I love, love, love this book and the series. I thought sci-fi was for nerds until I read this book. Now I can't stop reading it. Sleep in heavenly peace until the Resurrection ERB
Yeah ERB. The BEST! Notice how POM starts as a Western? Something ERB knew about having been a cowboy for a couple of years. Almost all the Barsoom books have the same plot: kidnapped princess, gotta kill a lotta people to get her back, but great imagination and adventure.
Burroughs is one of those authors I should really read to cement my education of the sci-fi genre. I guess there was enough going on in this book that giving a backstory for immortality didn’t seem too important haha
I'm so excited for this! It was already next on my TBR shelf for when I finish my current read but even more looking forward to it now! Luckily for me some dude sent it to me.
I just finished reading "A Princess of Mars" for this first time yesterday (also my first Burroughs). It was my first book of 2023, and it was all your fault! I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. It was a lot better than I expected it to be.
I just read this thanks to your gushing over Edgar Rice Boroughs. Talk about action packed! I enjoyed the writing and the aliens. I was tired of all the action by the end. The ending was also a let down for me. I probably won’t go any farther, at least not soon.
I have always Loved that line......The Average Human Mind will not believe what it cannot grasp.👍😁👍 I've read a lot of Edgar Rice Burroughs, but not as much as You. Barsoom👍 He failed at everything...because He should have always been a writer. IMO. You mean...Kind of like Superman ....I could 👀see You didn't want 2 say it.👍🤣 . Sorry my Friend. 👍 Agreed with you...on a lot of fun👍. Sometimes a lot of fun in a book, or very entertaining is more than enough for me 2 read it. Really Enjoyed this Video 👍😁👍
I would like to join a read along for ERB's books. Have you considerdd doing it with a discord channel ? I think David Wiley said he has set one up. Is that the best place to join ?
Oh man, I don’t understand Discord at all. I tried navigating that for Mike’s Book Reviews Malazan thing and I was just lost and confused. David Wiley would love to have you, he has a lot of cool stuff going on. This month is Princess of Mars and Tarzan of the Apes. Next month is Return of Tarzan and Gods of Mars.
