I saw the movie, interested in the story I ordered this book with 5 volumes.
Reading is easy scenes are remarkably imaged we believe ... the author attention to detail and a great imagination,
you have no trouble projecting yourself and travel with an old Southerner John Carter captain during the American Civil War, the planet Barsoom (Mars) to understand the relationship between Tars Tarkas and Sola daughter.
The cycle of Mars is a space opera, those like me who watched the Disney adaptation will see the freedoms we took the Disney studios with the movie adaptation (scriptwriting shortcuts).
The different volumes are of rare freshness, it is well written, total immersion.
The author is the creator of Tarzan (1912) is a literary monster that has inspired many a J. Cameron, P. Jackson, G. Lucas and undoubtedly I. Block (Forbidden Planet).
I suggest you this edition, which will fill you, Amazon once again good service, fast, on a value.
