No the most easy read because of the story telling style and because of the general themes in the book. But it's a very important book especially to understand different cultures and the resulting behaviours. 
I didn't like the nonchalant attitude towards cheating on your partner, especially from Salman who definitely had a choice between keep sleeping around and being monogamous.
