Editorial Reviews

Audiobookstoday.com

Narrator Raymond Todd does a straightforward, no-nonsense reading…He handles the tongue-twisting Barsoomian names and places handily.”

AudioFile

Todd’s delivery is well paced, shifting cadence to follow Burroughs’ shifts from war to philosophy. And Thuvia is full of adventure—telepathic warriors, giant apes, true love, and more.”

Kliatt

John Carter and his son are true heroes who are brave, loyal, and chivalrous down to their smallest action. [Raymond Todd] captures the grandeur of Mars and the idealism of these great heroes through the pacing and expression of his reading.”

JUN/JUL 03 - AudioFile

Burroughs loved creating new words to evoke the strangeness of his fictional worlds. Some can barely be pronounced, but Raymond Todd delivers them easily. Likewise, the novel’s dialogue is stiff and marked by the melodramatic conventions of the period, but Todd does the best job possible with it, humanizing it when he can, and declaiming in full oratorical fashion when it’s called for. Todd’s delivery is well paced, shifting cadence to follow Burroughs’s shifts from war to philosophy. And THUVIA is full of adventure--telepathic warriors, giant apes, true love, and more. All of that said, this book will attract relatively few listeners, being fourth in a series and marked by some truly bad prose. G.T.B. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
