I had a pretty chaotic time of it, reading bits of it over the course of what turned into a simultaneously painful and hilarious evening on the mean streets of Melbourne (and then finishing it, hours later, in bed). Listening to the audio the day after really helped cement it for me, so I suspect you'll do OK.
