Familiar with it only in the sense of historical research and why it's not scriptural but unsound doctrine.
2 Timothy 4:3-4
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."
It's a fable or to go into some of the history, it belongs to a group of many (close to 40 or more) pseudepigraphal books that were written long after the original 66 books of scripture. Ethiopians, Mormons and other religions use the book of Enoch as an "extra" to their many other false religious works which often contradict the Bible. Some claim that the quote of Enoch by Jude are identical but that's not by mistake; the alikeness in the verses is due to the copyists who wrote Enoch used the quote from the book of Jude. The early church knew nothing of the existence of the book of Enoch as it didn't exist then.
The book of Revelation is the sum of everything in the Bible and everything to come. Look only to one Bible and the warning I gave before on this -- I give again (not from me but from God):
Revelation 22: 18 & 19
"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."
