I question sometimes why people are so bent on chronological order. If the central conflict of the entire series is started by Publication Order #1, do I really want to read Prequel Series Set 1000 Years Before The Main Conflict (Chronological Order #1)? Or am I more likely to get scared off the main series before I ever even get to Publication Order #1 because Chronological Order #1 was of middling, inferior quality?
It really depends for me on what value the order brings. What would be gained by watching
Memento in chronological order?
