"The story is not a fluff piece - it delves head on into philosophical and theological discussions. And though there is much violence in the piece, Cheung makes a point not to sensationalize it - violence is depicted in all its horrific reality. Path of the Chosen is the beginning of a promising group of books and a promising author." - LA Literary Examiner
"...the story and characters are very engaging and an enjoyable read...You (the author) may be interested in Christensen's 'Rhetoric of the Sentence'...not to change anything you do, but to validate what you successfully do..."
Dr. Michael Gose, Professor of The Great Books Colloquium / Pepperdine University
"The characters are the strongest part of the novel, for they are not just 'good guys' because they oppose 'the bad guy,' as many have done. Very few authors TRULY address matters of morals and the various paths the characters must choose between, and why each path is important. But Cheung here has made each character dynamic, yet not stereotypical.
While this novel is not perfect, it is indeed a work that transcends most of the others in its genre. With a little more acclaim, this novel will hopefully not be called "unoriginal" by even the worst skeptics, but rather be the original of which many authors may take deeper ideas from, and implement them to their own works."
