From Scientific American
..Replete with considerable action, sword play, descriptions of exotic lands, strange peoples, unusual customs and weird flora and fauna. And it is here that Norman really excels. he limns a rich tapestry, enveloping the reader in the strangeness of Gor, yet doing it so well, in such generally careful detial, that it seems less a novel than an actual recounting of one man's adventures. It is clearly apparent that he has sent much time in "building" his world...
Review
Wouldn't it be wonderful if Edgar Rice Burroughs were alive today, creating new worlds and characters, and maybe continuing the adventures of John Carter of Barsoom? I would even settle for the next best thing: another writer who uses the style and brilliance of Burroughs. Well, friends, I believe we have the second best thing right under our noses! The young author John Norman has written a series which bears an amazing resemblance to the Barsoom chronicles; Tarl Cabot on the counter-earth planet of Gor.... If you long to live the glories of another Barsoom, come with me to Gor and enjoy more topnotch fantasy. -- Michael Bell

Once the blushing shock of the misogyny wears off, the best thing about the Gor books is Norman's world building.
By John Lawson
On a quest to find the lost egg of the Priest Kings, Tarl Cabot journeys into the vast grasslands of Gor and encounters the fearsome Wagon Peoples (Mongolian/Cossack analogues). Manly man things and womanly submissions ensue.
Once the blushing shock of the misogyny wears off, the best thing about the Gor books is Norman's world building. It isn't the story-telling, which is just a John Carter knock-off. It isn't the action, which is OK. It isn't the sex, because really, there isn't any (or it is merely implied). It certainly isn't the social commentary, because it is laughable. ("A woman cannot truly be free until she submits utterly as a slave to a man." *yawn* Even Christian Grey could come up with something better than that, and he's a putz.)
Sadly, this fourth book of the Gor series has the least world building thus far, and consequently, was the least enjoyable for me. It also really bothered me that in this book, Cabot apparently gives up on his quest to find his beloved wife, Talena. Instead, he blithely goes about boinking all manner of girls and falls in love with at least two, one of which he keeps as his wife/slave/free companion/sub/whatever. Clearly, I'm the only one troubled by this, and this troubles me.

Pop Culture Anachronism
By Cara Rose
It's so hard to know how to review this book. Does one appreciate it for being an antiquated relic of SciFi-Fantasy? Or boggle at the mind-blowingly bad writing so dreadful that it not only sweeps past the So-Bad-Its-Good category but moves right on over to self-parody! Finishing this book left me with so many feelings it's hard to address them all. As I sort through the chaos one thing becomes clear---there is simply NO WAY this series would have been successful had it been published in the modern era. Sure there's lots of violence--- but all of it is bloodless and non-graphic. Not exactly shocking to a public who watches snuff films like the "Saw" series for fun. The sex is barely alluded to and altogether tame to tastes jaded by Starz's "Spartacus" and other fantasy sexploitation shows. In fact, it seems positively prudish, even quaint. It is hard to imagine that this is the series that sparked Feminist protests and got the author banned from SciFi conventions in the 80's. Mr. Norman should write Gloria Steinem a thankyou note for without the all the "controversy" I doubt the series would have had the staying power it has enjoyed. I suppose we owe the author our gratitude for bringing Middle America's naughty little SnM fantasies out of the closet and into our living rooms but other than nostalgia or a glimpse of pop culture history I can't think of a single reason to read this book. I guess ultimately the only measure of a book like this is "Were you entertained?" I must admit I couldn't put this book down--if only to see how much more ridiculous it could get!
A note on the Star Rating: I really don't know how to give this rating either. One Star for the terrible writing? 5 Stars for the entertainment value? Heck with it! FIVE STARS Because writing this bad takes a special talent.

oh, so that's why
By Cove Joy
Well, at least this tries to explain Tarl Cabot' s shift from rather romantic to really harsh and somewhat cruel. Not being of The Warriors, I felt his transformation was rather extreme, but then, I don't know the codes. Being enslaved sucks, I realize, but when take it out on everyone else?
However, I particularly enjoyed Norman's tales of the nomadic societies; they're far more fleshed-out than the more "men are natural males, and women are natural slaves" cliche of His more urban-based stories. Guilty pleasures, none the less.
