Love it or hate it, Gor is Gor,
By Chris O'Malley (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Slave Girl of Gor (Paperback)
Someday a literary study of sex slave books is going to be written, and this one is going to stand out as a milestone. This is not to say that "Slave Girl of Gor" is great literature, because it isn't. The writing alternates between tight and clumsy, often wandering into misogynist philosophical rants, and some of these can be downright irrational. But it is one of a group of books that have become both a part of the social canon of BDSM and perhaps the most reviled series in the history of science fiction and fantasy fandom. Yes, it's John Norman's "Gor", and "Slave Girl of Gor" might well be its most sexual and most provocative title.Getting past the rhetoric surrounding the series, this book is actually not that different from a traditional erotic romance novel, except for the more intense bondage elements and the philosophical ramblings that sometimes get in the way of the story. The sex scenes are not extremely explicit but are hot nonetheless: young, beautiful Judy Thorton wakes up one morning to find herself naked and chained on the planet Gor, and she has a variety of erotic and not-so-erotic adventures as she is trained as a pleasure slave and discovers her love for her "true master" and he gets it through his thick skull that he loves her too. It's all rich material for sex slave fantasies, as the widespread internet subculture based on the Gor books testifies. The extent that this series has influenced newer sex slave science fiction books like Susan Wright's "Slave Trade" or Karen Anne Mitchell's "The Usahar" remains to be seen, but it would be hard to imagine that such an influence isn't there, since Gorean words like "kajira" (slave girl) have become normal parts of the fetish community's vocabulary. But be warned as well: "Slave Girl of Gor" is at times appalling in its misguided assumptions about men, women, and human nature, which it reduces to a simplistic sociobiology that even with (or perhaps especially with) recent advances in the field, is completely untenable. This would be a stronger book without such asides, but Norman must be given some credit for at least tackling a subject that even today makes so many people uncomfortable. In short, if male dominant/female submissive sexual fantasies are your thing, this is a book to own.

A good addition to the Gorean Saga,
By batuo@aol.com (Vancouver, Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 11 Slave Girl Of Gor (Paperback)
This book details the experiences of an intelligent college girl who is taken from earth to the planet gor and there transformed into a gorean slave girl. The book for the most part is written from her perspective. As a submissive female myself, I was able to understand her fears and then joy at finding her personnal freedom in being allowed for the first time to be totally female. John Norman brings depth and understanding in this book as he explores the feelings of many women world wide who feel that todays society does not allow us to be the total creatures we were created to be. It is one of the better Gorean novels.

Is j. Norman Dead ?,
By A Customer
This review is from: 11 Slave Girl Of Gor (Paperback)
I have read all of John normans work including this one but I can not find any more titles by him. I was told that he had sadly passed away is this true? He is a fine writer and the characters he portrays are believable. We can learn about ourselves and our relationships with others by reading his novels. I personally feel that we have lost a vital part of ourselves in the wheels of the machine. In this day and age of political correctness where men and women fear to talk to each other in case of offense it is good to break away to a more natural barbarous epoch.Ta-sardar-gor
