Review of 'The Worlds of Edgar Rice Burroughs' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I would have given it 5 stars but, let's face it.... it's Burroughs and there's a bit too much sexism in many of his characters than even I care for. Most of the authors did a very good job of dodging those bullets though, except for the "burroughs scholar" whose story I couldn't even get through it was so full of bad writing, bad plotting and sexism. I highly recommend the hollow world and tarzan stuff in this volume though, as those authors did an amazing job of modernizing the social stuff to be a whole lot more palatable.

Again, would have been 5 stars without the one terrible story and the tendency for the source material to be a bit sexist even for me.
