To suggest this book or his others is a hard one. His life was unbelievable sad and disturbing and some people can not read books like this. I really think you, as a reader, need to make your own decision...

The lessons of this book are not new for me (they are the teachings of our prophet Muahammad p.b.u.h)

I like the way the writer arranges his book.
