Slave Girl of Gor - finished - 1/22/2006 10:56:16 PM

Well, i finally finsihed slave girl of Gor.
This is my critique:
I liked the plot and how all the characters came in and out of each others life. I was wondering all the way through the book why Alicia kept being mentioned, so wasnt surprised at all when she turned up on Gor and became Judy's Mistress.

I could relate to the under-current that all women are slaves at heart, I guess the old saying "he that doth protest too much" comes to mind..for a lot of women *grin*.

I could relate to the mental anquish of relaxing into a slavery that although you realise it makes you happiest and makes you feel like coming home to yourself, yet at the same time having to combat thoughts stemming from how our society has conditioned us to be some other way. I thought that was really cleverly expressed.

It made me smile a lot reading about a world where men know who they are and arent afraid of themselves or their role in regards to women. I didnt really see it that they were more powerful but just that their role was different.

I liked the end chapter, where her original Master reclaimed her because he loved her, yet at the same time being very definate that this did not change the Master/slave relationship. I think that would be very difficult for some men, to realise their Mastery is actually what is needed by their slaves and just because they love their slaves it doesnt mean they should be less of a man or a Master.

well thats all i've got to say for now...

just wanted to share.

P.s. Background: Master and I don't live in a Gorean Relationship, yet many of the facets are the same and I could relate to.

Love the critique lass, I enjoyed the book too when I read it. I particularly enjoyed your comments regardig the men as not being more powerfull but rather knowing themselves and being confident in their skins. more of this is needed and not just in the Gorean Lifestyle....

Sheesh don't you have a twin or three who want to belong to a Gorean Home...... <<<Very innocent grin>>>

greeting
A very thoughtful review of the book. I would also like to sugguest "Kajira of Gor". There is a saying "A Master without a slave is only a man, a slave without a Master is only a woman, together they are complete."

I wish you well

Nosathro

A beautiful review, slave jail.
this girl(who is on wittness of Gor, currently) has decided to go back and re-read slave of gor again. there are a lot of good things in that book, and she thanks you for reminding her of them.

Respectfully,
adrianne

I have to say, unlike my kajira, I didn't really get much from Slave.

I may be the one to spit in the wind here, but it's how I feel.

~smiles~

personally, a girl's favorite is Marauders. The description of life in Torvaldsland really resonates with her, and it's, to her way of thinking, anyway, a little more well-rounded way of life.

Plus, they have snow. ~grins~

All joking aside, it's interesting to peek into the different cultures that John Norman chose to mirror on the CounterEarth.

well wishes,

~mirya (who ~definitely~ likes being a bondmaid :) )

Hi mirya, i found Marauders this weekend at my used book store, lol i never did look for them there but decided to ask this one lady whom i talk about my newest discovery lol Christine Feehan. Out of like 200 books in that section that was the only one i found from the Gor series lol most of them were conan books lol. I mentioned that to her and she says they don't get many(the Gor books) in but when they do they don't stay very long. Its funny how you find a commeraderie with people you don't even know simply because you realize something you covet and you wonder about these people.. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

So far i liked Captive the best lol prolly cause the title was what got me... woo hoo. Anyway, i do have to say the cover is pretty cheesy lol, but i look forward to reading it.

Tal,

I enjoyed Slave girl of Gor but I too loved Kajira of Gor more. It took me a long time to fill my collection. I have many first editions and Kajira and Slave Girl of Gor are both falling apart from the dozens of times I have read them. I have not read wittness of Gor yet. Infact, I have been so out of touch with my inner slave in the last few years I only heard about it and this web site a couple of days ago

Respectuflly,

Dina
