Review: More than fantasy...it is a wish for adventure and a yearning for the supernatural.

This is one of the greatest works of sci-fi fantasy that has been written.  Best of all I love how Edgar Rice Burroughs does not over-glorify its characters.  He presents to you the extraordinary in the most relatable of ways and keeps his main characters grounded in a very "Earthly" way.  One thing that makes this book great is that it does not tell you more than you need to know at the time, which truly makes you feel like you are experiencing the journey of John Carter right along with him.  It is a masterpiece for the ages and I hope that it is never forgotten.  This is one that will make you wish you were at this very moment upon the alien world of Barsoom fighting battle after battle for your very own Princess of Mars.
