Hormone receptors in digestion and nutrition Book

I have mixed feelings about about this essay. Schweitzer praises Howard works throughout, but he also spends considerable wordage on complaints of laziness, repetition, weak plotting, etc. Overall, the negatives overshadow the positives. It didn't leave me anxious to dive back into Howard's work, and as a fan, that's not the feeling one ought to walk away with. That said, the essay is well-researched, tracing the history of stories recast and retitled until publication and/or reprinted. It also covers stories and partials edited/reworked by L. Sprague de Camp and others. Schweitzer includes useful recaps of all of Howard's Conan stories and well as ratings that run from "excellent" to "pretty bad."
