Definately a a fictional spin on the whole creation story from the bible but alot of it is also fact and I love the way it is told through every creations eyes. It made for an interesting read to say the least.
reviewed The Beginning (Chronicles of the Door, Bk 1) on
A creative retelling of Genesis through the eyes of angels. The writing is poetic in some places, but mostly it's simple writing (great for reading aloud). The fall of Adam and Eve is gentler than in the Bible and Satan comes across as much more sinister.

It would probably be a wonderful way to introduce the book of Genesis for children or new-comers to Christianity. The story-telling ends when Adam and Eve leave the Garden of Eden, but the writing ends with God approaching Abram.

The one thing to be aware of is that Part III separates itself a lot from the Bible. In Edwards' interpretation, Satan was felled by the Archangels /before/ convincing Adam and Eve to take the fruit of the tree. It's a great drama to include, but it's important for one to consider if one is thinking about using this as a teaching tool.
