The book works on so many levels that you don't need to be in a certain religion to enjoy it. I for one, lean towards the agnostic/atheist side yet gave the book a perfect score in my review.

It was a great book. The author was respectful of the original text. His fictional account was delightfully imaginative but also very plausible. Plausible in that some of his 'answers' could actually help one understand the bible better and empathize with both God and the characters in Genesis. I'd give it a 4 out of 4 stars rating

My overall rating of the book is a four out of four. The author's creative imagination colored the story with vivid and subtle colors. The author's new perspective ignited a spark. This spark fueled the fire of thinking outside the box and taking in a new perspective trend.

This is definitely a four-star book. There is a lot of good material in the Christian bible, and the author makes the most of it, brings the classic stories to life in a new and very imaginative way.

I have read and reviewed Killing Abel Michael Tieman. I liked the book very much. Though I'm a non-Christian, this book intrigued me to such an extent that I'm looking forward to read the Bible really soon.

This book contained stories from the Bible with a little fictional touch. I rate it four out of four points.

Using imagination to bring a well known bible story to life is something very commendable and shows the extent of the author’s creativity. However, non-religious people may not have as much appreciation for this book. Owing to my faith, I know I will love to read this botm.

Coming up with the idea of turning bible into fiction was excellent and it is easy for Christians to multiply because the book is much more open than the bible making people understand better. This is of help to non-Christians who have a lot of misconceptions about the religion.

I really enjoyed the book, I know it was a work of fiction but there were some points where I really stopped and thought about certain ideas that the author had pointed out. I also really liked how right throughout the book the author made references to specific bible verses, which made it easier for me to refer to the bible and see it for myself. Overall, I'd rate this book a 4 out of 4. I think people from all religious backgrounds can enjoy this book.

This book is based on stories and words from the old testament In the Christian Bible. The killing Abel is a book that follows the story from Adam to Noah. I like the story of Even, Adam And the snake. They are the forbidden fruit, and God banishes them from heaven. I also like the story of jealousy; how Cain killed able. The book was an exciting read, and I did enjoy it.

I had a hard time getting the book, couldn't get it from Amazon, but you can download it in a special format under today's BOTD link, and there is information available on how to get the book in the folder you're usually reading from (phone, Kindle...).
I also had a really hard time downloading the book! Anyways, I think the author provides an interesting perspective regarding the Bible. I like how he uses his creativity to fill in the blanks during undocumented periods. I am not an overly religious person, but this book won me over in creativity. I rate it 4 out of 4!
The fact that we can have different ways to download a book makes this website a gem. I'd also rate the book 4 out of 4 stars. It's not easy revising the bible in the angle the author took.

I once read this book and reviewed it. It is really a captivating book as events in it goes hand in hand with those in the bible. Cain was possessed with the tree of knowledge and his envy made him kill his only brother,Abel.

I haven't read it yet. I might not read it at all as am not a Christian and Biblical references might be incomprehensible for me.

I haven't read the Bible but doesn't know about Adam and Eve. Though this book is based on Christianity but it is equally suitable for Non- christians too... I am a Muslim but find this book too interesting. The book provides several life lessons. It describes various life lessons such as love, guilt, hate, fear, Anger, happiness, sadness, etc. I recommend this book to the people who love gathering historical information, without getting bothered by the fact that it is based on some religious aspect.
