Book title

The title definitely caught my attention! However, it would probably be a disappointment and somewhat misleading for the book to not completely relate to the title in my opinion. After all, that's what the title is for.

I don't think it is irrelevant. At first I was hesitant, I almost think it just featured Abel and then the story no longer revolves him. But after ponderously analyzing it, I think the story does not literally meant to showcase only Abel. Perhaps the qualities that will be associated to him resembles the stories. Such as the tragic incident of murdering him.

I think the title is a great fit. It regards that the death of Abel went a long way to cast a spell on Cain and his progeny. As the author puts it, the destruction of humanity was due to the rotting society of Nod mainly and other parts of Adam's square

I think it was intentional. Come to think of it, the main story arc is about Cain and Abel and the story circled back to them at the end.

I personally thought that this book was a murder mystery rather than a religious book. I don’t think the title particularly suits the book just because it’s not an accurate representation of what the novel is about.

I think it's a pretty good title, because it definitely catches your attention. In addition to that, I think that the author chose that title because the book kind of revolves around it. In the beginning the author spoke about Adam and Eve and how they changed everything for mankind. Then after awhile things begin to return to some sense of normalcy when Adam and Eve start to build a life for them and their children and all that. BUT that all changes when Cain kills Abel and runs off. That was the pinnacle moment. Without that moment, (according to the story) life would have continued on the way it was. So yes, the book does go all the way to Noah's time but had Cain not killed Abel I don't think that God would have had a need to have Noah build the ark, thus eliminating his role in God's plan. Overall, I think it was a pretty good title choice, but that's just my take on it!

Yes. The murder is the turning point where humankind was split into two groups that would meet only much later. This division is the main theme of the book. Everything from that page and on just elaborates on the matter.

Though it is the author's choice, I do think the title of the book should majorly revolve around the protagonist which wasn't the case here.

I think the title should be in relevance with the major plot of the story rather than catchy because it helps the reader to understand the genre of the book. And, as said, from the title the book looked like a thriller but turned out to be a religious book. So, in my opinion, the author should have reconsidered the title again.

The title is quite exciting and intriguing.

The book title is excellent. It will attract and grab the reader's attention. It also poetry's essential story in the book. And the killing of Abel is an important and significant story in the book.

Honestly, no. But maybe the author originally thought of enlightening the readers on the reasons why Abel was killed. The other stories, all the way to Noah, came as a result of this initial concept. That's just my guess.

I agree. Killing of Abel is a very important story in the book. After reading this book, I have a feeling that the author concentrated more on this story than all the other stories. For that reason, I believe this was the original idea of writing this book.

Yes, and likely to attract a larger number of audience, especially because the story of Cain and Abel is a popular one. Even those who are not familiar with other biblical stories may have heard of it.

I honestly don't think this title is irrelevant. The story of Cain and Abel occupies a large part of this book. Maybe the idea was to attract the attention of the audience and introduce them to, among other stories, the improved version of the story of Cain and Abel.
