A Princess of Mars Review
Problematic edition

This edition omits the framing preface signed byERB that sets up the narrative. It also has several typos. OTOH it is free, but one expects better of the Oxford Text Archive.
On a separate note. What a travesty was the 2014 movie-ization--painful to watch for someone (me) who has read the work probably 30 times. As thpugh the movie writers felt they could write better than Burroughs, who could seripusly outdo them in his sleep. Michael Chabon this means you.

This book is one of the best written pieces of this age. The exruciating details the author has gone into have been worded in ways that they don't take away from the story itself, while still leaving plenty enough for the creative mind to imagine for themselves. The plot itself is also a wonder, every turn keeps you guessing and everytime I read it I find something I didn't realize before. This book and the others in the series behind it are absolute genius.

An interesting easy read of a science fiction novel before there was science fiction. It's a mixture of superscience and swordplay from the author of the "Tarzan" novels. Written in 1912, it is a great period piece when life on Mars could still be possibly green men and the canals could still be thought to be water-carriers.
P.S. The movie "A Princess of Mars" will be released in 2012. Read the book now!
