As someone said, it gets much easier after you leave Valinor and get into the tales of the Elves and Men. I also found that it greatly helpful to make notes about bloodlines and names. Even with the Indeces, it's easier to have the information right there in front of you rather than have to keep flipping through the back of the book.
I didn't think Feanor was either wierd or crazy; he was just terribly driven and very smart and rather impulsive.
