![]() ![]() ![]() Yes, you may need to check the plot outline on wiki, or even consider a study guide (not needed but probably would add a lot). Actor Sam Dastor is probably the world's expert on Indian accents and from the first minutes of the audiobook (definitely listen to the sample!) you know you'll be in for a treat. To try to read these without an accent takes away much of the joy of this book. Each of the very memorable characters has a unique accent, coming as they do from different parts of India, the U.K., and even (for one brief moment) the U.S. Unfortunately, quite a few people abandon Satanic Verses in book form as being "incomprehensible" and strangely "flat." The problem is that although "Verses" is a difficult book, rightly compared with the complexity of Joyce's "Ulysses," it's not "impossible" by any means. Use an audiobook to really enjoy Satanic Verses ![]()
