Reading: A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs Part One

Rena McGee

Because of the John Carter movie coming out, I decided to do a Re-read of A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Burroughs is not one of my favorite authors because of reasons. I have tried reading the original Tarzan books and have not been able to do that because Tarzan in the stories is a massively annoying tool. (I did like some of the old Tarzan movies and also the cartoon, but I hate the stories.) John Carter is also a massive tool but is somehow more readable to me than Tarzan.

First, let's talk about planetary romance, because that's what A Princess of Mars is.

This is the first part of a by-chapter synopsis of A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs. I started it back in February, got sidetracked by other projects and took it back up after I got to see John Carter. (Which was an awesome movie/reboot.)
