I got burnt hard af by Larry McMurtry in his introduction to Lonesome Dove, so now I avoid the intros like the plague until I've finished the book.

I don't understand why authors would assume that people have read the book before. Think reading it once the book is finished is the way forward now.

Agreed. And in the case I'm referencing, McMurtry reveals a spoiler about the book itself and an even bigger spoiler about the sequel.
