Title: A classic, revisited after many years
Review: I read the John Carter Martian Series all the way through in my adolecent years, and have always maintained fond memories of the stories. I recently decided to download them to my Kindle and read them again. I was amused at first by the writing (written almost exactly 100 years ago now), not so much for the phrases and words (though they are amusing at times) but the style and the way the characters are portrayed. This is truly a peek at the sensibilities of an older age.However, once you get over (or used to) the over romanticized hero, to whom no danger raises so much as an eyebrow, you will live (or re-live) a classic tale that is nicely told. It is fun as a middle aged adult to again read these stories, suspend all disbelief and scientific knowledge, and just enjoy them for what they are! John Carter made a permanent imprint on me as a kid, and I'm glad to see that it remains still.
