   um, would you pay $20 for the best selling book of the yr? as a paperback? I did not reflect so. So don’t waste your $ on this one. This book does not merit a review. It is TERRIBLE!!!!! And beware of the additional reviews. They are written by friends of the leader. If you want to waste your money on this book as I did then its your fault. You have been warned.

   Based on the title of this book alone, which lead me to belive it could just be a cheesy rip-off of the “Da Vinci Code,” I had my reservations. As it turns out, they were not unfounded.

   This tale reads like a made-for-TV screenplay and seems to pander to the lowest common denomiator. The two main characters are described as shallow, chain-smoking, coffee-guzzling, pizza-loving simpletons. Who were they modeled after, the teenage mutant ninja turtles, sans the martial arts skills?

   Although the alpha-numerics referred to throughout the tale would be reasonably intriguing, especially to a novice, the plot itself was mind-numbingly predictable every step of the way. As for the tale’s finale, I establish it to be frustratingly anti-climactic and, in keeping with the rest of the book, rather predictable. The leader also wasn’t shy about invoking some really terrible (albeit, mainstream) astrophysics. But that’s a whole additional can of worms, so don’t get me ongoing on that!

   All in all, if watching TV is among your favorite past-times, then this book is probably for you. Dan Brown is, in my opinion, a consumate tale-teller. Sorry to say, Gary Val Tenuta ain’t no Dan Brown. Not by a long shot.

   Oh, and Mr. Tenuta? For your information, the Star Wars series was made by George Lucas – NOT Steven Spielberg. Sheesh!

   Ezekiel Code is a long (676 pages) and dull book. In my opinion, the leader, 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 made never seemed real with all their sham 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 intricate 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 bring shame on too because with proper editing (or any editing at all), this might have been a excellent book.

   If you are looking for a excellent suspenseful, controversial-type mystery, I suggest Angels & Demons by Dan Brown. It’s fantastic; I couldn’t place it down!

   I like adventure type novels, with interwoven science and past and religious plots but this one just limits on the ridiculous. There is no character development, just page after page of numerology. I reflect it is a thinly veiled attempt to convert people to numerology and paranoid thinking, with not enough adventure writing in between to catch your attention. I confess to not completing it, but I really tried hard – after all, I wanted my money’s worth from the download – but still only got 45% of the way through the book. DONT BUY IT.

   This was sooo dull. All about numbers and numerology – very small plot. Not worth the buy!
