Slave Girl of Gor (Gorean Saga Book 11) Kindle Edition

My understanding is that John Norman had ghost writers to help with writing, but I don't know if this is true. After the fourth book in this series I noticed a difference in the treatment of the main characters. I have some disappointment in this, but I will continue to read all of the books if possible. Not wanting to do spoiler... In general, the books are continuing to be consistent in the Gor cultural construct. Also, the thing that makes the one continuing character different does not seem to be there anymore. I am hoping that by later books I can see some additional humanity. However, it is not my story being told. I just have to read to see what happens!

Judy Thornton finds herself transported from the warm, comforting environment of her college and thrust into the political intrigues of a world not her own. Educated as an English major and poet, she is forced into the life of a Pleasure Slave, subject to the whims of whomever owns her. A very intriguing story.

A beautiful woman naked, continually ravished, is a frightening thought. Her enjoyment of these sufferings is delightful. The descriptions of her tortures are erotically arousing. The imagination of the author is amazing and even sounds realistic. A great book.

Reread this for the first time in 45 or 50 years,still a good read. Required reading for women we that wish to explore submission

Good book, i love the entire "Chronicles of Gor" series. I even go as far as RPing it on SL. My favorites so far are "Captive of Gor", "Slave Girl of Gor", and "Kajira of Gor". I am currently on book 22 "Dancer of Gor" and enjoying it just as much. If you like Sci-fi and erotica with a focus on "Master/slave" or "Dominance/submission" themes you will love this book and the entire series, all 33 books.

I understand it is a book that was written 40 year ago, but someone needs to proof read it. A lot ofhapters was repeated as well as some of the sentences. Over all, great read

This is my second John Norman book, and somewhat different to the very first book in his Gorean saga, written back in the sixties. I found it odd to begin with that he wrote in the first person as a female. Not sure that many females will be pleased with how they are portrayed in this novel. However for my part I thought it was great. Gor sounds like a fabulous place, where men are men and women are gorgeous and naked.

Wow i really enjoyed this book, cant wait to read more, on to the next few, read very fast, enjoy

Having read the early books in the series, many years ago, I have been rereading them and have, up to this point, found them entertaining in spite of the decreasing quality of story lines and increase in obsession with describing the unnecessary discomforts imposed upon women.The huge babble paragraphs in the later books can soon be recognised and skipped, but ‘Slave Girl of Gor’ is tedious, unless you are either a masochist or sadist. And, at times, you laugh out loud and wonder if the author has any experience of sexual activity involving a woman.In spite of being an inventive and talented story teller, Johan Norman seems to have very little understanding of the nature of the psychology of truly physically powerful men, or the relative unimportant place that sex would play in such a society; sex would be little more than food and drink, enjoyed, but completely taken for granted until it became unavailable. In a society ruled by physically strong men, skilled in the arts of combat where the women are beautiful and submissive, the men would not behave like spiteful and spoilt weaklings, or the insane this, I fear, has more to do with John Norman getting off on his own fantasies than a believable description of such a society and it is increasingly ruining an otherwise fascinating series. I wish he would stop typing one handed and return to producing tales of rip-roaring adventure. Maybe the next in the series will be so.If you are an ineffectual, spotty weakling, or simply weird and get off on bullying or being bullied in connection with sexual activity, ‘Slave Girl of Gor’ should appeal; however, even though I dearly miss the days before men were stripped of their masculine roll in society by their own inventions, I find the repetitive theme of unnecessary cowardly bullying, repugnant.

JOhm Norman can write a good tale when he puts his mind to it. He can also write drivel. So far this is one of his worst. He repeats stetements ad nauseum. In a first time writer we'd accuse him of padding the tale. He is going on about slave theory to the nth degree, lecturing us in a boring way, rather than letting it emerge from the tale. "Show don't tell" as they say in leasson 1 of how to write.And I am not comfortable about a woman being back handed so hard she vomits being described as "cuffed"

The pinnacle of fantasy novels, this is a great read from cover to cover.

The Slave Girl of Gor gives the reader an interesting perspective of a young woman thrust upon the planet known as Gor; she finds herself in an idyllic alien world which has different cultural values and customs to that of her native earth.`Judy Thornton' the English Major and Poetess is enslaved almost immediately upon arrival and is won in a challenge when the strapping Gorean Male a Captain of the City of Ar challenges what appears to be two outlaws ready to kill the young woman after a long and confusing set of events right from the opening of the book.The book starts rather slowly as you are viewing things through the girl's eyes and so the reader as well as she has no understanding of the language or gestures being used to control her; it is only later when she understands the language does the book become more alive and interesting.The plot from the beginning is not clear it just seems like a chronicle of the life of a Gorean slave girl and how she is viewed as property and is used at the whim and mercy of the typical Gorean male; however we do find later on as the tale progresses that the mighty Captain of Ar is not as he appears when in the presence of this slave girl.Overall the book itself paints an interesting picture of Gorean life through the eyes of a slave girl as well as has a plot that is credible and well thought out when it appears in the latter chapters of the book.

Another one I have been meaning to get to, I have read 4 Gor saga books so far and enjoyed every single one of them. I have no doubt this will be a good one as well. I have it on my kindle and will be getting to it shortly
