An excellent read! - By: Dan, 28 Sep 2008 
Welcome to Islam is an excellent, timely book, written with a warmth & honesty that you are unlikely to find elsewhere. In it, Lucy Bushill-Matthews takes the reader on a unique journey through her life as a Muslim - from her first tentative steps as a new convert, through to the present day.
By drawing on a wide range of life experiences, ranging from the downright depressing to the immensely funny, Lucy Bushill-Matthews certainly manages to hold & sustain the reader's attention! But its greatest strength liesin the author's ability to illuminate Islamic principles through the use of her deeply personal life story.
The book will therefore appeal to Muslims & non-Muslims alike, & will benefit anyone who takes the time to read it. This won't take long though, since the book is addictive - & very, very hard to put down.
Extremely highly recommended - 5*.
A refreshing read - unputdownable! - By: Somia Shafiq, 02 Sep 2008 I could not put this book down. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Lucy's light-hearted account of her experience of being a Muslim. There were times when I laughed & other times I felt sorrow but overall her narrative allowed me to share her journey with her. It was so refreshing to finally read a book about a Muslim & Islam without references to the negative stereotypes one often reads about or seesin the media. I truly hope that is the first of many books from this new author as this book leaves us with a sense that she has now embarked upon the next chapter of her journey with an adventurein South Africa.
