I'll say, it's a good idea to read the first 25 pages or so, like 7 times.
That way you will familiarize yourself with how the book is written. Then, you won't have as much trouble later on. At least, it seems like for me, that is how I learn.
It seems like for some books I have to re read sections of it, because they're hard to understand. But I think, I'm just do that at the beginning of it, and then see how the rest goes.

I did that a lot when I was a kid. I still do it occasionally if it is a short book. I used to do that often with Shakespeare scripts. I have been in 14 different WS productions and I had a very specific way of memorizing lines.
As I remember, I did not do that with War and Peace. It took me all of January Y2K to read that book at 50 pages a day. Still my favorite novel.

I actually tried, what I mentioned above recently with one book.
But, I only re read the first 25 pages twice. Which means I read them a total of only 3 times. Now, it seems like I can follow the rest of the book easier.
Still just one part though, I don't get.

Cliffnotes, i tried. But not for this one book I mentioned above.
I actually didn't read the introduction in the book either. That is, the part in this book before the book starts. Maybe that would help also. I guess I'll try it.
But the thing is, I assume that the introduction for the book... wasn't in the book when it first came out. When the book came out like 90 years ago.
So , if people back then understood the book without it. Then I should be able to do the same thing.
