simply overwhelming

No God But God: the Origins, Evolution, and Future of IslamNo God But God: the Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam by Reza Aslan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Wow! This book was simply overwhelming. I was not prepared for the incredible complexity and diversity in the history of Islam. The book is well written and organized, but i still struggled to keep up with all the names, places, events, and ideas. I'd like to read more on this subject, but for now, i'll be satisfied that i have a new appreciation for all things Muslim. I especially appreciated the early history, specifically of the Prophet himself, and of his life and times.
