Story4.5 out of 5 stars 139
Muhammad's was a life of almost unparalleled historical importance, yet for all the iconic power of his name, the intensely dramatic story of the prophet of Islam is not well known. In The First Muslim, Lesley Hazleton brings him vibrantly to life. Drawing on early eyewitness sources and on history, politics, religion, and psychology, she renders him as a man in full, in all his complexity and vitality. Hazleton's account follows the arc of Muhammad's rise from powerlessness to power, from anonymity to renown.

The narrator
Reviewed: 01-16-23
Liked listening to the context but not the narrator as she didn’t pronounce many Arabic words correctly. More effort could have been put to ensure that.

Poor Narration
Reviewed: 08-25-13
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I love audio books and I have listened to Khalid Hosseini's first two books and loved the experience! But not this one, unfortunately. I wish Khalid Hosseini had read the entire book himself. The other two narrators were very disappointing. Heavily accented, slurred speech at times, made it hard to listen leave alone enjoy the experience. Sorry about that!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Abdullah. I felt his pain on parting with his sister.
Did the narrators do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Nope.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Maybe not.
