Thank you NetGalley & U of Iowa Press for providing me with an e-ARC of this book in exchange of an honest review.

I don’t think I would rate this with stars (giving 3 on NetGalley because I can’t submit it without stars and I’m on the fence with how I’d rate this one)

This book was honestly a bit difficult to get through. Not sure if it was the writing style or the NetGalley ebook being so messy, but it took me (3+) months to get through this book that’s less than 200 pages. I did learn a lot about oral history, which is fascinating to me. The bits about calling the prophet the narrator of the Quran are very uncomfortable to me, so yea books by non-Muslims about these matters tend to be, strange (when not explicitly bad lol). Overall it was an ok book imo
