The first sections were interesting studies in the editor; why and how certain sayings were selected and grouped.
I really loved the third section, which pieced together the four gospels chronologically. It was a brilliant reminder that the gospels are accounts from different witnesses. I enjoyed reading the same event from two or more gospels in rapid succession, as it highlighted the lack of collusion between witnesses; though extremely similar, the accounts were not identical, and lent further credibility to the gospels.
