This is my best story too. The misunderstanding and how Adam walked away from Eve. How they both missed each other and the relief when Adam finally returned. That story was truly fascinating.

Yeah. It was nice to read about this too. I also found it amazing since it isn't covered in the Bible. The author was very creative.

I also found Noah's story likable. Especially after learning that he was actually helped in building the Arc. Previously, I thought he did this single handedly.

I found this interesting too. How they searched for forgiveness from their father... How Adam started offering burnt sacrifices, how they realized how strong their feelings for each other was. This story was amazing.

It was during Noah's story. He shows a consistent faith even though others perceive it jokingly.

My favorite story is the one of Adam and Eve. This was shown in chapter one, how the serpent told Eve to eat the apple. And Eve told Adam and he did eat too. They where driven out if the Garden of Eden. The story talked about disobedience. It’s a perfect story to me.

Noah's story was for the most interesting, he consistent faith was admirable as well as the building of the ark.

I probably liked the story of Cain and Eva the best. It's hard to say, though. There are just so many interesting stories in this book.

I think my favourite would have to be when Noah was building the ark, that was the most interesting part for me. That being said, Cain and Eva's story also added a new twist to it which was interesting.

The story of caining a son in Adam and Eve was amazing. I felt like the Bible hide so much from us.

Yes I agree with you. Although it differs from the bible I think it’s a great adaptation and interesting theory to use for a work of fiction. Even though I live the story of creation in the bible. Noah’s story in this novel was definitely my favourite.

I'm between Cain and Noah, honestly. Cain's story was very interesting and imaginative, but I felt the descriptions in Noah's story were really strong, as well.
