review 1: Very interesting book. It mixes fact within a fictional novel setting. There are those who live the prophecy and those who force or try to manipulate the prophecies to fit their own interpretations. What would you do if you discovered your name encoded in the Torah? The last section of the book was especially interesting to me. It advised one not to try to predict the future based on Torah code search input. Would we really want to know the future if it were available? Perhaps. It would be fun to have a copy of this Torah computer search program but one must understand ancient Hebrew linguistics to interpret any discoveries correctly and even then it would be easy to make mistakes as the author astutely points out and explains why. I have often wondered if intellig... moreence actually experiences eternal rounds and if we knew we would experience a forgetting, would we try to encode important historical hinge events in different ways through gifted and spiritually sensitive prophets so we could avoid the pitfalls and life changing errors in the next round? It would be fascinating to say the least. It was informative and I enjoyed reading it and where it took my thought process because I do believe in a pre-existence and after-mortality existence.
review 2: I wish I could put an additional star on the rating system for this book. Why you ask? Because it really isn't a Jewish Da Vinci Code but the concept is similar. It's got it's own oomph and it's own thriller-paced addiction. I really didn't know what I was getting into when I found myself with this book in my hands. I really wasn't even expecting to find it all that interesting: 1/ because I haven't a clue about anything Jewish really, and 2/ because I get "Are you Jewish?" too often and find it irritating because I'm adopted and for all I know I could be Jewish--by ethnicity not by faith, if you get me... Ok, back to the book. THE TORAH CODES is really fascinating, and no offense but I skipped the prologue for the end, after I read Ezra's Facts section actually to be exact. The opener scenes were exactly what a thriller's opener scenes should be... little bit of thrill, little bit of funny, and a whole lot of "WTF, MATE?!" Cause to be quite honest we don't know anything, the characters don't know anything and to pretend that we do or read that THEY do ALREADY would be ... well fake. This was genuinely funny, thrilling and WTF all rolled into ... what three scenes within the first chapter. Point, blank, sold. I was falling in love with Ezra's bipolar nutcase of a MC from that very first chapter... Why? I guess I have a soft spot for special people... *clears throat*Anyway, I loved the book. I am not a genre specific reader but my main focus usually is Children's and Young Adult's... But I am glad that I read this book.... and plan to reread it a few more times for additional kicks... Bonus: As I read this on the plane to Wisconsin a while ago, I was asked about it from a fellow passenger - I was only like maybe a third the way through and I was already raving about it to this guy I didn't know and his entire family standing by all of them nodding to my excitement over this BOOK. Call me crazy.... Dooooo It. I dare ya, and then READ THIS BOOK! :) less
