I really like this book this and the Planned paradox helped me understand why I struggle so much with my weight and my emotions as I've gotten older and gave me some very good suggestions and some very simple but not necessarily always easy things I can do to change my house and my life and the things I do in it that would help me both physically and emotionally improve my everyday Outlook and my health I hope to put these things into effect in my life and if you suffer the same problems you should try it

Everett is a down-on-his-luck magical tradesman just trying to make a living. He has manifested the seven spells required to earn the rank of Journeyman Magicker, but few of his spells are useful enough to earn coin, and when he does manage to find work, he is often paid in farm produce. His life is simple, ponderous, and unexciting. Then, almost miraculously, he manifests an eighth spell: Beautiful Woman, come forth! And this is when his troubles truly begin. Potatoes, Come Forth! is a fantasy novel of 89,400 words or approximately 357 pages.

interesting system of technology and Magic
Reviewed: 08-18-24
I'm going to say I got this because I read the book and it was one of my first books on Amazon Kindle back when I was still a new thing and then I recently saw a virtual Voice version of this and I thought well it's two bucks I can try it out even if I'm not a big fan of virtual voices over performed narrators. so first off virtual voice wasn't that bad it was at least better than the Google read aloud of voices that I get sometimes when I'm listening to fanfiction or an article online. now answer the story itself it kind of reminds me of some of the earlier books I used to read as a child back in the '80s in the 90s like by such authors as Piers Anthony or Terry Brooks where they have an interesting little conflict between technology and Magic and all those who do have magical talents get a certain number of spells and the Spells can never change or grow more powerful and they only do the exact thing that they say and never anything else for example if you have a spell that asks you to dig up carrots and gather them in a pile that's all it'll do and you can't control what spells you get. alongside that is a continuing development of technology which is more industrious and more usable by everyone though that too like the Spells seems to be spontaneously generated by certain people who just suddenly know how to build things without the normal technological development that we're familiar with in the real world it's an entertaining book and inoffensive I would certainly sit down and listen to it again sometime

Story
When it comes to action and adventure, every hero needs a good sidekick. Holmes has Watson, Batman has Robin, and Daniel has . . . Orrin. More like brothers than friends, they always have each other's backs. And as Daniel is the big, strong, handsome type, Orrin is more than happy to remain in his shadow at school, at parties, pretty much everywhere. Then things take a turn for the truly weird when a terrible accident catapults the pair into a world totally unlike their own, in which the rules of a role-playing game hold sway.

annoying skill and class voice
Reviewed: 05-11-24
generally I liked the story I thought most of the narration was interesting but there was this annoying Tech where every class name and every skill name was done in a different voice while someone else was talking about them which was very jarring and put me out of the story and every time I would get in someone would say a name again and it would be a different voice and it would again pull me out of immersion. but generally I like the story of the two guys one who gets a hero class and the other who gets some kind of administrator class as well as some new class to help them survive in this new world and presumably fix the problem

it was nice to have a system that rewards good behavior and character
Reviewed: 03-17-24
I have watched several original cultivation World stories and read some more with odd in search from Earth type characters as well and this one at least stands a genuine generosity and that the system made the character is given cuz sometimes they get systems sometimes they just have natural talents and this one he's given a system that rewards generous Behavior but he's got odd rules to make it apply you can't just give it stuff to anyone and get a reward the first book is kind of the build-up but you can listen to the book enjoy the laughs and trying to figure out who this guy is she never mentions his name and he doesn't mention much of his history but you can tell he's a fan of Pop Culture by some of the references he makes as he tries to figure out this cultivation world

Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. As Jin, I’m a man of the earth. A wielder of shovels and lord of rice and wheat. And sure, I also had to die and get pulled into another universe to end up here. But guess what?

Well, this year, after the Spring Planting season, I’m really gonna relax and put down roots. It’s the slow life for me. Sure, the talking animals and cultivators coming to live with me are a bit weird, but this year everything is gonna be basically normal. There definitely won’t be any Heavenly Tribulations, ancient formations, or cultivator issues to deal with . . .

Football has come to the ancient city of Ankh-Morpork - not the old fashioned, grubby pushing and shoving but the new, fast football with pointy hats for goalposts and balls that go gloing when you drop them. And now, the wizards of Unseen University must win a football match, without using magic, so they're in the mood for trying everything else. The prospect of the Big Match draws in a street urchin with a wonderful talent for kicking a tin can, a maker of jolly good pies, a dim but beautiful young woman who might just turn out to be the greatest fashion model there has ever been, and the mysterious Mr Nutt.

Reviewed: 11-25-22
I didn't see this book and read it originally when it first came out.
I started but I stopped and then I never picked it up cuz I got busy with other things in life. A few years later we lost Terry Pratchett and I didn't truly like one of his last books but he was in declining health.
This book is just as good as any he has ever done and this full cast performance with Sound and Music is great if you ever get tired of the reading of a book and listen to this one and really enter the world of Discworld. this one is kind of like the formation of professional sports in this city in this volume .
We lost another one of the great humor fantasy writers. and one of the truly comic Wits of our 20th and 21st century.

Humans aren’t alone anymore—in fact, they share a planet with undead and near-dead beings, living in … semi-harmony, depending on who you ask! This is the world of Reboots—where zombies, vampires, and werewolves live side-by-side with humans, taking whatever jobs they can in order to coexist peacefully. So, what better job to give almost-dead or dead beings, than one that consists of no air, cosmic radiation, and a lack of life-sustaining essentials?
