Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875 - 1950) was an American writer, best known for his creations of the jungle hero Tarzan and the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, although he produced works in many genres. The first five novels are in the public domain in U.S., but are still under copyright laws in most of the rest of the world. Ten sequels followed over the next three decades, further extending his vision of Barsoom and adding other characters. The first Barsoom tale was serialized as Under the Moons of Mars in 1912, and published as a novel as A Princess of Mars in 1917. What can I say? It's what Virginians and most southern Americans do.Mars series are the books created by the American pulp fiction author Edgar Rice Burroughs. He sounds exactly right, despite being one serious butcher of spoken English. However, of all the readers, he sounds a lot like an actual, back water, basackwards, Virginian and not British or television American. So, if you're big on exacting pronunciation, forget about it, Peter Delloro is not ever going to be your guy. Words such as "stygian" become "st(eye)gian" and "succor" becomes "sue-core" instead of "suckor". Even should a Virginian have a large vocabulary, it is often that they still do not know how to speak them properly. While this is not true of all Virginians, it is true of most so, the reading kinda fits. I found it appropriate because, having lived near Virginia, southern people have absolutely no idea how to speak words properly. However, it should be noted that, Peter Delloro's performance is chocked full of mispronounced words.
I enjoyed this and the first two books, as well as the performance.
