Title: An entertaining, fun adventure all the way
Review: I don't generally read science fiction, in fact, I never do. But with all the hype - or lack thereof - surrounding the bombed Disney movie, I decided to read the book before the movie comes out on DVD. Yeah, it's a little silly, but it's still a fun ride all the way. I enjoyed the nonstop action, John Carter's superhuman strength, his gentlemanliness (is that a word?) and his ability to bridge culture gaps and help the locals overcome traditions of hatred and prejudice. He is a southern gentleman to the core. It shows in everything he does, particularly in his absence of lust for the beautiful princess Dejah Thoris though she is buck naked and gorgeous. He adores her totally and completely and treats her like the royal lady she is the whole time.
