A review by youngthespian42
A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs
2.0
I wanted to love this. I love HG Wells and get past HP Lovecraft and his flawed language choice. The second half of this book the pulp action part of the book takes off and it’s enjoyable enough but the first half is rough.
John Carter was an officer in the Confederate Army and that comes with the racism and sexism you would expect. I try to only judge a book by its time but some of the stuff in here is a little eyebrow raising even by 1912 standards. For me the juice was not worth the squeeze.
