Book Reviews of The Ezekiel Code
Book Review: Fantastic concept
Summary: 5 Stars
If you enjoy spending time with likeable characters and despicable bad guys, The Ezekiel Code by Gary Val Tenuta will swallow you whole. The incredible coincidences involving the English alphabet and the resulting synchronicity with the rest of the universe is so well put together, you'll begin to wonder: is it really coincidence? And there are numerous other revelations and insights into the origins of things we take for granted that will raise your eyebrows. Gary brings the characters to life with great style. I appreciated that he devoted so much attention to the antagonists. The dialogue is consistent and believable throughout. Settings are described with the perfect amount of detail. His action scenes challenge your ability to read fast enough. The final sections will have you turning pages furiously. Overall, a fantastic concept for an epic story.Book Review: Fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars
The book is a trip! Entertaining, intellectually stimulating and emotionally satisfying all in one. But hard to catagorize. The X-Files meets One Step Beyond? Dan Brown meets Rod Serling? Religious thriller? Speculative fiction? Sci-fi? A little of each, I guess. All I know is I couldn't stop reading until I at least found out what it was those two guys in the prologue were talking about and why the one guy never called the other guy like he said he would. Did somebody kill him? But before the answer to that mystery was revealed other mysteries were already in play. Right in the first chapter a completely innocent young lady leaves a homeless shelter where she'd just interviewed for a part time job and as she walks out the door somebody in a car across the street focuses a telephoto lens on her and snaps off a few frames. Why? Who was taking the pictures? And why did the clock on the wall in the homeless shelter suddenly loose several hours? Or did it gain several hours? And what is the deal with the number 9? It's just one puzzle after another and you sort of fall into the flow of the two main characters (Banyon and Angela) as they begin to realize something odd is going on. Other characters are introduced gradually as the story builds and becomes more complex and Banyon discovers something about himself that he reluctantly realizes he must accept. And then the dramatic ending! I couldn't turn those last few pages fast enough! Like I said, the book is a trip! If you're looking for something different, this is it.
Book Review: Fiction Based on Reality
Summary: 5 Stars
Though this book is considered fiction, one can see reality on most of the pages. If we look at our world with awareness, we will see it in the pages of The Ezekiel Code. A must read!Book Review: Good mystery/thriller
Summary: 4 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised by this novel. I won't go into details about the plot since that has pretty much been covered, but I will say that once I started this it was hard to put down. True, the characterization and dialogue is trite at times, but the foundation of the story carries it through. I would definitely recommend the book if you're interested in mystery/thrillers with an occult/esoteric feel.Book Review: Gripping and Informative
Summary: 5 Stars
I read The Ezekiel Code in about three days. It was the most gripping and informative book I have read in ages. First time I read an e-book on the computer right through. Although it pushes the edges of a scientific world view, I found the whole book plausible, except perhaps for the gematria, where I share the skeptical view of some characters in the book that putting numbers to letters is arbitrary. Even so, I have a fascination for numbers, especially 144, which is imbedded in our solar system in interesting ways. Just some of the wild contents include: do the Jesuits have rogue illuminati links? Are there secret powers in the world? What is the history of Rennes-le-Chateau? Is an Egyptian ankh magical like a divining rod? Can the pyramid capstone save the world from a rogue comet? Do the 13 levels of the pyramid on the US dollar bill predict anything? What is the energy in chakra meditation? Can sound be focussed to enable levitation? Do universities prevent scientists from investigating fringe topics? Is Ezekiel 1 a description of UFOs?
These wild questions are raised by a well paced and superbly characterised plot in which a guy who runs a homeless shelter in Seattle turns out to be The Chosen One, a title he finds slightly irritating, and sets off with his new girlfriend to save the world. As he links up with various powerful people and looks into the various woo-woo ideas promoted by new agers and conspiracy theorists he finds an amazing hidden unity.
