Hmmm really fascinating, nice one. At first it's suspenseful giving you reasons to want to finish it & not reading it half. Makes one to be eager to know it in full

'I was also pleased with the amount of
descriptions used in this book. The Garden of
Eden is legendary, and reading Ms. Langholt’s
words, I was able to see the many animals,
taste the various fruits, and hear the rushing
river like never before. After the hapless couple
was kicked out of the garden, I could picture
the less than tranquil land they were banished
to, and I felt as worried as Adam did.' as she said earlier, this is the climax of the book. I loved it too

First Family is a very interesting book. At first, I thought I thought it would be about a biography of a first family of a certain president. But then, to my surprise, it was about Adam, Eve, Cain & Abel the family that started it all. Upon reading the book, you will be intrigued and wouldn't be able to put the book down just because you want to know what will happen next. What's also interesting is that you get to read it with different point of views.

Sounds fascinating! I wonder if there are any others, or ones in the pipeline - Noah or Joseph (he of the coat, not Mary's husband, though then again, why not ...) have possibilities.

I like your review. The book easily caught my attention but I am sad I remember my unhappy past about my family. Anyway, thanks for your thoughts in this book.
