Book Reviews of The Satanic Verses: A Novel (Bestselling Backlist)
Book Review: The unforgivable sin? Not reading this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
For anyone who is not Islamic, or with the Quoran, as I was not when I first read this book, it is an eye opening experience into the beauty and wonder of that belief. The imagery is breathtaking, and the overall moral nature inspiring. I can certainly understand why an Islamic fundementalist might be extremely agitated by the contents; but without this book, I might never have appreciated the faith as much. Perhaps someday someone will do as fine a job of supplying a parody of the Bible so we can see what the right wing fundemendalist Christians do about it. I can only hope for an outstanding work like this to come along again.
