Killing Abel is a fascinating recreation of the bible. This story starts from the origin of creation and goes all the way to Noah's ark. Little by little, Michael Tieman introduces us to the characters and describes scenarios with great clarity. He narrates everything with his unique style and creativity. This novel is attached to the bible and shows a story that keeps you in expectation. The characters are diverse as in the original stories, and here, Michel Tieman gives them very definite personalities and backgrounds. It allows the reader can empathize naturally and have a new perspective of the teachings that forged these stories. The creation of this novel undoubtedly required a great deal of research. Also, Killing Abel is about understanding the bible and assimilating many ideas more easily.

Michel Tieman created a complete novel. His narrative style is easy to follow. The plots are exciting, and he has a lot of attention to detail. The best part is that the story is attached to the bible stories. This book is appropriate for growing interest in Christianity and the bible stories. Although the stories have a lot of original content, their attachment to the old testament is surprising.

Killing Abel has many moments full of intrigue, but if you know the bible stories, you'll know what will happen. That's the only negative detail. Because to a certain point, the story becomes predictable. However, the author enriches the content with quotes from different bibles with notes that give a realistic historical context. In addition, Michel Tieman gives fascinating explanations to the characters. He knew how to interweave the stories together naturally.

Killing Abel maintains a coherent and detailed chronological order. The narration is good, and all the stories are very well-written. The author provides many explanations and details. The attachment to biblical passages is surprising. Michel Tieman has been able to give new life to a series of incredible stories. I particularly liked that there was a lot of historical research involved. His formatting is very well-done. It is for his attention to detail that I give it 4 out of 4 stars.

Killing Abel will undoubtedly be most enjoyable among Christians. But because of its intriguing narrative, it can be read by anyone. In part, it is a recommended reading for young adults because they will have an exciting way to approach the bible. However, older people will also enjoy this book because it has many notes and historical references that enrich the content. I believe that Killing Abel will help many people feel or rekindle an interest in the bible and its teachings. It is a novel you should read.
