Fun, adventuresome fantasy. The hero finds himself accidentally transported from modern times back into medieval history, where he is trapped in the body of a dragon and his girlfriend has been kidnapped by the bad guys. Of course he sets off to rescue her, collecting a motley group of companions in the process. Things go wrong with the plans, but his new friends help him out and in the end they pitch themselves into a battle of good against evil. When it's all over he finally gets his human form back and has to decide if he wants to stay in this fantasy land or go back to his old life (where he had a boring job at a college).

No fair making me a dragon.

It isn't your average whacky experiment that goes wrong and means you get innocently transferred to a world where you are now a dragon.

In a somewhat humorous novel, the now large and lizardlike protagonist has to round up a motley crew to do so some good and some battling.

The Dragon and the George

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345299027, Mass Market Paperback)

Through no fault of his own, the once human Jim Eckert had become a dragon. Unfortunately, his beloved Angie had remained human. But in this magical land anything could happen. To make matter worse, Angie had been taken prisoner by an evil dragon and was held captive in the impenetrable Loathly Tower. So in this land where humans were edible and beasts were magical--where spells worked and logic didn't--Jim Eckert had a big, strange problem.
