A Princess of Mars is a science fantasy novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the first of his Barsoom series. It was first serialized in the pulp magazine All-Story Magazine from February–July, 1912. Full of swordplay and daring feats, the novel is considered a classic example of 20th-century pulp fiction. It is also a seminal instance of the planetary romance, a subgenre of science fantasy that became highly popular in the decades following its publication. Its early chapters also contain elements of the Western.

I recommended this book to one of my students and decided that I wanted a copy on hand. I looked through available copies and, unfortunately, most of the covers of available copies were not something I was comfortable handing to a student. I was so happy to come across this one with its beautiful cover art. Imagine my disappointment when I find that the formatting is horrific! So much white space with tiny font. I can't hand this to a student and ask them to read it! This was a complete waste of my money! (Offering a picture of the formatting with a "regularly formatted" document for comparison.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly translated from another language.

Don't buy this version of a classic story. Especially starting with chapter 15, it seems to have been translated, very poorly, from another language, so I'm guessing someone took a foreign language version and translated it back??? Bad grammer, mis-spellings, punctuation errors, lack of capitalization, incomplete sentences and simply incomprehensible writing. Who couldn't copy the test written over 100 year ago? Hard to imagine why, but this is unreadable.

To be written so long ago the John Carter novels hold the test of time as excellent science fiction. Burroughs created a fascinating world.

Conceived of GPS, autopilot and terra forming in 1912. Hollywood just didn't do this story justice. Still a great read today.

4.0 out of 5 stars John Carter Goes to Mars
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2016

Solid book. It's not my first exposure to Burroughs, but it was my first exposure to John Carter. I found the beginning of the book to be intriguing, although I found myself skimming parts of it, mostly explanations of the different types of people on Mars. There are several great characters, and the end of the book is very, very tense and well-done, and very human.

I know this series is quite old, and that the modern movies "based" on them have been crap, but I really love them. They taught my young self about how to be a man, how to stand up for what is right, and how to treat women (with respect, always).

Contemporary readers might become bored with the early 20th century prose, but the first-person narrative of a mystical transport to Mars is ground-breaking science fiction. Get the whole series!

I read this book about 60 years ago and it was a real favorite, it's story is simple and all the pieces fall together easily. It's not anything deep or meaningful, it's just a great wash over you tale of manlyheroes sad beautiful princesses. Read it it's great fun,in this cynical darkness age

5 star read. All the elements of a good read (no explicit sexual encounters) with honour,savage justice, envy, war, list for life and love. I can't believe this is over 100years old.
