Killing Abel: Fratricide by M. Tieman covers a large time gap found in the Christian Bible. The author is quite clear that this book is basically fiction not theology. That fact allows one to enjoy the story without getting caught up in fact finding. We start at the infamous apple eating scene and finish with the Flood. We see the author’s view of how a loving Father might deal with his children and their journey through life. The book was intense at times as people, such as Eve and even Cain, dealt with their problems and fears. This story does not treat those first people as barbaric cave dwellers but instead intelligent individuals. While there were a large number of characters in the story, the author included enough description so the reader could keep track. Again, remember this is fiction and don’t get caught up in questioning whether any of this happened or not. I repeat myself because I was distracted at first by the words used by the characters.
There were a couple of sections where words were mistakenly left in sentences. This caused temporary confusion, but I figured out the idea being presented in the sentence. Except for this issue, the flow was clean and clear.
I rate Killing Abel: Fratricide by M. Tieman 4 out of 4 stars. It was enjoyable, easy to follow, and decently edited. I enjoyed the author’s idea of what could have happened “in the beginning”.
