A while ago my dad got me a book for my iTouch that has all the collected works of Edgar Rice Burroughs. First I read the second Tarzan book called the return of Tarzan. I did the second one first because I read the first one as a book when I was younger. After a while I decided to start the Barsoom series. Barsoom is what the Martians called Mars.
I have finished Princess of Mars, the first book and now I will tell you about it. There is a movie about it coming out soon called John Carter. John Carter is the name of the main character. I suggest reading the book before the movie because it's really good. So it starts out with John carter from Virginia riding with his friend in Arizona. Soon he gets separated. He soon heroically rescues him from and apache camp but he is dead and he hides in a cave.
When he woke up he was paralyzed and it looked like he came out of his body and was almost instantly transported to mars. As he woke up he knew he was on mars. Just as plainly as we know we are on earth he knew he was on mars. He then tried to get up and fell on his face. Soon he managed to get up but he could not walk without falling. In front of him he saw a great number of Martin beasts with tusks and huge teeth. Then he heard something behind him and saw the first of the great green men of Barsoom. A forty foot lance was held before him. What will happen next?
So I greatly encourage you to read this book it is very fun and exciting. I also have read the next book Gods of Mars and you expect that and more blogs on the Warlord of Mars. Bye!
Ashton,
ReplyDeleteSee you on Burroughs, I visited this planet the first time I was abducted. The second time I visited Venus, they call their planet the same as we do. But they all walk around with a foggy greenhouse expression on there greenish faces. I will see you there when you come to visit.

Sounds like you have a mission, Ashton. Gramps might need you. :)
