Deborah’s Reviews > The Adventures of John Carter on Mars > Status Update

The story is fascinating as well as the language he uses. The social structure of his time peeks through in interesting ways as well. You can really tell that the style of the era was to write the heroes as more-than-perfect specimens. I keep wanting to say "Ok, ok, I get it, he's a man's man with a perfect build and no flaws"! Not quite as believable as today's trend in character building.
