An active and attention gripping saga, Rainbow's End is peppered with remorseless murder, sailing, danger, deadly chases, and much more. Rainbow's End... | positive |
1 | An outstanding series of essays | Though written some time back this collection is an outstanding series of essays on Jewish thinkers. | positive |

0 | Trying to get in touch with dealer and no success and not the only one | When I received the Caravaggio book I knew immediately that I was not satisfied. The condition was listed as "good" but the binding was ripped. I contacted Amazon immediately and was told to contact the dealer. I was given a number to call but did not reach a person, I left a written request for information about retur... | negative |
1 | One of the best live albums ever | This is quite simply one of the very best live albums ever. Plain and simple! | positive |
0 | Noel even admitted its rubbish | Oasis dogged it on this album.... Be Here Now and Dya Know What I Mean are the only 2 songs on here that don't drive you mad. It's still a fun album to own for like a month, but after that it will collect dust. I don't know what it is about Oasis, but their songs just tire very easily, unlike the songs of say, U2. Anyw... | negative |
0 | WHAT A SHAME! | They are sold out but made a loooooong album..... Has anybody listened to the full CD without pulling the "stop"buttom of your CD player??? | negative |
0 | Bombastic over-indulgent arrogant rock star cliches | There have been many comparisons of Oasis to the Beatles, often by the band itself; but Noel Gallagher cannot draw the distinction between inspiration and imitation. On their first two albums, they got away with mere imitation just because they came up with some pretty infectious melodies. But on this album, the melodi... | negative |
1 | Best CD for those new to Oasis | I feel that this, and Morning Glory (the CD that Oasis put out before this one) are the best CDs for those new to Oasis.Why? This is the last CD Oasis made with the core of the original band.Also, Noel is writing very long dreamy heavy rock songs and rock ballads that are well-crafted, yet that go nowhere and in circle... | positive |
0 | Very disappointing | When Oasis is good, they have catchy lyrics and well thought out arrangements.But when they're bad,they sound annoyingly loud and rushed.This cd shares a bit of each.With good tracks like D'You Know What I Mean,All Around the World, and Don't Go Away, you wonder how they made the crappy My Big Mouth,I Hope I Think I Kn... | negative |
1 | My Favourite Oasis Album | Although many people prefer Morning Glory, this is my favourite Oasis album. I love the heavy, and to me very interesting production. The layered guitars, sound effects, keyboards and percussion create a marvellously powerful 'wall of sound'. I like all the songs on this record but the highlights for me are Do You Know... | positive |
0 | Hasn't anyone noticed yet? | Yeah, Oasis defined a period with Wonderwall, and yeah they had a few good tunes on the first two albums. But haven't you all noticed you can play Wonderwall and Live Forever directly over all of these tracks? I give'em 2 for being consistent. | negative |
1 | Just Perfect | It was just as I expected, arrived aearly and it was as they said it will be, it's just perfect | positive |
1 | Oasis's Pepper | This was actually better than what most will tell you. And considering the time frame for they're favorite group this has to be considered this group's Masterpiece.Simply put some of us were not waiting for Morning Glory 2. And the imagination put forth on this is simply stunning. "Magic Pie" is unmatched for sound and... | positive |
0 | Rather dull and boring to listen to | A big disappointment after Morning Glory.Some tracks are engrossing but the rest is a lack effort. | negative |
0 | A Disappointing Follow-Up | Oasis achieved phenomenal success with the release of their 1995 album "(What's the Story) Morning Glory," but then followed the unfortunate trend of having their next album suffer. Still, "Be Here Now" has its moments. The best song on here is obviously "All Around the World". It's long, pretentious, and has a stunnin... | negative |
1 | An underated masterpiece | Personally i feel this album has not got its just deserves. I am a huge Oasis fan and although not quite as good as Whats the Story morning glory, it certianly comesa close. Nearly all the tracks are superb with stand by me, i hope i think i know, dont go away and all around the world taking the front line. This album ... | positive |
1 | A very good album, but songs don't stick like other albums. | When I first listened to this album, I thought it was the best Oasis album there was, but as I kept listening, I figured out that this album was missing something. It didn't contain songs that stuck in my head that I wanted to keep listening to like (WTS)MG? and Definitely Maybe did have. It was dissapointing to see th... | positive |
0 | Too long and nothing new to say | Listening to What's the Story Morning Glory, you could still believe that, magically, Oasis had somehow channeled a bit of the Sixties soul. There was, somehow, a sense of mystery and fun in the production. But now they give us overlong B-sides without emotion, sense or creativity. Only "D'you know what I mean" and "Do... | negative |
0 | Sentimental & Depressing | Was having a tough day when ordering this. Music from teenage years. These were songs I liked back in the day. However, compared to most of the other music I have or listen to, Oasis is a downer. If I can get past the depressing quality of the music, it's fine.Find different, less depressing music. | negative |
1 | Oasis | oasis is a very talented British rock band reminds me of the early days of the British invasion of the sixties somewhat like a mix of the Beatles and the Rolling stones.Be here now by oasis,is a overall good album so if you,re into British rock? I recommend it and give it 4 stars. | positive |
1 | Underated album, probably my favorite Oasis cd | I don't know why this album is regarded as one of Oasis's lesser albums. In my opinion it is their best album, and tends to be the album in which I still listen to the most. It is probably Oasis's hardest most heavy album with songs like "My Big Mouth", "I hope, I think, I Know", "it's gettin better man", and "D'you Kn... | positive |
0 | Wake Me Up Please... | I want to start out by stating the fact, I love Oasis. Be Here Now is a major disappointment from this sometimes brilliant band.Hype is what drove this band into the spotlight. When you have everbodys attention, you HAVE to perform well.What's The Story Morning Glory was released and it seemed anyone with a good traine... | negative |
1 | Mostly Great Stuff! | Man I have to tell you people that you are way to harsh. This album is almost the best Oasis ever. If it wasn't for My Big Mouth and maybey I Hope I Think I Know. Other than that it is great. The song Magic Pie has to be my favorite Oasis song it is mesmorizing. The line, "those who don't say what they mean live and di... | positive |
1 | craaaazy tasty ( i mean ahem pardon my punchiness)...a great brit-rcok album!! | yeah, you must pardon me as it is late as i'm typing this, but anyway you gotta give the gallagher brothers a hand for really finalizing their compelling, moving britpop finesse on this album, making it possibly one of the greatest albums of any time ever...only a band like Radiohead could compete with the beauty of th... | positive |
0 | One of the worst albums EVER. | I'm never a nasty person, and I know that on his day Noel Gallagher writes not just classic songs like Cigarettes and Alcohol but whole albums of them like Definitely Maybe. But PLEASE! This was so mind-numbingly awful that by the time I got to the eighth track I wanted to (JOKING!!!!) get that guitar and WRAP IT ROUND... | negative |
1 | Fade the songs! | This album could have been a 5 stars album if only they had finished every song after 5 minutes of playing. Good songs, but nothing that justifies playing them for 7 or 8 minutes. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 3 is because Stand by me is one of the greatest songs by Oasis, a classic. I like the big guit... | positive |
0 | Be - Ware Now | what's wrong with "Be Here Now"?in short, it's too longnearly every song is two, three, four minutes longer than it needs to bealso many people may have difficulty relating to the theme of egomania that runs through many of the songsor perhaps it's just that the album lacks balancenot enough variation from the grandios... | negative |
1 | Masterful rock, brilliant melodies | Still Listening to this CD nearly 2 years later. Great, memorable tunes that are standing up to the test of time for me. I'd say, with out a doubt, that if you're a rock fan who likes great melodies, this CD is a definitive must-buy for your collection if you don't have it already...as a matter of fact, even if you hav... | positive |
1 | An awesome Rock N' Roll album, from a great band!! | "Be Here Now" is for sure the best Oasis album. It has their greatest songs, and it shows how well they can make music.When I bought this CD I wasn't sure if I was going to like, but after I listened to songs like "D'You Know What I Mean?", "All Around The World", "Stand By Me", and the title track "Be Here Now", I saw... | positive |
0 | What happened Oasis????? | This is Oasis at there worst.....This album is just too horrid, Bad lyrics, boring songs, same sounds, nothing new. Amazing that a talaented Noel Gallager would make an album like this. This a;bum i sjust to overplayed and it is also plagued with too much solos. There are solos, and too much solos. Noel over does it on... | negative |
0 | Meatloaf for the 90s | This album is a bloated, boring mess. The songs are overlong and overloud--they remind me more of Meatloaf than anything else. I can't believe this is the same band that created the brilliant "(What's the Story) Morning Glory"....Avoid this ridiculous album at all costs. | negative |
0 | They are the has beens and wanna bees | hmmm...just think....Noel, a brilliant man, maKING A CD that is just crap. What happened!!!!! I can't believe it....over played solos....awful lryics!!!!! Just when you think they could make another brilliant album, they make a crappy album. Haaa...just think.... 4 yrs ago Blur was being called the has beens because Oa... | negative |
0 | Dissapointing | When I heard the Morning Glory I was expecting a great third album but....No!. This album shows no evolution in the music of Oasis and is like they want to sound the same in every song. The tracks are boring, the voice of Liam really makes you sleep, the guitar tones never change except in the acoustic tracks. The bass... | negative |
0 | Get over yourselves, please. | The Gallagher bros. are so full of themselves that they subject their fans to this mess of rehashed 70's rock. Every tune here is about 20 minutes long- if you would dig an entire album of "Hey Jude" and "You Can't Always Get..." here it is. Oasis' lyrics have always been pretty throwaway but here they are banally Hall... | negative |
0 | A boring album | The first track is the only listenable song on this entire album. The rest of the songs are incredibly boring and show little effort. If you like to pass the time by staring at a blank wall, your attention span might be able to handle this. Otherwise, look elsewhere. | negative |
0 | Be Somewhere Else Now | Bland, boring, nasal, banal, lyrically bankrupt, musically sophomorish, imitative, empty, hollow, stupid, not worthy of the CD pressing -- let alone comparison to the Beatles. There, I think that covers it. | negative |
0 | Seriously Overrated Album Turned Telephone Commercial!!! | Oasis arrogance is way out of proportion to their actual talent which is miniscule. If you want something real buy any album from The Beatles or the Beach Boys. This is music for people that get excited about strip malls. | negative |
0 | Hmmmmmmmmmm..............lets get blur's new album instead | I can see what Noel is tring to do on this album, hes tring to keep the rock/pop theme but slow it down a bit. It didnt work,He ended up with a lot of boring, annoying noise.The best tracks on the album are:1. Stand by me2. Fade in-out3. It's gettin' better manThe ones to avoid are:1. My Big Mouth (pathetic)2. The girl... | negative |
0 | This is what beatles sounded when they were stoned | Incredible bad musicians, terrible song writers, the worst vocalist ever, what else can I say?They totally destroyed what the Beatles created for all of us. All of their songs are copied from The Beatles' Rubber Soul, Revolver and Abbey Road. Please do not buy this cd! I recommend you to buy good alternative rock if yo... | negative |
1 | Alternate title = I'll try if i want to | It could be described as a case of "Why did they do that?", because although Be Here Now is a great album, it is tarnished by musical blemishes such as Don't go away and The girl in the dirty shirt. But we forgive Be Here Now of it's weaker points because of its strong ones. These strong points include D'You Know What ... | positive |
1 | Only one word can describe it...Unbelievable! | This, Oasis' third album, will forever raise the bar to which records are judged. "Be Here Now" exhibits a new found maturity that was lacking in the past two albums. Every track is massive. From the heart pounding "D'You Know What I Mean?", through the psychedelic "All Around The World", and culminating in the feel-go... | positive |
1 | New Sound | If you want the best Oasis for the Oasis sound, purchase "Definately Maybe" or "The Masterplan." If you want a great album of a different sound, buy "Be Here Now." The band was on its best behavior and performance, taking the time to make 12 quality tracks.Some of the top tracks, "D'You Know What I Mean," "Fade In/Out"... | positive |
1 | best cd ever made | Be Here now is the best cd ever made. This cd exploits Oasis's musical talent to the fullest with tracks like " D' You Know What I Mean " and "All Around The World". Every song on this cd could be in the #1 spot on Billboard. Noel Gallagher's musical mastery is shown in the combination of orchestra and rock in "All Aro... | positive |
1 | Good old-fashioned rock and roll... | This is one of my favorite CD's. Noel Gallagher knows how to write a song, and Liam's sexy voice brings them to life. Tracks 1-6, and 8 are the only tunes I listen to, however. Be Here Now is not one of those rare CD's you can listen to without skipping around. But, the songs I like don't get tired. If you want a hard-... | positive |
1 | A few excellent songs shine through the retreads | This album should have been great. It should have been the best album of the 1990s. However, the band doesn't seem nearly as motivated and hungry as before. Some songs are just too long, too familiar and too boring. But, songs like "D'You Know what I mean" and "Fade In/Out" among others are well done songs that feature... | positive |
0 | Go away, dog | The book "Go away, Dog" by author Joan L. Nodset and pictures by Paul Meisel is teaching children to mean to dogs. For example, page 5 yells at the dog saying "Go away, you bad old dog. The author should be teaching kids to be nice to animals. This book should be banded from the children's book store. | negative |
1 | Love, love this Book | We first checked this book out at the library. My child, 2 at the time, giggle and laughed, especially when the dog licks the boy's hand. We had to buy our own copy. I later used this book with a neighbor boy who was terrified of dogs. It showed him that the little boy in the book gave the dog a chance and so should he... | positive |
0 | Nah .... | If you have access to templates, or internet @ home etc. this book is not useful. I really don't understand the great reviews here. I think that someone could get the same information by strolling the internet for resume tips. Perhaps the information used on some websites is taken from this book. This is a petite to th... | negative |
1 | tough plane! | This plane is build with EPP foam, which absorbs shock from unexpected encounters:1) I planted the plane nose-first into the grass following a hand launch; the spinner broke off but the plane was otherwise good to go.2) I flew into some tree branches at full speed; the canopy popped off, the plane got jostled around, t... | positive |
1 | Psi-Ops: Mindgate Conspiracy | Awesome game. Great mix of psionic powers and guns. Lots of "style points" available by using a mix of your powers to kill the enemies. It does remind me of the Jedi Knights series of games, but those were great, too. The mind drain power shows a head bursting animation reminiscent of the Scanners movies. Definitely we... | positive |
0 | THIS GAME SUCKS!! | I mean it is really sweet to have super psiquic powers , but damn it the story line sucks!! And you suddenly start fighting strange creatures, it just doesn't fit!! | negative |
1 | Tesla | I have always liked Tesla and I bought this album to listen to the acoustic recordings. The best is catching them live! | positive |
0 | Enjoy The Retirement Billy! | I used to wish Billy would go back to his bread and butter and record another pop/rock album. Forget about the classical stuff and go back to what made him what he became - one of the best songwriters to come out of the 70's. And to not let the forgettable River Of Dreams album be his last say on the pop/rock world. Bu... | negative |
0 | This is what we waited fourteen years for? | Billy Joel, the greatest songwriter of his generation, really fell on his nose with this one. The lyrics, which consist of one trite phrase after another, are set to a rather pedestrian melody that doesn't take the listener anywhere. The only thing that makes this song even marginally listenable is the orchestral arran... | negative |
0 | Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh maybe zero stars | What happens with Billy? It is the age what it has affected? Why it wants to be the cartoon of Sinatra?Honestly I continue waiting the return of great pop rock or good new wave rock of Glass Houses! But Billy sadly very sadly your music is made for old man's lovers of Sinatra. Argggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... | negative |
0 | Billy has turned into Rod Stewart... | Sounds like it should be in a Meg Ryan romantic comedy.Did they intentionally try to erase his personality? Sounds like it was produced in Nashville! This should be a demo for another singer to record.It's just too schmaltzy for me. I think Phil Ramone may be slipping too. Billy is a much better singer than this.After ... | negative |
1 | Another Friend in the Book Case | Good programming books are not rampant. Manning tends to be a great source, however. They've done it again with this book. And, this time, they have the added attraction of a great, adult sense of humour with Shawn Bayern. If you cannot use JSTL with ease after reading this book, then you will be in the minority. I don... | positive |
1 | Very useful and understandable | While the technical specification of JSTL is readable like most hi-tech documents are "readable" (i.e. it left me sometimes a bit puzzled), this book is both deep and full of very useful examples. Sometimes, in my opinion it goes too far (programming a message board with JSTL), but this only goes to show how powerful J... | positive |
1 | Good Resource all things considered | This is a good book to learn about how to use JSTL. It has an excellent reference section, and the body of the book explains how to use the JSTL tags with many good example. On the whole, a very useful, readable book. One negative: The author has a sense of humor which some might find odd, and he interjects it througho... | positive |
1 | An entertaining, fun adventure all the way | 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 superhum... | positive |
1 | ERB Finally Makes LIBRARY OF AMERICA w/A Princess of Mars! | This Library of American edition of A Princess of Mars is a beautiful book! It's about time Edgar Rice Burroughs, one of the USA's bestselling authors for about 20-25 years starting in 1914, had one of his books published by the Library of America. LOA has also published Tarzan of the Apes.I have the 1st edition of A P... | positive |
0 | good story, weak character development | It's an interesting story, and he describes the martian flora and fauna very well, but there are some things that are glossed over (like what happened in the cave) and the only character that is explored with any depth is Jon Carter. | negative |
1 | An escapist reading classic | I originally read these books in my early teens. It is an escapist guilty pleasure to revisit them in my 50's. Campy, but classic. I'd highly recommend for anyone who enjoys sci-fi/adventure tails. | positive |
1 | Fantastic look at the Literature that Was | John Carter of Mars was one of my favorite all time heroes, ranking right up there with Conan, Elric of Melnibone, and of course Tarzan. I read it as a teenager, and recently read it again, and was again amazed by the story. Of course Burroughs didn't believe in that Mars anymore than anyone else. It was nonetheless gr... | positive |
1 | Classic Sci Fi Fun | Somehow John Carter manages to go to Mars, and when he gets there, he finds out that he is physically stronger than the warlike martians that happen to dwarf him in size. He uses that strength, and the convenient fact that the also telepathic martians can't read his mind, to dominate a clan of green martians and win a ... | positive |
1 | Enjoyable, fast-paced read | My first time reading Burroughs. Thoroughly enjoyed this book, even with the occasional and distracting techno/biological inconsistencies...an excusable byproduct of the times. Great imaginative story with a good deal of unexpected twists. Fun, quick-paced reading that will hold your interest throughout. | positive |
1 | Recently reunited with a long lost friend | 30 years ago, when I was 14, I read this book from cover to cover in a day. Action of this sort was new to me & I was hooked on it. I could not get enough of John Carter & his adventures and read all the books in the series. John Carter was a real hero and what boy becoming a man didn't want to be just like Carter? Whi... | positive |
1 | Shame on the publishers | The Martian Tales of Edgar Rice Burroughs get the highest marks, best reviews, they are labelled as the treshold of present day science fiction and science fantasy. Presently nobody seems to be interested in printing these fabulous stories. I wonder why ? Maybe it's because nobody has ever written stories that can be r... | positive |
0 | Coulda been wonderful BUT... | I was SO looking forward to renewing my acquaintance with the old-timey but not campy hero John Carter of Mars... only I sure won't be doing it via this Kindle book! The chapters in this Kindle version are in a totally haphazard order and virtually impossible to follow. Somebody was asleep at the switch or maybe the sc... | negative |
1 | Great Read | Had a hard time putting the book down. I liked the pace of the storyline and greatly enjoyed the creativity with landscapes and characters. | positive |
1 | A classic of fiction | John Carter, Warlord of Mars, is one of the best known characters of early Science Fiction.The world of Mars, as described is lush, violent and beautiful. It's not logical, but who cares?This is a review of the free Kindle edition, and if you like fantasy or science fiction, you owe it to yourself to try this. | positive |
0 | Not a Little Boy | "A Princess of Mars" reads like a superhero comix. John Carter, a warrior on Earth, becomes a super-warrior on Mars because he weighs less there. He conquers aliens, wins the heart of a princess, and fathers an egg with her. As a fantasy for little boys, it's great. As literature for an adult woman, I'd give it a miss. | negative |
1 | Antique book | Purchase was smooth, delivery prompt and well packaged. The book's condition was excellent for its age. | positive |
1 | JOHN CARTER OF MARS BETTER THAN ANY JEDI KNIGHT! | A PRINCES OF MARS IS A THRILLING SWASH BUCKELINGSTAR WARS TYPE BOOK WITH ROMANCEADD FOR FLOVER, IT IS ONE OF THE BEST OF THE SERIES EVEN BETTER THAN TARZAN, IF YOU LIKE SI FIFANNISY,YOU WILL LIKE THIS BOOK IT IS A GREAT ADVENTER STORYOF NO COMPARE! EXECTING ,FILLED WITH ACTION! | positive |
1 | free and easy | love to download free classic books but I don't like being required to write a certain number of words to post a review. | positive |
1 | A classic that modeled the rest | After reading A Princess of Mars, I realized that it is the model for science-fiction/fantasy. The story is still fresh, and Burroughs captured the ideas of inventing alien or fantasy cultures. Some authors have taken the concept further (e.g. Flash Gordon, Star Wars) and others have made a mockery of the model (e.g. C... | positive |
1 | Classic Fantastic Sci-Fi | I know the book/series is dated, but it's still a terrific read. This man was so far ahead of his time in imagination and futuristic ideas. I read many of his books as a kid and it has been a treat to read this one again. The chivalry and romance and epic adventure is classic even if the "science" is entirely BS. Burro... | positive |
0 | No idea what this is | This is something that's been on my list for months and I have no idea what it is, it sends me to a non-existent link. | negative |
0 | Narrator destroys the greatest book ! | The John Carter of Mars series of books, by my favorite author of all time, Edgar Rice Burroughs, is his best series.I was so excited to receive the audio version of this book, but when I listened to it, I was hoorified !John Carter sounded like a wimp. A girly Southerner, not at all the swashbuckling hero I envisioned... | negative |
0 | A PRINCESS OF MARS | I ENJOYED THE BOOK VERY MUCH. IT WAS WELL SPACED AND EASY FOR AN ELDERLY PERSON TO READ. THE ONLY FAULT I FIND IS I THOUGHT I WOULD RECEIVE THE DUST COVER AS SHOWN IN THE ADD.I TRIED TO BE CAREFUL IN READING THE DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOK AND WAS SURE THAT IT CAME AS IT WAS PICTURED IN THE ADD. | negative |
1 | A Princess of Mars | A writing style that was prevalant in its time. Very much the boys adventure style with the hero being the best at everything. A real pleasure to read a simple direct adventure yarn. | positive |
1 | Greatest book since I read the Tarzan novels | Aside from Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan novels no other book has captured my imagination like John Carter has. I'm not much of a book reader and loved all of the Tarzan novels and have every one of them in origianl print and since I have read A princess of Mars I am looking forward to purchasing the whole Barsoom serie... | positive |
1 | John Carter the movie. | This is the book that the 2012 movie John Carter was based on. Of course the books and the movies differ but it was a good book and very enjoyable. The language was early 19th century and quite pleasant for a change. | positive |
1 | A Princess of Mars | A Princess of Mars is an old SF story which I had not read in many year and which I still enjoy. | positive |
1 | A Princes of Mars | .Good fast paced read. Lots of action. Easy to picture the battle scenes and various people of Mars.Vivid images of the landscapes came easy. | positive |
1 | A Princess of Barsoom | "I have never told this story nor shall mortal man see this manuscript until I have passed over for eternity. I know that the average human mind will not believe what it can not grasp......"Written in 1912 this book is well written for its time and has intrigued countless generations of readers. I get the feeling that ... | positive |
1 | A classic, revisited after many years | 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... | positive |
1 | Genius | Far ahead of his time, Burroughs' tales are full of action, vivid description, and an incredible story telling ability. In a word: Wow | positive |
1 | Fun story from the free ebook list | I have this as a paperback but didn't want to dig it out of storage before seeing John Carter of Mars. I wanted to refresh my memory of this fun story. It is a dry narration of John Carter's experience. As I was thinking, the movie butchered the story. I originally read this story in junior high along with the entire s... | positive |
1 | Great! | My son loved reading this after he watched John Carter the movie. Thank you for making this easily available for him. | positive |
1 | Better than the movie | This is a quick read and fast moving book. Don't watch the movie too you've read it. The movie barely does it justice...unique book I would recommend to all | positive |
1 | A good read | For a first story written almost a century ago. It is an interesting look back on life pre-knowledge of what Mars is really like. | positive |
1 | Classic Sci-fi | This is a classic scifi book.. I'd recommend it as a must have for any Kindle collection! Its entertaining, fun to read and is one of my favorite books which I can read again and again | positive |
1 | Different than John Carter, but I still liked it. | After watching and enjoying the movie John Carter, I saw that it was based on A Princess of Mars.The book and the movie have a lot of character similarities, but the story is quite different.I must say that I enjoyed each and would recommend the book to anyone who is a reader and enjoyed the movie. | positive |
1 | Good reading! | It had been a long time since I have read anything better. Would recommend this to any Trekkie! Best book! | positive |
1 | Dated but still very good | I haven't sat down to watch the movie yet, but I thought I would take another look at the source material.Well, it is still a great book. The only thing is that it has been ripped off by so many other franchises.The only problem with the book is Burroughs insistence on creating as many alien races as he can. The amount... | positive |
1 | Just in time for the John Carter movie. | After seeing the preview for the new John Carter movie, I decided to go back and reread the Edgar Rice Burroughs, "Mars" series. I'm glad I did. The thrilling tales of battle, adventure, and love on the red planet are just as great as I remembered them. John Carter is a fantastic hero and his name should be right up th... | positive |
1 | Entertaining Pulp Fiction | Civil War veteran John Carter is carried away to Mars. There, he impresses the giant green Tharks with his hand-to-hand combat skills, falls in love with Princess Dejah Thoris, and has many adventures. Very fun escapist yarn. Totally implausible, but never really asks you to take it seriously. Pure wish-fulfillment her... | positive |
1 | Awesome | This book is awesome. Brings back feelings of hope, love, and adventure. Great days of story telling that are long forgotten. | positive |
