I think this is a solid 2/3 for me. It was not a bad read by any means, and I see how this book could be pivotal for sci-fi and fantasy works going forward in time. Considering this book was released in 1914, I’m also happy with how it read, and it wasn’t too complex that I was totally lost at what was going on. I didn’t love some of the content, it made me scoff a bit even, but I understand back then it was a different time (lol). I love the John Carter movie, it’s one of my all time favourites, and so I am really happy I got the chance to read the book finally. The story is so different in the movie, and I can understand why. This is a book you will pick up and push through because it’s easy, it’s fast, and even if it’s not insanely interesting, it’s still pretty cool. I have a bit of bias (which probably pushes this towards a 3 for me) because I love the movie so much, but the characters I also really enjoy reading about. Justice for my girl Sola bro.
