“An incredibly magical tour of other worlds. Integrity, Compassion, Adventure, Dreams and Love. Many life lessons are woven throughout these wonderous pages. I tensed in sections, cried towards end, reviewed my life I spent in the corporate chasm, if you are in it, this book is for you! The writer is immensely talented in his gift/talent of words. Bravo, now how soon before next one is out??”

"Overall, "Adam in Taoland: Dreaming Dreams I" offers a positive perspective on humanity, with a well-crafted universe, relatable characters, and engaging story. However, readers should be aware of its pacing issues and predictable plot points. In conclusion, I would recommend this book to readers of science fiction and fantasy who enjoy thought-provoking stories with strong world-building and character development.”

"I was enthralled with Jack Tymann's novel from the first page to it's provocative conclusion. Writing it what seems to be a science fiction/ fantasy type genre, he manages to present and expose many of the foibles of life. His characters, all well developed, each represent a slice of humanity...for better or worse. He creates scenarios that any reasonably intelligent reader will immediately identify as microcosms of the human struggle. His plot and characters move rapidly and I can almost imagine the author urgently getting them on the written page. By the end of the journey I can honestly say I was entertained but, more importantly, felt I learned things of importance...things I should have known but had never considered until Jack's writings provoked me. This novel will not disappoint you. I can almost guarantee you will feel enhanced by the experience."

“Adam in Toaland is a very imaginative novel whose story line is set in the future, year 3266. This setting allows the author to utilize his imagination and create fantastical characters that deal with the heavy social issues of today. The books primary focus highlights everyman’s quest to weed through the confusion of societies emphasis on material success verse what their TRUE purpose is in life. Reading this in my 50s, I was able to relate to Adam’s journey and who he eventually becomes at the end of Book. After finishing the book, I had to order more copies for my sons as they start their career paths. I look forward to hearing their perspectives on Adams decisions that will hopefully resonate and guide them on their journeys thru life. Hats off to Jack Tymann for writing a book whose message will stand the test of time.”

"I wasn't sure what to expect from a book starting out in 3266 AD. It doesn't take long to become involved and realize that it is more related to the human spirit. I started personalizing with Adam throughout his career, marriage and family life. The book does a very good job of showing us the demands and strain of balancing one's life however, ultimately it guides you to his awakening of what is truly important. It was fun to find out there will be sequels!"

"I was most intrigued with the concept of the fifth dimension as the setting for this story. The book kept me engrossed in the details of the life of Adam. The interaction of his learning his own feelings, trusting his gut, the many facets of love and life, and being able to stand up for what he believed in. There were many valuable life lessons in this story. I look forward to continuing the adventures of Adam."

"Adam in Taoland is Page Turner, Jack brilliantly manage to weave 20th and 21st century, corporate work, ethics, ambition and achievement, dedication and corporate politics, success, and pitfalls,in a third millennium, fantasy dream. From my personal experience, I could relate to all the characters ,waiting impatiently to read the sequences in the second and third book."

"I have enjoyed reading this novel greatly, I have learned a lot from this book and am very much looking forward to the next rendition of this novel. I believe that people will only benefit from reading this novel and gain knowledge of the World outside of what is provided in the United States."

"Adam in Taoland delivers a powerful message about the meaning of life, which the main character comes to understand as his life progresses in different alien worlds. The lessons Adam learns as he struggles with competition on the job, balancing work with family life, and learning to appreciate different forms of life and personalities, come slowly. In the end, Adam learns that what he valued as a young man matters little in the grand scheme of things. I enjoyed the book so much that, although it is a novel, I found myself taking notes to cement in my mind the philosophical truths discovered by Adam during his journey. I am looking forward to the sequels."

"From the beginning one is struck by how civilization has deteriorated into a gray world ruled and run by robots with humans left without family and emotions. Adam emerges and begins a journey to another galaxy where he finds color, real life relationships, great foods, interesting beings and opportunities for a challenging career and love. Along the way Adam has a wise robot that guides him in making life choices as he confronts evil forces. Adam’s journey will keep you interested as he journeys thru life and other galaxies."

"I don't normally read sci-fi or fantasy novels, but once I read the first chapter, I was hooked. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and their roles in presenting the story. I found myself identifying with the turmoil the family faced as Adam moved toward what he thought his "purpose" was for being. The authors presented valuable lessons for leadership, relationships, and family values. I recommend this book to anyone, especially, to those who felt being a CEO of a large corporation was their goal in life. I am looking forward to the next book to see how Adam and his wife are able to make changes to Novana. Thank you, Jack and Ayesha, for persevering to create this thought-provoking novel."

"Adam in Taoland is an interesting journey of a young man who went from a black/white/gray world to a lavish, colorful existence in another galaxy somewhere. His evolving - his growing and learning experiences - was a fascinating journey which was a delight to read. The descriptions provided by the author were so vivid, I could see them in my imagination. I didn't want this book to end and I cannot wait until the next book to see where life takes Adam."

"I loved this book when I was doubtful. I am not much of a fantasy fiction reader but this is so much more. First, the author's imagination is incredible, adding to it lessons in management style, relationships, even some politics! It's clear the author has drawn from his long and successful career and it makes you wonder how much is autobiography! I can't wait for the second installment!"

"I found this book captivating. Initially, I was lost in the sci-fi, it was a new adventure for me since I don’t gravitate to this genre. However, it did pique my curiosity. Then I found an interesting intertwining of what seemed to be an autobiography grappling with reality and expectations. Each moon demonstrated the growth and the young man’s aspirations and the struggles of the family’s dealing with changes. It exemplified conflicts of a time of a time of life. The delight of the book is the author’s ability to weave imagination and reality. He demonstrates the resilience of the human spirit in an outer worldliness. I look forward to reading the next two books."

"This is an amazing book. It was hard to put down and I felt a sense of longing for the next one once I finished it. The settings are so creative, intriguing, and vibrant and the characters are so relatable. The main characters and minor characters all remind the reader of people we know at work, at home, and around the neighborhood. The character arcs are thoughtful and sensitive and while the setting is on various planets and moons in the future, there’s very much a sense of how the lessons they learn from their experiences can be applied for a better life and sense of higher purpose to anyone here and now. It’s written with a balance of exciting adventure, real world great challenges, and kind heartedness. Very well done. A great work and I’m excited for the next one!"

"Praise for Jack Tymann’s Adam in Taoland- an engaging book set in the future that seamlessly brings the reader to their current self. The story upholds the potential of the human spirit and demonstrates the power that love has when given selflessly, time and time again. ........ This book is more than a story about searching for meaning in one’s life. The author skillfully draws you into the story, where you become Adam feeling all of his emotions as your own. Adam drives the story, but the real story is about the character - learning to be selfless and think of others while dealing with the quest for power and prestige. At the end of the book, the reader is challenged to discover if love, faith, and hope can grow in chaos and dismal circumstances. Although I am not a science fiction fan, I found myself “dreaming dreams” of what's to come in Book II, “Homeland Rescued.”"

"I received a free ARC of this book and am leaving a review voluntarily. The creativity in this book is impressive. I adore the worldbuilding. I rarely find a book that crosses fantasy and sci fi well but this one absolutely does and neither one feels out of place. I wanted to know more! The main character is probably the weakest aspect of this book but I don’t want you to think that means they’re bad. Because they’re not. You are immediately introduced to their strife and the author effectively makes you feel for them within a few pages. I like him fine. I just wanted a bit more uniqueness to his personality. The conflict in this story is a great one. I love stories that explore the producer of creativity, free will and what makes a meaningful life. You’ll love exploring it. Definitely a unique book and one worth giving your time to explore!"

(This review contains spoilers)"This book explores the dark side of the corporate world, friendship, supportive spouses, how we humans run for meaningless things, struggles and obstacles we face in our daily life, the mistakes we make and torments we go through, and how to search meaning and purpose of one's life. I like the writing style, it's easy to read, straightforward, eloquent, and understandable. If I talk about the characters, I love Tari's character (Adam's wife) she supports Adam unconditionally but at some point, I felt bad for her for not being treated the same way. I like Roshi's character too who was the first Guru of Adam.. cried a lot in the scene when Roshi died 😭 He was good. I adore the world-building the authors did a splendid job. Overall it's a good book and I'm looking forward to the second book of this Trilogy."

"I loved this. book, never have I seen so many topics all combined together! The lessons learned are so valuable, the humor is grounding, and Adam's journey is almost mythical in his arch. The supporting characters, all interplanetary, all unusual, and all magical represent different viewpoints to see life as a celebration of our difference and our "same-ness""
