The book is thankfully short, and the action flows quickly, and there were times when I anxiously awaited what was going to happen next, but they were few and far between, as the book followed a fairly predictable storyline.
While I understand it laid the foundation for the numerous following titles in the series, this first entry is no where near as epic as fans would have you believe. It was a pretty mediocre first person narrative of a generic fantasy land, nothing more, nothing less. On the other hand, it was not nearly as entertaining as I have heard it claimed to be. On one hand, it wasn't as bad as I had heard, the gratuitous sexual material nonexistent and the pervasive chauvinistic themes extremely low-key.
All I can say is that Tarnsman of Gor was nothing like I expected at all. I eventually broke down and read the first title in the series one night, needing something quick and self contained to sate my fiction appetite. While I have heard of the infamous Gor Series over the years from associates and friends, I had never took the time to actually read one of them, assuming I knew all I needed to know from the gossip I heard.
