Reads wonderfully as a narrative, while still retaining the authenticity and properness of a historical chronicle. I did occassionaly get lost in the sea of names and places, but helpful charts and footnotes help with clarification, and it isn't bad enough to distrupt the flow of the book. Overall, Muhammad by Martin Lings is a great read -- very informative, insipirational and insightful.
