Good writing. Good story. But too long. And no good dramatic

Excalibur has ended up in the Nightside in the hands of John Taylor (who is, even to his surprise, the new Walker) - and no one is all that pleased about it. Even him. But it turns out that he is the only person who can turn the sword over to the only person who can stop the war between the elves that will end up destroying all of the Nightside - and eventually - all of humanity. Really, a fun book in the great Nightside tradition.

"The Warlord of Mars" (1914) is the 3rd of ll John Carter novels from the pen of Edgar Rice Burroughs. It is a direct continuation of the first two in the series--"A Princess of Mars" and "The Gods of Mars"--and a reading of those earlier titles is absolutely essential before going into this one. Here, Carter tries to rescue his princess, Dejah Thoris, from the clutches of some particularly nasty villains. In his relentless pursuit, one that makes Indiana Jones look like a slacker, Carter travels from the south pole of Mars to the forbidden lands of the north. He encounters many varieties of monster, such as the apt and the sith, and gets into more fights and cliffhanging situations than a reader would believe could be packed into a mere 160 pages. The pace of the book is furious, never pausing for breath, and the final battle in the north polar city of Kadabra, in which the combined armies of Barsoomian green, red and black men attack the yellow tribes of the north, is thrilling in the extreme. What amazing films these first three John Carter novels would make, if done faithfully and with the requisite $200+ million thrown into each one! So why the 3-star rating? Well, there are numerous problems with the book that prevent me from giving it top grades, despite the fun I had reading it. For one, there are countless inconsistencies and implausibilities. For example, it is difficult for the reader to accept that Carter's enemies cannot recognize him, just because he has smeared some red tint over his skin. Difficult to believe that Carter is able to scale the side of a tower in the pitch black of night. Difficult to believe that Carter (or any man) could live in a pit for nine days without food and especially water. Verrry hard to believe that Thurid, Carter's archenemy, could carry the struggling captive princess over a foot-wide ledge without toppling into the abyss beneath. Impossible to believe that Dejah Thoris couldn't recognize Carter by his voice alone, despite his yellow-man disguise. All these are hard to swallow in the extreme. As for the inconsistencies: It is stated that Carter saved Thuvia from the Warhoons in book 2, when in actuality it was Carthoris, Carter's son. The city of Kaol is said to be rendered invisible by the forest that surrounds and tops it, but later it is stated that this forest is cut back from the city. Huh? Worst of all is the aforementioned tower-scaling scene, in which dusk becomes early afternoon in a matter of minutes. Here's something that Ed Wood would have appreciated! This day/night confusion is straight out of "Plan 9," but for me is the hallmark of incredibly sloppy writing and even poorer copyediting. Further, Burroughs' descriptions of the Valley of the Therns, and its geographic proximity to the land of the First Born, are simply impossible to visualize. Throw in a bunch of misplaced modifiers and some awkward turns of phrase and you've got a real mess of a manuscript. So why did I have a tear in my eye by the book's end, when Carter gets his rewards and the entire city of Helium turns out to greet him? I guess that the power of storytelling can outweigh petty matters of consistency and grammar. And Burroughs WAS a great teller of tales, and this book IS as thrilling as they come.

I really love the banter between Halt, Will, and Horace. I was literally smiling through the book. The story moved a bit slower than some of the previous books. However, it was still a good and very enjoyable story.

This book is written by a woman with ALS as she is dying. Very sad.

This was one of those books I had always heard mentioned and was glad to have an excuse to read/listen to it. In some ways this book reminded me of Angela's Ashes - with the family doomed to an endless cycle of poverty b/c of the father's alcoholism and gambling. But this book (being fiction rather than an autobiography) was more hopeful than Angela's Ashes. I was very surprised at how modern the themes of the book sounded, considering it was written in 1943. The themes included premarital sex, war protests, racism, poverty, pedophilia, etc.

I thought that the idea of this book was good, but the author dragged the issue out for way too long. Cultural sensitivity is a very important issue, especially in medicine, but the book does not evoke much sympathy for cultural sensitivity. Some of the examples that the author uses fail to demonstrate how doctors could have better handled the situation. I thought that the book as a whole was critical, but lacked a coherent solution.
