other than the weird daddy mommy issues, the he-man stuff, the helpless delicate female stuff , the bondage stuff and the weird language, and these are only a few chapters so far out of many chapters
other than that it's a great story well told
( written in 1913 it predates Howard /Conan the Barbarian by 20 years )
"But I was greatly stiff on my waking ... " ...lol
what it makes much funnier for me is that this guy has the same voice and accent as Peter Cook.
Written as if it was the 17th century. I had a look at it, and it sounds interesting, but the wiki plot summary left all the sexy out ๐ did Hodgson edge the whole way writing this? ๐๐
the first two chapters were cutesy, then 9 chapters of good science fiction, now two chapters of edging
I recommend it as an interesting and new experience
there is another 7 hours of this
I am starting to question my interpretation of the science fiction chapters
