This is an older book (Published in 1986), but a very good one.

Her Majesty's Wizard

It's the beginning of a story about Matthew Mantrell, a person from our world, who gets sent back to a medieval world, where magic exists Of course, it's much more in depth, but the books are fun, detailed, and well thought out. Everyone I have given this book to, has loved it so far, so I'd suggest for you all to check it out at a library or a bookstore, A'ight?

I quit reading Stasheff. Why?

Because he cheats.

I picked up--it was that very series--some of his books, and read about four of them back-to-back over a week or so. Guess what I found. He must have used a word-processor to write them, because I started finding whole passages transplanted, word-for-word, from one book to the next. Not in context of a flashback, but as if they were "new."

I put down the books, and refuse to read anything else by him. That's just wrong.

If you can look past that, they're not too bad.

V.C. Andrews does the EXACT same thing, and oh GOD is it annoying. I only read 3 books by her, and the same 5 pages was in all 3 of them.. not to mention all her stories are exactly the same anyway (abuse/incest)
