How customer reviews and ratings work
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed.
It's Ok, but not really worth reading. Maybe useful to students but it neither a good 'reader' or a great introduction to the subject. I will persist with it, dull and dry as it is, but it is so similar to other introductions to Islam, without the academic thoroughness I expected from the University of Chicago Press. First year Undergraduate level introduction, which the average reader and a serious student would probably do well to avoid.
