A review by jdvough
John Carter of Mars, Vol. 2 by Edgar Rice Burroughs

3.0

This volume of John Carter books was not as fun as the last one. For one there is very little of our hero, John Carter, as each of the two books focuses on one of his children. The formula is set by this time and in each, the protagonist gets in trouble, gets lost, finds themself trapped in a seemingly magic and inescapable city of all powerful inhabitants, then escapes. I don’t know if the writing was worse with these books or by the end of this volume (book five), I had just gotten bored with the idea. Fun, but maybe more so if not read all at once.
