Thorin's review
Muhammad: A Prophet for Our Time (Eminent Lives) by Karen Armstrong
This was another audiobook selection of mine. The version I have I believe was read by the author. It was not bad as far as audiobooks go; the author's voice could be a tad bit irritating at times but it didn't bother me that much. I finished reading it on the last day of Ramadan which was nice timing. I used this book as an introduction to islam and to the foundation of what is today the muslim faith. I knew very little about Muhammad and feel this book gave me a fairly good portrait of who he was and what the times were like in which he lived. I would like to know more about the Qur'an and about the islamic faith as a whole and historically but this book was a good starting point and I'm glad I read it.
