Book Reviews of The Ezekiel Code
Book Review: One of the worst ever
Summary: 1 Stars
I could write a book about why this book is so bad, but don't worry, I'll keep it short.
1. My 12 year old could write better dialog. "Oh, wow. That's pretty interesting and wierd!"
2. The author's idea of building suspense involves telling you that the main characters are being discussed in a dark room by men that mean them no good.
3. The main character went to school, but was never exposed to a computer. At one point the author has him try to use the CD tray as a coffee cup holder (gee, never heard that one before). Of couse, 15 minutes later he surfing the web and researching his "code" obsession.
I was going to keep going, but I think you get the idea and I did promise to keep it short. I only wish the author had made the same promise.
Note: If I could have givine this book less than 1 star, I would have.
Book Review: Please Do Come Onboard!
Summary: 5 Stars
Borrowing these famous lyrics: "Roll up, and that's an invitation, roll up for the mystery tour!"
The Ezekiel Code will certainly take readers on a wild ride, provoking deep thought as the imagery of this thrilling adventure plays out within the mind's eye. I found this novel very hard to put down once the "mystery tour" began!
Seeing that other reviewers have done a great job in summation, I'll add: If you appreciate the talent of Dan Brown, Douglas Adams, and James Redfield, you'll certainly appreciate Gary Val Tenuta's research on the subject matter, as well as his skillful art of storytelling. Enjoy the ride, people!
Book Review: Quite a Journey
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was a synchronistic phenomenon for me. I found the book online on 9-9-2007. My personal year is nine. All of my addresses and a telephone number reduce to nine or equal the master numbers Gary talks about throughout the book and to top it off, one of the places mentioned in the book is the town that I grew up in and my address there was 144. It is difficult for me to be objective. I could not put the book down and was stunned over and again as I read further, madly reducing numbers and discovering so much that at one point I became overwhelmed with revealing information regarding the Merkaba, Atlantis, our relationship to our solar system, Paganism, and so much more. It's a great book to read during this shift in human consciousness. Actually it's the most important book I've read during my transformation which started exactly NINE years ago with an American Indian on the Pacific Coast. The Ezekiel Code has helped me weave it together!!! Thankyou GaryBook Review: Sophomoric Creative Writing
Summary: 1 Stars
I used to teach Creative Writing to high school students. The devices Tenuta uses in his writing are as contrived and juvenile as any I ever saw in high school students. I know this isn't high school work because no teenager on the planet could stay focused as long as it would take to write this pitiful excuse for fiction.
It's as if Tenuta initially decided to "teach" the reader numerology by having a main character and then creating a "girlfriend" so he'd have someone to talk to. Once we have "Adam and Eve," conversation ensues. Some of the most boring tedious conversation ever imagined. These two characters have no depth whatsoever. They talk. They smoke (another contrivance because the author can't actually come up with action) and they eat pizza. The reader never knows enough about either character to remotely care what happens to them. Frankly, I was hoping for a totally different ending that would put the planet out of its misery! That might at least have been briefly interesting.
After hundreds of pages of preaching on numerology, the author seems to want to show he's actually read novels himself by bringing in ideas from many different authors. It's as if he read the back covers of major popular novels in the recent past and said, "By Jove, I'll include that in my book." But other than causing the reader to be pulled out of The Ezekiel Code to think, "Well, he got that one from Erik Von Daniken, and that one from Dan Brown, and that one from ...., etc." Instead, he merely advertises his lack of writing ability.
The only reason I actually finished this trash was I have a rule about always completing a book I start no matter how much I dislike the book. I can easily state that this is the worst written book I've ever read. I got it on my Kindle and don't care enough to even try to find out who the publisher is. Whoever it is, should fire the editor that did not stop this from being inflicted on the public. I'd love to demand my money back but what I'd really like is the hours of my life that are gone forever that I invested in reading this unimaginative, predictable, amateurish waste of time and paper and money.
Book Review: Synchronicity at its best - a WOW of a read!
Summary: 5 Stars
There are a lot of good books out there - by new and established authors-
there are some seasoned authors who just don't try as hard anymore -
They better take a good look at this book and see what the new face of competition is...Gary V. Tenuta's The Ezekiel Code!
This book is a compilation of so many philosophies, theories, New Age info, ancient and biblical prophecies - I can tell you this was everything I have learned in my journey of awareness and it all merged into one fantastic book. And it all creates a hold your breath I can't stop reading type of book....
Zeke Banyon, is running the Seattle Gospel Mission - a homeless shelter -
He was going to be a priest, but changed his mind - many of the folks at the shelter call him Father - Ezekiel was named by his mother - she had a dream the night before she gave birth to Zeke that he should be named Ezekiel - and that's what happened....
Zeke needed someone to help him at the Mission and a young woman, Angela Martin seems to be the perfect fit. She organizes the offices and even brings Zeke into the computer age by setting up a computer in her office.
As Zeke comes to the bottom of his pile on his desk, he sees the last shelter manager's 'doodles' on an old calendar - numbers...strange series of numbers.
Together they start a journey that encompasses a mystical code, and references to the Ezekiel Code - Remember Ezekiel? He wrote of a strange craft that really seems like a close encounter of the third kind!!!
Many pieces fit together and they find a mystery unfolding of biblical proportions -
There are powers at work here - the good guys - Members of Nine, and the bad guys, people from organized church who don't want the truth to be told....
Zeke Banyon it seems, is 'The Chosen One' to save the world...really a big burden to weigh on your shoulders, isn't it?
But as this story of discovery blossoms, the right people and information enfolds before Zeke and Angela - synchronicity - there are no coincidences -
You will find yourself playing with the numeric code and even google more than a few things mentioned in the book. Even a healthy dose of the 2012 Mayan prophecy looming and handled in a wondrous style...
You don't have to be an expert on anything - just sit back and fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be the ride of your life!
It was no coincidence I was to read this book.
You will be amazed at this book - big book that speeds by!
