Piers Anthony is best known for writing light fantasy novels popular with preteens. What most of his fans may not realize is that he is a great thinker, and one of the best philosophers I have ever read. I don’t care for his light fantasies. They have their moments and the word play is often fun, but usually they are quest novels with a thin plot and superficial characters.
Occasionally Anthony writes a major novel, and these are worth spending some time reading. “Tatum Mound” is one of the best historical novels ever written. I wish I could have assigned it to my classes. Unfortunately some scenes are pure pornography. This is also true in “Tarot.”
That does not mean Anthony’s longer books are not good. They are.
In “Tarot,” Anthony sets out to write about world religions. I highly recommend this novel is you are taking a class in comparative religions. He does an excellent job and explains things much better than the textbooks you will be assigned. Because there are so many different religions, he describes and compares divine philosophies.
Characters of different faiths, not all of them Christian, argue their viewpoints. Main characters enter animations where they can observe the founders of major religions. Siddhartha (Buddha), Jesus, Muhammad and Satan are all there. Though the book is not clear on the difference between the Pagan Horned God and Satan, it is still worth a read.
Anthony provides an explanation and a conclusion. This is a great chance to learn something about religious history and read an entertaining novel at the same time.

SF wrapped up in Fantasy. History, Occult, Adventure, Mystery
2014年4月23日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This is not your common garden book. Its best read in its Trilogy form to avoid unessessary distraction, some readers may have issues with Occult and tarot references if so by another book. If you have an open mind come in and discover rich landscapes, intriguing characters, and lots of historical and religious machinations, described superbly, it's a book to expand your horizons and maybe educate you, but above all its a great SF book with Fantasy abound
