I beleieve the book title is appropriate as Cain was the first son of Adam and Eve to be rebellious and want to find the tree of knowledge. This rebellious nature was then passed to other generations which is what resulted to other events in the future.

I think it does fit, by just reading the title you will know what to expect, if you are Christian. I think the author wanted to simplify it

I don't think the title really fits. Initially i thought the book was solely about Cain and Abel. I read the book and discovered more. I think a more broad title would have been better.

Because the book does not majorly concentrate on Abel, it's covers the Bible all the to the time of Noah.
I think the book title is appropriate. Everyone who has read or being taught about the Bible would have heard of this event.

As I read, I'm beginning to think it should be called 'Revisions.

But I think I may understand the name, maybe the authors intention was to show that he's writing from the human side of things, the relatable side.
Yes the Revision is the best title for this book.

The title is amazing and contains nice suspense. My only challenge was that it did not accommodate other themes in this book.

I think the title didn't sufficiently cover the plot of the book. While the death of Abel was an important event, it was not really the climax of the book.

I thought so too, the book doesn't center on only the killing of Abel, so I see the title as an unjustified one.

Hmm. This is true and insightful.

I felt the book title was not representative of the score of its contents. Because of that, I would suggest a different title.

Exactly my thoughts too. The book summarized the bible stories and not just Abel's death.

I would have preferred the author used a more broad title that covered the entire scope of this book.

Asking if the title was correct is not really a good question to ask, course this is not a research examination where there are guidelines to follow for you to do get distinctions.

I think the best way to ask the question is "Do you feel like the title of the book was of a good choice"

Anyways, having to give my opinion I love the title that the writter decided to come up with. Because this book's turning point was when Cain killed Abel.

I perfectly understand if the author picked this title as a suitable read-bait, because I can't think of a better befitting title!
