Young Conan in love, 21 May 2011
By mjare "mjare" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Conan and the Spider God (Mass Market Paperback)
Lyon Spraque de Camp was one of the most successful continuator of the Ervin Robert Howard's works on Conan the Barbarian. Here I definitely have to mention Lin Carter, who also did much in this field of heroic fantasy literature together with Spraque de Camp. Book ''Conan and the Spider-God'' is a very well-written short novel with very fast action. But Sprague de Camp offered us a different ''image'' of a young Conan, because in this novel we know the deeper feelings of this great barbarian warrior for the first time. We see him in love with a beautiful young dancer, who is employed in the Temple in Yezud. In the stories on Conan written by Howard love was not a big issue as here. Even after the death of Belit, who was his first serious lover in the story ''Queen of the Black Coast'' Conan was not so affected by this fact. So... in this book, which is written in old and good style of heroic fantasy novels we have a new quality of the main literary character. I like this book, but Conan stories, which were written by Howard are my favourite ones.

Good, but not great, 22 Mar 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Conan and the Spider God (Conan Series) (Hardcover)
De Camp tries to be Howard, but alas, falls flat in my opinion. The story could've had more of what makes Conan tales great; action, magic and gals.
