5.0 out of 5 stars Burrough's Best December 23, 2009

By Daniel E. Waitkoss

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Yeah, there are more titles in the whole series, but the first three make a full novel with the story of John Carter's arrival, his almost "super-human" abilities to jump and fight, and his undying love love for the incomparable Dejah Thoris. You have seen it all before, but the power of Burrough's vision and the details of the world of Barsoom show how good ERB could write when the spirit moved him. These three books are far superior to the others of the series and, let's face it, you can't beat the cost at about a buck. I hate to sound like a brown-noser, but Amazon has a winner with its prices and the Kindle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless science fiction/fantasy September 1, 2011

By Lu Liu

Format:Kindle Edition

The John Carter of Mars books remain my favorite science fiction/fantasy series of all time. Almost 100 years after its original publication, it is still represents the best qualities of its genre: action, adventure, romance, futuristic vision, indellible characters, and suspense. All contemporary works fail in comparison. If you're looking for something truly original, and not the copycat publications that were inspired by it, this is well worth your time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better the Second Time Around November 13, 2010

By Anthony D. Vinson

I first read this series as a teenager and when I saw it was available for Kindle it took no time for me to download. Sure, the material is dated, but these stories are fun reads and pretend to be nothing more.
