"Good book. I loved the premise. I had a hard time in the first few chapters because I felt some things were not laid out clearly enough. However, the book held my attention and I hope to read the other two in the series. "

— Ami, 8/28/2013" What a neat premise: what if The Fall wasn't instantaneous, but Adam and his children slowly degenerated (as witnessed by their extraordinarily long lives between the Fall and the Flood)? And what would it have been like to live along side your grandparents back five or six generations? "
— Ron, 10/26/2012" Absolutely LOVED this book. My only regret is that it took me two years to pick it up. (Sorry Ken). Fabulous telling of what pre-flood earth might have been like. Loved it. Don't know if I'll give it back. :P "
— Megan, 4/4/2011" One of my heart's desires is to return to Eden where there is perfect communion with Elohim, my creator. This book is a work of fiction fantasy, what it may have been like and the age old battle of defeating the deceiver. "
— Susan, 1/8/2011" Great book written from the perspective of time before the birth of Noah and the flood. Very interesting observations about the interactions of man and nature after the Fall. "
— Marcie, 11/30/2010" Excellent book. The Biblical basis made me go back and re-read my Bible for more fact-finding on his ideas. I was shocked at how much I had "missed" in my readings of Genesis. Most interesting! "
— Carla, 5/1/2010" Very fun read. If you like dystopian, apocalyptic, or preflood history...this fits the bill. "
