Yes, i went back and re-read this in 2005. Sadly, it really didn’t give one the thrill ride of something new and exciting that i got on the first read. Once you know the story, and how things turn out, it does diminish it somewhat.
Don’t get me wrong, it was still a good read, but nothing like it was the first time around.
I won’t be re-reading the other two books in the trilogy at this time as i didn’t enjoy them as much the first time around, so i don’t think they’ll have aged as well for a re-read at this time. Maybe in 20 years or so i’ll give the whole trilogy another run through, but i do think i need to well and truly forget most of it first to enjoy it fully on a re-read.
