Re: Book title

Post by Nelson Reviews »

The plots in this novel are well connected; the read is overwhelming hence changing a thing in the plots will be unnecessary! But, I think the The Book Title focused too much on one plot. If it was up to me; I would call this book Man and God.

I think the title is perfect. Most suitable for the story. Killing Abel was an event that gave way to other events in the Bible. The title is very significant and appropriate.

It is a 'catchy' book title. The author has given a dramatic point of view to an incident that many have already heard about

While the title is interesting and caught my attention, I believe the title should be more related to the content of the book. The author could have chosen another title so that it would be more clear as to what the book is about.

Although the book does not completely focus on the killing of Abel, choosing this as the title has given the book a different feel. At first, just by reading it, the book seems to be some crime or action genre. So the title seems quite catchy.

The title of the book is okay because the story of Cain and Abel was also in the book so the title is good.

I don't think the title was correct however, it was catchy and made the book inviting and that's what titles should be about.

I absolutely agree. I think as the killing of Abel was the first event of malice in the new world which spawned an entire downhill spiral, the title does well in depicting possibly the second-most important event (mistake) in the Creation.

I also don't think the Title should have been Killing Abel. Because even half of the story didn't talk about Abel. But still, I don't have a better title for this book. So I would go with the author's.

I think the title is fantastic and has obviously put on a lot of thoughts. Sharing a different point of view- from marketing's standpoint, this is actually an excellent choice for a book title. It sounds controversial. When there's controversy, there's buzz. And people will always notice what's it about. Just my two cents.
Happy reading,
Gelli xoxo

I think it's a good title. It's catchy and it made me want to more about the story inside.
We’re gonna need a bigger bookshelf.

The tittle at first glance appeals to your taste for murder, crime. But the idea might be to catch the audience first to find out what could be printed within. In all it is a great be from reviews seen. My attention has been pulled to check it out

I agree that the title presents the book as a true crime novel and not a religious book. Judging from its content though, I can say the title is indeed befitting. It doesn't aptly cover all that was mentioned in the book, but it's still okay considering the author's intentions.

The title "Killing Abel" grabbed my attention when I first saw it, so it served that purpose. I agree that this book is so much more than just that story, but I agree with a previous reader who said that the rest of the book is a result of that single dastardly deed.
