Review of Killing Abel
[Following is a volunteer review of "Killing Abel" by Michael Tieman.]
Killing Abel by Michael Tieman tells the action-packed tale of the first human and his descendants. The author attempts to retell the biblical tale of Adam and Eve from a unique perspective that sheds light on their deeds and behaviour while also explaining why they were wrong about falling into Lucifer's trap. Every biblical story is presented in this book in great depth and with an incredibly careful structure that, in the end, ties everything together. The book highlights significant incidents from the stories, such as how Abel's sibling committed the first sin in human history and how Noah was able to save life on earth thanks to God's instruction and prophecy. A reworked biblical tale is engagingly presented by the author, and every plot hole is attempted to be filled.
I enjoyed reading this book because it brought back memories of my early years when my grandma would read me many Adam and Eve tales. Even if the plot is complex, the author's language is straightforward, so there is never a risk that it will be misunderstood. Furthermore, I appreciated the author's considerable effort in explaining why each character is compelled to execute a particular action and why that action is significant in the overall scheme of things. I especially like the author's inclusion of Lucifer and God's general thought processes, which are quite accurate and consistent with biblical teachings.
I believe the first half of the story started slowly and could have been sped up. I also thought the later portions of the story were too fast, and I thought the ending was a little too abrupt because I was curious about what would happen next. I wish the author had kept writing after the last chapter. But overall, I had a great time reading this book and didn't mind those tiny flaws much.
The plot of this book is so intriguing that I have a strong feeling that anyone who starts reading it won't stop until the book is finished, since it keeps readers guessing as to what will happen next. Additionally, this book is exceptionally well-edited because there are no grammatical faults in it. Given everything mentioned above, I would like to offer this book a perfect rating of 5 out of 5 stars for its captivating plot.
Anyone interested in learning more about God's and Lucifer's motivations and how they differ so greatly, as well as a fascinating account of human genesis from a biblical perspective, should find this book to their liking.
