The difference between a fantasy book and the Bible is, if it's a contemporary fantasy, most likely the author(s) are able to be Googled so one learns they're real people. Secondly, if it's a work by a reputable publishing house, it will make sense from front to back. No errors, no inconsistencies in the storyline, no double talk. Also, the reader is forewarned on the cover as to the genre of the book; Fantasy.

"In life you can never be too kind or too fair; everyone you meet is carrying a heavy load. When you go through your day expressing kindness and courtesy to all you meet, you leave behind a feeling of warmth and good cheer, and you help alleviate the burdens everyone is struggling with."
