Reviews

[Richard R., Martin · Rating 3 out of 5]

The first three quarters of the book was excellent. Then the author gave Omo (the main character) a dream where Mother Nature tells him that he must warn all his descendants about the evils of religion. Basically the author blames all the world's woes on religion. Now that may be the author's opinion but it is a blatant attack on peoples of faith who are probably the ones most interested in a fictional approach to the story of Adam and Eve. Also, from that point on the story becomes choppy, like the author is trying to wrap up the book. Finally, the Epilogue is weak. Great book in death spiral at the end.

[Kenneth Preston · Rating 5 out of 5]

As a very thoughtful and creative retelling of the Adam and Eve story, "First Adam: The Father of Us All" is ironic in that it isn't predictable, regardless of how well one knows the Bible story. The story is an allegory. The names of the principle characters and settings have been changed. The surprises come in not knowing who or what detail will parallel a character or detail from the Adam and Eve story. Very entertaining and highly recommended!
