You should!! We can talk about it! :D (Icon love!)

Yeah, I suppose having read the book before makes the timelines a little more comprehensible, but I don't remember being confused the first time around either, and I remember being pleased with myself on the first read for figuring out what the chapter-introducing scenes were a couple of chapters before the actual reveal (not the specific thing he was doing, but at least in general what it related to). I think in particular I noticed that I wasn't tempted to skip over any of the sections this time, even to get to my favorite parts, because everything else was so interesting too.
