Review of Killing Abel
[Following is a volunteer review of "Killing Abel" by Michael Tieman.]
Killing Abel by Michael Tieman is a work of historical fiction that tells the story of the lives of God's first creations, Adam and Eve, as they lived in the Garden of Eden. This book takes us back to the book of Genesis in the old testament of the Bible, as it covers the story of the forbidden fruit and other stories in the Bible.
The book begins with the moments Eve saw the serpent, Lucifer, eating from the tree of knowledge, which Adam had earlier on told her to stay away from. Lucifer then deceived Eve, and with the help of Eve, he also deceived Adam into eating from the tree of knowledge that God instructed them not to eat from. Lucifer's intention was to have Adam and Eve as his subjects who would procreate for him. Adam and Eve's act of disobedience made God cast them out of the Garden of Eden. They got married and gave birth to their first child, Eva. They also had two sons, Cain and Abel, among their other children. What could have happened to Abel, who is Cain's younger brother? To find out more about this book, get a copy of it.
The book contains a lot of positive aspects, which I really appreciate the author for. I would begin with the storyline of the book. I love how the author created a story similar to that of the popular story in the Bible about God's first creations. Michael Tieman is really creative, and I loved the way the characters were well-developed. I learned a lot from the book, but the best part was when Adam felt guilt immediately after eating from the tree of knowledge because he knew he had disobeyed God. I also learned that all men have free will, but we shouldn't abuse it. At some point, I wished Adam and Eve had never disobeyed God. I also love the fact that Adam and Eve strongly believed that, with the help of God, they would give birth to a male son, and they didn't relent on their prayers to God. This shows that God is merciful. Finally, I love the fact that the book has a lot of lessons to learn from.
I really disliked and felt uncomfortable with the way the characters were getting married to their family members. Abel and Eva got married to each other, and I feel it's not proper as a Christian, as Christianity kicks against incest. I also found no grammatical errors in the book. This shows it was exceptionally well-edited.
I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. I deducted a star because of the negative aspect of the book that is stated above. I recommend this book to Christians who love reading fictional books because they will find it interesting and educational.
