Killing Abel is one of the greatest book I've read so far. This book helped me look at life in a different perspective including the Time of creation, and Adam and Eve, to that of Noah and the ark. This book is recommendable to those who seek broad knowledge of the fall of Adam.

Despite being someone who is not a practising Christian and hence, ignorant about the Biblical texts, I found the book to be very intriguing. The fantasy fiction part was really enjoyable. Further, I got to learn quite a few things regarding relationships. Chiefly, how mutual trust and respect for each others' wishes are necessary for a relationship to blossom successfully. I've given it 4 by 4 in my review that I'll be submitting tomorrow, after another round of proofreading.

Overall, this book was a good read. I really liked the author's twists in his interpretation of the biblical story. However, there were some of his opinions I didn't agree with. For example, him connoting that Cain was beyond redemption, but to each his own, I guess. I will recommend it for my friends who like a bit of christian theology.

I enjoyed reading this book and rated it 4 out of 4 stars. I liked the flow of the story and the fact that it was written in a simple way. I was impressed by the writer's imagination and even found the story suspenseful. I don't agree with some of his interpretations, though, but it's not difficult to see most of the events as having happened the way he imagined them.

I enjoyed reading this book as it clearly demonstrated events that occurred in the garden. I was fascinated by the writer's depth revelation which made him produce such a masterful piece of writing. Indeed, it must have been truly revealed to him by God. Although the book contained more events not centred around the murder of Abel, I see it as very enlightening. I will gladly recommend it to those who need in-depth knowledge about events that transpired in the garden, and also, how Adam and Eve lived in their early days.

killing Abel is an interesting book that religious people should look up to .The author has tried to describe the fall of man in an interesting way, gives the systematic generation of Adam and Eve to the family of Noah. Teaches on obedience to Elders. It clearly teaches on the book of Genesis chapter 2 to 8.intresting piece

This book introduced me to a new and different dimension to the genesis of man. I often viewed Cane as a deranged and wicked person but later understood that he murdered Abel out of rage and jealousy. I liked that he tried making up for his misdeeds too.

This isn't my typical genre of book but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The way the author explained things I hadn't thought of before was just amazing. I would definitely recommend it to people.

The level of creativity by Michael Tieman is beyond words. The story of Genesis was laid out so well that it felt realistic. The author is talented and has very good knowledge of the Bible. Killing Abel should not be taken too seriously else people might get offended.

I congratulate the author for his vivid imagination. However, some of his embellishments, such as God not being omnipresent and omniscient, did not sit well with me. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the book. It makes a great read.

Killing Abel is a creative interpretation of Genesis: Adam to Noah. Michael Tieman adds flesh to the bible story without changing the original version. Yay to religious fiction.

I really enjoyed this book. It had a lot of impact on me, and thanks to Michael Tieman for coming up with something unique like this. I would love to read more of his books.
Books are a unique form of accessible magic. Reading is required for those who wish to rise above the mundane. If you dislike reading, it's most likely because you haven't found the right book.
