Title: Unconventional ordering
Product review: If you are looking for a standard Koran, then this is not it. The author/translator has attempted to re-organize the Koran into a chronological arrangement, instead of its traditional arrangement in Sura order.While interesting, the Koran is a collection of sayings and lacks any story or narrative thread, and so the re-ordering of the Sura's just makes it confusing and gives no benefit. It is like re-arranging a dictionary into chronological order instead of alphabetical order. It might be an interesting exercise for scholars of the Koran, but for anyone else it has no benefit.Further, I do not think the re-ordering is successful. For example the universe is not created until 30 or 40 chapters into the re-ordered Suras.
