Fantastic review, and funny, and accurate. Painfully accurate.
I have to admit that I sort of moved on when the books drifted away from Tarl Cabot, the academic turned warrior caste member. But I particularly liked the giant praying mantises called Priest Kings, the talking bears, and the various types of monsters called "sleen." So, I moved on sometime in the 1980s. Now, all the books blur together in my mind. But I recently checked in on Gor by downloading "Treasure of Gor," the THIRTY-EIGHTH book of the Gor series. I have to admit that I haven't read it yet. But just skimming, it' all there: The Earth babe torn from her high skilled position on Earth to be a slave on Gor, the weirdly stilted dialogue, and the ridiculous astronomy. So, good old John Norman, who must be pushing 100 y/o, i still cranking out Gor novels.
I wouldn't call the Gor series "good clean fun," it is fun. If you seriously suspend disbelief, you can have a good time reading that series.
