Review title: the 11th and last
Product review: Pity the Mars books didn't have a definite ending and a single adventurer. I guess if Burroughs had known how popular it was going to be, he would have structured them more carefully. But oh well.There are eleven books in the series, and this one is the final book. Unlike the first, say, five books in the Barsoom series, "John Carter of Mars" is not so much a single book as it is an anthology of two long stories: "John Carter and the Giant of Mars" and "Skeleton Men of Jupiter."If you gotta have it, then you gotta have it. And you gotta have it if you want to complete your collection of all eleven.But both stories here are disappointing: the first one is for kids, and the second one leaves you hanging, since Burroughs intended to write a sequel. He never did.Sad to report, these have never been assembled into an omnibus edition, likeThe Complete Chronicles of Conan, or even a series of similar-looking tomes, such as was vouchsafed to E. E. "Doc" Smith'sTriplanetary (The Lensman).
