Book 67 of 2015 is A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
The first book in the John Carter series is much better than the movie. Considering it was written in the early 1900s, this is a very good book. Much better than War of the Worlds in writing, that I often rant about with much dislike and was written in a similar era.
Written in the first person from Carter's point of view, the read was easy and not as predictable as I was expecting.
The world created will draw me back at some stage but not soon.
3 giant leaps forward for mankind out of 5.
Should I read this? Only if you like sci-fi. If not, do not bother starting here.
What did I learn? Tom Cruise does no justice to anything and anyone. Don't watch the John Cater movie.
