Chi Chui Michael Mak, 4 out of 5 stars
…
Fantasy man explores themes of faith, belief, and the supernatural, but it does not cater exclusively to readers of a specific religion. The book explores them in a way that is inclusive and broad. The references to religion are more about the characters’ personal beliefs and experiences rather than advocating for a particular religious viewpoint. This makes the book accessible to a diverse audience, regardless of their religious background.
…
To sum up, I really enjoyed Fantasy Man. This book is recommended for readers who enjoy intricate plots, historical references, and a touch of the paranormal. Additionally, those who appreciate character-driven stories with a strong intellectual component will enjoy Howard’s complex persona and
the dynamics within the group of participants.
