Book Reviews of The Ezekiel CodeBook Review: HIGH-CONCEPT ADVENTURE, AN UNFORGETTABLE BOOK Summary: 5 Stars
The Ezekiel Code is one of those rare books, that once you read it, you will never see the world in quite the same way - a mark of excellence in storytelling. It changes you because it opens a portal to so many fascinating concepts, some of which are right before your eyes, laced throughout our lives and history, and others, which exist just beyond our general understanding, that it will keep you thinking and wondering about what it presents long after you've read it.
As a story, The Ezekiel Code quickly became a `place' I wanted to escape to every day. I grew attached to its main characters, Zeke and Angela, and accustomed to being a part of their world, and I didn't want it to end. The characters are alive, fully formed people that seem very real, in richly detailed surroundings. They start out in the most ordinary of circumstances, but are drawn, through many twists and turns, through synchronicity, into a captivating mystery that begins to surround them and take over their lives. Their path is a dangerous and winding one where dark and light continuously battle for supremacy. Slowly, subtly, the main characters, and you, the reader, are taken down the rabbit hole, and you will wonder over & over again, could many of the things the author presents, be real, be true? There is a great deal of evidence to say that yes, much of it could be, and that only enhances an already engaging and compelling story. Indeed, this book is so loaded with mysteries & intriguing theories that a reader could then proceed to spend the next twenty years studying them with immense interest & zeal. Note: The Ezekiel Code could very well be the beginning of many an addiction to uncovering hidden truths, deep mysteries, secret societies, metaphysics, ancient knowledge, quantum physics, (and many other sciences and theoretical concepts that I will not mention for fear of giving too much away) - you have been warned!
I was struck by the breadth of knowledge and passion the author obviously has for his subject matter. In fact, this is one of those instances where I am as fascinated by the author, who embodies his work, as I am the story. Loads of research went into crafting this book. There are many novels that will *razzle-dazzle* you with technology, weapons, and smart, sophisticated "super-people" that none of us could ever relate to. These can be formulaic and forgettable. They may be good reads at the time, but they don't stay with you, simply blending into a sea of similar stories. The Ezekiel Code transcends this, because it is at once relatable, yet so dense in what it offers, that you will find yourself bringing things up that you learned from this book in conversation with your friends & family, and engaging in absorbing and lengthy discussions for a long time to come.
The Ezekiel Code is high-concept fiction, with great action & adventure, and is a completely unique story with a powerhouse ending. An unforgettable read!

Book Review: It Drags Summary: 2 Stars
Too much minutia. Entirely too long. I keep loosing interest, but force myself along and can't wait to be finished with it.
Book Review: Long boring book Summary: 1 Stars
Ezekiel Code is a long (676 pages) and boring book. In my opinion, the author, Gary Val Tenuta, tried too hard, researched too long, and included too much information to the point that I was saturated with all the numbers and code. The characters he created never seemed real with all their phony dialog, which served only to convey information and never to provide depth and insight into the characters' personalities or feelings. With all the coincidences, the book is like a complicated Nancy Drew, and after wading through the droves of code, the ending is anti-climatic. I was relieved when it was over. It's a shame too because with proper editing (or any editing at all), this might have been a good book.
If you are looking for a good suspenseful, controversial-type mystery, I suggest Angels & Demons by Dan Brown. It's great; I couldn't put it down!
Book Review: May the Code be with you Summary: 5 Stars
For any one who has read Margaret Starbird, John Michell, and a raft of other authors dealing with Sacred Geometry, the Bible, and prophecy, I feel this book is a must. It is a magical mystery tour and fun to read in it's fictional backdrop. But rest assured that many familiar topics will be woven into the fabric of this better than wonderful, brilliant,and evocative book. The number nine smirks of syncronisity and Gary makes you critically aware of this. Before you know it, you will have a calculator in hand. Just yesterday, I paid my bills. Nothing out of the ordinary until I balanced my account, It was $1818.18. Thats three nines which equal twenty seven which equals nine. In the Book of Jonah, he is sent to the Great City N(in)eveh. If you take out (in) and reverse the remaining letters, you have (In Heaven). In Heaven the number nine is all pervasive. It is the end of one cycle and the beginning of another cycle and it's time is here.
May the Code be with you

Book Review: One exciting ride! Not to be missed! Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book, even at over 600 pages, to be exciting and hard to put down. The characters are engaging. I especially enjoyed the interplay between Zeke and Angie. Theirs is a charming love story in the midst of ever changing, and at times very dangerous exploits. The story is fast paced - hold on for a fast and furious ride! Part mystery, part sci-fi, part adventure and 100% original. Don't miss this one!
