I 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.

I 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.

iTunes books doesn't work on my computer

Once started, it was impossible to stop reading on. The story just draws you in and keeps you turning the pages til the very end.

A Princess of Mars is the first book. It was originally titled Under the Moons of Mars.

If 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.

On one hand the stories are great on the other hand, these are all free books on the iBook store

As 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.

These books are already available for free on iTunes... No reason to spend even a penny. The books are really good. Good and Free!

I 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.
