Alas! My blog has been getting cobwebs and bunny droppings. (Out here in California, you know the neglect of a place is bad when it’s infested by bunnies.) And there’s no excuse for the neglect, either! Actually, my book has been kicking major butt, lately. I have so much good news to share that I don’t know where to begin!
So let’s look at some reviews:
- “5 stars! I did not expect to enjoy this book so much as it isn’t my usual genre. I did read The Da Vinci Code so was curious about the comparison. I think Mr. Barany’s book was far better written. The story held my attention, loved his unusual humor. In fact, I had to force myself to stop reading last night. Would definitely recommend. A real plus is that part of the purchase goes to Bay Area schools.” Mackenzie Jones, Amazon customer
- “5 stars! This book has a compelling story line and was actually hard to put down. The essays at the end of the book were fantastic!” Troy B. Stengel, Amazon customer
- “4 stars! My husband and I read this out loud before bed for about a week. It was so exciting that we read two hours each night instead of our usual one hour.
It’s a fun book to share with a special friend.” June Safran, Amazon customer - “5 stars! Ezra Barany is an excellent writer and storyteller. Was a little concerned that this book was going to have an agenda about Torah Codes, but I was pleasantly surprised. Well crafted and interesting story with Ezra’s trademark humor included.” Stephanie Dangott, Amazon customer
- “5 stars! The book contains a healthy portion of suspense, action, and mystery. This book is a page-turner that I found very difficult to put down. The book has kind of a Dan Brown Da Vinci Code feel to it. The appendix is good reading as well as food for thought and should not be skipped. The author is donating a portion of the book sales to the San Francisco Bay Area Jewish Schools. A good book and helping a good cause is a winning combination!” A.R. Cook, The Book Review
And here’s my favorite:
- “The visceral suspense is a framework from which the writer dangles a far more intriguing intellectual, even spiritual, carrot…Let me put this quite baldly: the question before us is not a fictional one. If The Torah Codes describes a real phenomenon, then we are talking about statistical evidence that the scriptures are indeed supernatural—that is to say, holy, inspired by a force with, at the very least, a god’s-eye-view of history. Including, one might presume, future history.” Ien Nevins, Berkshire Fine Arts book review
So far, my books been received well. And as they say in French: YAY!
And so much more has happened since the launch of The Torah Codes! I’ve been to NY, I’ve been on the radio,…but that’s another post.
