I found the best way to engage with was taking it one book at a time and to listen to it whilst reading along. This text makes you put in the work, but it's worth doing. It's very self important but it's earned the right to be. It's easy to forget that this is not actually an authority on Christian scripture. I loved getting so much of Satan's perspective. It falls off towards the end as the last 2 books are just the bibles greatest hits, and the sheer number of references is almost suffocating, but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
