Another great story

Another awesome saga for gorean fans
A story told from the earth girl slave falling in love with her master

If submission is your thing

Where does Slave Girl of Gor rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Since my marriage has turned D/s, I looked for this book. Yes, it's kind of cheesy fantasy, and really -- Goreans have the ability of interplanetary space travel, but they ride around on birds and fight with swords and knives? But don't let pesky details clutter your guilty pleasures here. John Norman (aka Lange) has some pretty good psychological insights on submissive's emotions and libido (I know I'm not supposed to think that, the Cambridge thought police are on their way, no worries). I've bookmarked a number of great quotes.

What did you like best about this story?

The psychological insights regarding female submission. The guilty erotic pleasure.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Most of the performance was okay, but there are a number of places that feel chopped up or overdubbed and disturb the flow.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Who cares?

Any additional comments?

Who needs 50 Shades?

Sojourn in another world

There isn't much of a plot, but that isn't really the point of this book. It's about following Judy's situation as a slave girl on Gor and experiencing her struggles with her. Despite the book being so long it's a small-scale story and can easily be broken up into a dozen stories about her various adventures and dramas. Despite its somewhat episodic nature, there are unifying threads that continue through the book, mostly through her relationships to other characters who are reoccurring in her life. Read if you want to get in the head of a slave girl of Gor.

Excellent storytelling and it kept my interest.

Excellent story telling, it kept my interest at bay. I'm so glad that (in the end) the slave girl got what she wanted.

loved it!!!

once again another great book of Gorl!!! Downloading the next in the series rite now.

The plot given is wrong. Here's the real one.

The description of this book that's given as I type this is wrong. It's the one from the previous book in the series. Below is the real description taken from Amazon. Taken as a possession, Judy Thornton, an Earth resident, is found meandering in the wilderness of the Earthlike planet of Gor. In keeping with the uncivilized culture of the Goreans, she is trained and used as a slave. What her masters don't know is that Judy is more than just a beautiful chattel. She has the power to obliterate Gor and all that is related to it. Determined to seize control of her, Priest Kings and Kur-Monster enter combat, neglecting the fact that the fate of Gor rests in the hands of the ethereal Judy. Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the first book of the Gorean Saga, TARNSMAN OF GOR, E-Reads is proud to release the very first complete publication of all Gor books by John Norman, in both print and ebook editions, including the long-awaited 26th novel in the saga, WITNESS OF GOR. Many of the original Gor books have been out of print for years, but their popularity has endured. Each book of this release has been specially edited by the author and is a definitive text.

Got better with time

This book was with difficult to attached to it first. Cletus is a bit annoying but winsome in the end. The plot seemed to relax and get to quality when Bosk of Port Carr showed up. Tarl Cabbert/Bostreally is his best character. I find it really funny what he could get away with in a book written in the 70s.

best narration yet! so sexy thank yoi.

Seek to understand the slave master relationship this is the book. You will cheer and cry for tje heroin slave. She will bond to you. Also your favorite characters make apperances

Good story, but outstanding narration

The vocal acting turned this from simply another in the series (whatever qualities of relative good any of which might have individually or not) into a legitimate, organic and vulnerable expression of the human condition. Joy Learner invested in the characters, most especially the protagonist and delivered a nuanced and articulate performance.

Why is this woman not doing more with audible beyond this single book?

To be sure audible has a handful of really talented narrators ... but not so many that they don't need more of Joy Learner. Serious skills vocally and dramatically....

Not for nothing -- I make my living on the stage. Just my opinion.

Surprised at insight into woman's feelings!

What did you like best about Slave Girl of Gor? What did you like least?

I truly started reading it with the intention of writing the answering "woman's point of view" to the whole thing, but was pleasantly surprised to see the author truly had a handle on it already!

What did you like best about this story?

The emotional power struggle between man and woman which has been going on since we were kicked out of the Garden!

Was Slave Girl of Gor worth the listening time?

Most definitely, and is one of those that I will probably re-read! :)
