It was shit.
The bible was better. What do you think?
Also, why is blowing on knots bad?
Quran 113:4
And from the evil of the blowers in knots

It was believed that witches would blow on knots to affect the weather, IIRC.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

The quran was more tedious than the bible. I just couldn't finish it. Not to say that the bible is lacking in stretches of tedium.
According to the Skeptic's Annotated Bible, the bible contains more evil passages (e.g. God ordering genocides) but then it is also much longer.

For me it was a wast of time, and left me feeling sad for anyone who could love such a book, and even die for such a book, it had no feeling of love.

If you didn't read it in Arabic, it doesn't count.

The Bible has better stories and it presents two sides of every issue.
The Koran has a few good passages. Some versions are easier to read than others.
The Bible is racist while the Koran isn't. It seems that some people don't like the Koran because of the violent parts but the Bible contains a lot more.
The Koran is short on themes of love and forgiveness. But it doesn't have all of the rules that the Bible has. The ones it does have can be summarized in just a few points.
Despite their flaws they are both better than the Book of Mormon.
