asked:
Hey fellow readers, does anyone know of a 'Cliffsnotes' version of this book? First off, I am 39 y/o and NOT reading this as an assignment. Just getting though some classics. I am having a bit of trouble understanding the dream sequences and the names are difficult for an American guy (I m listening to it on audio. I found a guide on B&N for 10$ on the kindle....a bit too pricey for me. Any suggestions! Thanks!

There's an extended essay, really a book, by Paul Brians, a professor at Washington State University. It lists and describes characters, explains some historical references, and mentions connections between the several interwoven plots. This should be just about what you want. (None the less, some parts of the novel, esp. section VII "The Angel Azreel", require patience and careful reading.) You should be able to search for Brians's piece online.

Lol thank you, Angelo, I am having the same difficulty with the audio version! I'm about half way through the book and I have had to replay a lot of it just to make sure I was understanding what was going on. I think I may just have to switch the physical book..... I used this synopsis just to confirm I was understanding everything: https://www.gradesaver.com/the-satani...
