Okay, I think this definitively answers the “are the Barsoomians really naked” question.

Loved the series so much, I had to name my girl Woola. 💜 Anyone else out there name their animals from books?

xicanti My dog came with his name, but I‘ve always assumed his first family named him after the title character in “Casey At the Bat.” 4y

HollyBahling @Rissa1 so many good ones! Our dog was almost Sherlock so I have a special place in my heart for that one. 4y
HollyBahling @Susanita I still need to read The Hobbit. I‘m embarrassed to say it‘s still in my TBR! 4y
HollyBahling @xicanti I didn‘t know about this poem! And there are a lot of Casey‘s in my life. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! 4y

We follow John Carter, a soldier, when he suddenly finds himself on the Red Planet. I loved the symbolism, where the Tharks are like the Native Americans and their enemies are described as "the big white apes". I didn't really like the way Dejah Thoris, the female main character, is described purely as a physical object to admire. We get it, she is attractive, move on already. If you're into sci-fi, this is a must-read.

A good mix of action, science fiction, and romance. Normally I am not the type to say this, but when the book refocused on the romance, thats when I enjoyed it the most. The only real complaint I have is that some of the descriptions were a little vague at times. 8/10
