Title: Not the best sf/fantasy I've ever read.
Review: I found a used copy of an early 80s printing of Captive of Gor. I had not read any of the previous Gor novels, but my father used to read them when I was young. Since this was all I had, I started in on volume 7 without having read any of the previous volumes. Although I probably would have had a better appreciation of the context if I had started with volume 1, that was not necessary to be able to understand the story.I'll admit it, I bought this book because the version I have has a very sexy cover. And yes this book is kind of a guilty pleasure for me in the sexual and anti-feminist aspects of it. But frankly this is just bad writing. The story is ok. The wold is well-developed. The protagonist is someone you love to hate. The book is just badly written. The author keeps repeating himself and coud have probably cut the length of this book to 1/3. WIth that in mind I will cut short my review before I start repeating myself.
Is the review positive or negative?
