Official Review: First Family by Alice Langholt

[Ezemecky]

It is an interesting book,I love the settings!

I am really impressed by the books author, Alice Langholt. I initially wrote that I had read the first 10 or so pages and was a little put off by the religious themes. She reached back out to me directly to help clarify that, although it was a 'biblical fiction', it told a story of humanity, connection, longing, love, grief, and parenting. Topics that anyone could relate to. She is obviously passionate about this book and holds it closely to her heart. I am going to keep reading it and I urge others to do the same. I cannot resist an author that cares enough to personally talk to her audience. I cannot express the amount of respect I have for her.

Amazing review! Makes me even more excited to read. I've read the book of Genesis more than I can count. It'll be interesting to get a whole new perspective... Love the concept of this book and I'm excited to feel what the characters feel and see what they see.

I loved reading the sample of this book. I found it to be a unique and refreshing take on an old tale.

All I can say to this book. It was amazing! Really cool! It was like reading a bible verse in the book of Genesis. I really like this book and highly recommend this book specially to those who have not yet read a bible. Rating for this is 4 out 4!

I love your review. There is just so much compassion for the story and each character.I have never heard a version of the story about the first family. This is very unique. Im glad it's for free

I wouldnt think this book was about Adam and Eve from the cover.

[Aldonsa]

A new point of view on the Adam and Eve family. Unusual historical fantasy for those, who love biblical themes.
Thank you for the review!

Free re-imagined story of the real first family. I'll be anxious to read each "character's thoughts & reactions" to the Biblical events that are so familiar. Thanks for an insightful review!

This review did a really good job addressing the major qualms a reader might have on first hearing about the book's content. Both religious and secular readers could have their own questions, and the reviewer thoroughly explained what to expect. The review also did a great job explaining the book's appeal - having read the preview, I felt like I had basically gotten the gist, and would be content not reading more. However, the reviewer's explanation of what was so compelling about Cain and Abel's story definitely passed the bug on to me.

This is interesting, I've never thought of approaching the first family's story in this light. Thank you for the review, I got a copy today.

I wouldn't have pegged this as a Bible retelling from the cover. Also, kudos on the review because it's so compelling that I'm definitely reading the book soon.
