Gulliver of Mars Hardcover – February 1, 2008. Gulliver gets to Mars, and while that may seem exciting, about 30% of the book is over-describing what he sees (which, in the land of Seth, is not that much different than Earth) as well as waiting about because the people of Seth are, well, lazy. However, shortly after Princess Heru is taken away, the book picks up.

I landed, stiff enough as you will guess, but pleased to be on shoreagain. It was a melancholy neighbourhood of low islands, overgrownwith rank grass and bushes, salt water encircling them, and insidesandy dunes and hummocks with shallow pools, gleaming ghostly in theretreating daylight, while beyond these rose the black bosses of whatlooked like a forest.

A highly unscientific swashbuckling tale of Mars.

y rankling in my heart, picked my way homeward by a short cut through the dismalness of a New York slum I longed for steak and stout, slippers and a pipe, with all the pathetic keenness of a troubled soul. It was a wild, black kind of night, and the weirdness of it showed up as I passed from light to light or crossed the mouths of dim alleys leading Heaven knows to what infernal dens of mystery and crime even in this latter-day city of ours. A highly unscientific swashbuckling tale of Mars. I skipped 90% of the non-dialogue text and hardly missed a nuance of the story.

Mars -- a planet of ruined cities, ancient peoples, copper-skinned swordsmen, and weird and awesome monsters! Here is a princess to be rescued, a River of Death, and a strange prophecy to be fulfilled by a man from Earth!

The writing in the later chapters is deserving of five stars, but the ridiculously slow pacing of the first chapters knocked a star off.

Gulliver gets to Mars, and while that may seem exciting, about 30% of the book is over-describing what he sees (which, in the land of Seth, is not that much different than Earth) as well as waiting about because the people of Seth are, well, lazy.

However, shortly after Princess Heru is taken away, the book picks up. The narrative turns into a lively adventure, and Gulliver's motives and personality are often witty and hilarious (and only sometimes heroic). After that point, the landscapes change as well, and the book gets much more interesting as he ventures across the sea and rivers to lands of ice and ancient forests.

I highly recommend this book, so long as you can force yourself to slog through to the 40% mark. You'll have a hard time putting the book down after that.

Chuynopana

I read this after having finished Allan Moore's league of extraordinary gentlemen volume 2 and must say I was not disappointed. While this isn't serious literature by any means, it is reminiscent of H.G. Wells "the Time Machine" in style and was altogether an amusing read.

doesnt Do You

This is a whimsical yarn that moves along at a good pace. Varied characters, societies, and landscapes did much to add to the richness of the narrative.
Some readers will find the writing somewhat stilted. To those, I would like to recommend keeping a dictionary close to hand as this read is sure to expand your vocabulary.
I am recommending this work to everyone interested in early science fiction action adventures in the manner of Edgar Rice Burroughs.

WOGY

This is supposed to be the book that directed Edgar Rice Burroughs to place his hero John Carter on Mars. But in this case our hero doesn't measure up to Carter in any sense. However, Arnolds other book, Phra the Phonecian does meet Carters requirements. Legend says ERB used the location from Gulliver, and the hero from Phra to create his series. If so, well, you just have to read the genesis of ERB's world, even if it isn't all that much of a page turner.

from earth

Thoroughly enjoyed this little bit of nonsense. I had never heard of it until I saw it on Amazon and read the reviews and how similar it is to Burroughs works. To think that it was written in 1905, wow! The price couldn't have been any better either: free. Thank you to whomever converted it into e-book form.

Nuadazius

This was a good book in the classic sci-fi tradition. It is a good read for anyone who likes the sci-fi genre. Read and enjoy!

Kelerana

The early 20th century wording is different and takes a few pages to get used to. The story line is quaint. Gulliver is very much the navy gentleman of his time. He thinks nothing of going off on his own to rescue the damsel in distress. He faces his foes with bravery and plumb and, of course, rescues the girl. It is not a page turner, but not bad for a purely entertaining novel.

Its a Kindle so delivery is very quick, If you liked John Carter you will like this,overall a good yarn
