginative and original!
I really enjoyed this series and would highly recommend it to anyone. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

January 17, 2018I gave up after a few chapters of the second book. It read like a bad Dungeons & Dragons adventure. I may try again one day if I am very very bored.
