Reviews
Wonderful read
4By IndyWoodworkerI read the John Carter of Mars series back in University always hoping it would be a movie. I was not disappointed with the Disney version in the theater. I decided to read the series again and re-live the adventures of John Carter. "I still live.". The series is excellent.Good But!!!
4By Jimp0222I loved the books about John Carter but I rely the books about his son and daughter were just a different Version of the same story. John carter and his love. His son and his love and his daughter and who she loved same thing with some little twist. I give it 4 stars but really it should be 3 and a half. Well written stories and I enjoined the books but by the end I was ready for it to be over. John carter parts kept me very intrested I wanted to see how he got out each problem. To bad the others were to much of the same thing.: (

5By ginfamorA Princess of Mars is the first book. It was originally titled Under the Moons of Mars.Well now!
5By Jimmy5starIf its for free, it's for me! I read these when I was a mere sapling about 40+ years ago. What a treat to re-read! Looking forward to "John Carter" next month in the theater.Conflicted
1By LTurnerOn one hand the stories are great on the other hand, these are all free books on the iBook storeGood deal for a buck.
4By jonricmdAs other reviewers have indicated, these works are now free, public domain. I did not know that before and frankly for a buck, it was worth it to save the time to find them and download them. Read these 5 stories for the content. I think that a lot of us are re-reading this book, having read it when we were in our teens or earlier. (I first read it when I purchased it through the science fiction book club). Yes, it can be somewhat maudlin and hokey at times, but the story is engrossing and enjoyable — you won't want to put it down. John Carter is a hero who is not perfect, but consistent with the period in which it was written, he does not have a "dark side" like more contemporary hero's seem to have. Woven in the the story is the story of love found and lost, found & lost again and found again.Do not pay for this...
1By ttompkiThese books are already available for free on iTunes... No reason to spend even a penny. The books are really good. Good and Free!Wodnerful series of books
5By DigitalDeathI can't believe I didn't know about this series if books. After I read rhe first three I learned about the new Disney movie. I can't wait to watch the movie too.Yes I know these are free
5By Not Clark HowardIt was worth a buck not to have to troll the Internet. Read and enjoy.You *do* know these are free domain, right?
1By MetalhaidI give Edgar Rice Burroughs 100 stars; he is one of the pioneers of sci-fi/ fantasy and one of my favorite authors. But I agree with the above post; with a little searching you can get ALL of ERB, including the Tarzan series, for free. And while I'm ranting, why the heck are some of these books so frickin expensive?? Until they drop the prices, I'll continue to patronize my used book store.Somehow not worth a buck
1By Bill CoffinThis seems like a great deal -- five novels for $0.99 -- until you realize that these are all public domain works. Worse yet, they do not appear to have been formatted any differently than the free versions already available on the iBook store. Had this looked better, I would have bought it.
