Reviews

– Michael Zam, former Associate Director of Programs in Humanities at NYU is also an award winning instructor, screenwriter and playwright.

“Part wish-fulfillment romantic comedy, part edge-of-your-seat end-of-the-world action thriller: it’s as if Nora Ephron wrote The Bourne Identity, but even she probably wouldn’t have handled this mix of genres with the dexterity of Horowitz. In fact, her storytelling —twisty, sexy, smart — is so skillful; it’s hard to believe this is her debut novel.”

– Dennis Shasha, co-author of Iraq’s Last Jews

“Marilyn Horowitz paints a rich picture of lapsed Jews, angels, and people having miraculous abilities to survive, foretell, and sometimes alter the future. Her book plays at the borders of the normal and the supernormal, of lust and faith.”

- Dennis Shasha, co-author of Iraq’s Last Jews

– Kenneth John Atchity, Hollywood film producer and author of The Messiah Matrix

“This provocative novel weaves together suspenseful action, torrid sex, wrenching emotion, Jewish mysticism, and the deepest fears at the heart of our times.”

- Kenneth John Atchity, Hollywood film producer and author of The Messiah Matrix

– Jon Land, bestselling author of Strong Darkness

“The Book of Zev reads like Carl Hiaasen at his best, transplanted from Florida to New York with more deft plotting and far greater stakes. Wherever they are, Elmore Leonard and Donald Westlake will be fighting for the first copy of this wildly entertaining, timely thriller.”

- Jon Land, bestselling author of Strong Darkness

– Larry D. Thompson, Best-selling author of The Insanity Plea

“A spellbinding story of international intrigue, suspense, love and survival. Prepare for sleepless nights.”

- Larry D. Thompson, Best-selling author of The Insanity Plea

– Mark Rubinstein, award-winning author of Mad Dog House and Love Gone Mad

“The Book of Zev is a devilishly delicious feast. A deeply imagined comedic thriller, it blends Kabbalah, the Bible, contemporary times, geopolitics, and life’s absurdities in Portnoyesque fashion. It’s a thriller evoking both laughter and nail-biting tension with each turn of the page. It’s pure gold from a very talented writer.”

- Mark Rubinstein, award-winning author of Mad Dog House and Love Gone Mad

– Abby Westlake, Wife of Donald Westlake

“A fun book, original and full of surprises.”

- Abby Westlake, Wife of Donald Westlake

– Chap Taylor, screenwriter, Changing Lanes

“The Book of Zev is a fast paced political thriller that never loses sight of its heart; a skeptical women searching for love and a faith she can live with, all while saving the world. A truly original heroine.”

- Chap Taylor, screenwriter, Changing Lanes

– DP Lyle, award-winning author of the Samantha Cody and Dub Walker thriller series

“THE BOOK OF ZEV is a dark comedic thriller that revolves around Zev Bronfman, an angry, virgin, atheist cab driver, Sarah Hirshbaum, a depressed, redheaded, God-hating kosher chef, and Sarah’s former lover and the current Iranian head of state, who believes he must bring on Armageddon and the Second Coming. Funny, fast-paced, and highly enjoyable.”

- DP Lyle, award-winning author of the Samantha Cody and Dub Walker thriller series

– Omar Tyree, New York Times bestselling author of The Traveler: Welcome to Dubai

“Sometimes a woman’s gotta do what a woman’s gotta do. A sharp psychological thriller of high intellect about a woman making some hard choices for the right reasons to stop an international catastrophe.”

- Omar Tyree, New York Times bestselling author of The Traveler: Welcome to Dubai
