"Entertainingly ageist"
The second in the Barsoom Series (now under the more commercial epithet of "John Carter" and no doubt destined for a sequel movie), EGB's imaginative Martian chronicle is still entertaining nearly 100 years after it was first published in 1914. Sure, it has aged a bit, the language is not all that PC and the swashbuckler has a limited reading audience, but for me it still resonates of my childhood as I described it in the review of the first book.
More importantly, I felt like Scott Brick got more into the role in Book 2, although his narration skill is still his strong point. The introduction of new characters gave him more scope and the content suits his style, in my opinion.
Again, I have probably overrated the story and the overall effect for sentimental reasons, but given its length (just over 8 1/2 hours) and the fantasy release of the listen (especially when compared to Dostoevsky, which was my last two listens), I am sure to move onto Book 3 in due course.0 of 0 people found this review helpful
