It helps to know the story ahead of the lectures. The presenter does a great job of explaining the themes that we all take for granted in our daily lives not knowing the values have been around for thousands of tears.
Need to go slow because of the many characters in the story. Is well presented and exciting. Try to familiarize yourself with the main characters in each chapter/book prior to reading each. Will make it much more enjoyable. List of characters and profile are in the back of the book.
