It only took me about two days to fly thought this book, and I was really surprised by it.  I'm always a sucker for books that deal with biblical characters in the modern world, whether it's an immortal twist, or something else.  I haven't read a book dealing with the character of Cain before, either, so that was definitely interesting.  It was a bit graphic for my usual tastes, but the reasons for it were obvious so I can't mark down for that.Cain was a bit hard to relate to, but that's typical as for a lot of the book he's supposed to be the bad guy, so you expect him to be kind of manipulative and nasty.  I also found Hara to be somewhat unrelateable, she comes across as a little "too perfect" for my liking, but again that's a personal preference.  For this type of book in this genre, the characters fit so I can't complain too much.If you like this type of book and aren't squeamish about pretty descriptive scenes, I'd say give it a read.  It's definitely different, and different is a good thing.
