This book was also a bit more challenging to get into than Willis' others, it jumped around a bit between different characters in different times and took me a while to put everything together, but quite good once it got going.
I disagree. I think you do miss a lot by reading Blackout first.

Oxford Time Travel series reading order
1. Fire Watch
2. Doomsday Book
3. To Say Nothing of the Dog
4. Blackout
5. All Clear
