Martin Ligs tiene un don inusual para la narración. Ha adoptado un estilo extremadamente legible y que refleja a un tiempo tanto la sencillez como la grandeza de la historia. El resultado es un libro que será leí­do con igual placer por quienes ya están familiarizados con la vida de Muhammad como por quienes se acerquen a ella por primera vez.
