Good Premise
Posted July 08, 2010
By fanforchrist2009,
I decided to read "Enoch" for the same reason I wanted to read "Dark Moon", one of his earlier works. Yet like "Dark Moon", it has its moments of grandeur but in the end is disappointing. Henick Jaredson (note the clever last name) is a man walking the streets of rural Texas when an elderly couple drive up to him in a pickup. They and many others, including an FCC agent, an FBI agent, and a local Texas policeman are soon thrust into an intriguing chain of events which sounds an important alarm for the world. With a unanimous message unexpectedly popping up through every major media outlet heralding Enoch's purpose, the world soon learns that either the world's largest Internet prank is being executed, or it is something supernatural, which naturally draws staunch opposition from numerous skeptics. Mary-Martha Celestine, founder of a 12,000+ member cult group is met by a force beyond her comprehension, and her driving quest is now to find and use Henick to her own benefit.
"Enoch" used a great and as far as I know original premise with which to illustrate its message in novel form. I thought it was a bit slow in areas, but at times it was quite enjoyable. The ending, however, was agonizingly quick. Great on the idea, all right on the execution of it. But I'll contiue reading more of Gansky's books.
