### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best book for beginning functional programmers
*by D***S on July 22, 2015*

Best book for beginning functional programmers. Excellent explanations. The code is a little out of date, but not a problem for experienced developers. Examples are fun and engaging.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Informative with interesting examples
*by A***F on April 10, 2013*

Informative with interesting examples. The guy who wrote chaired the committee that developed the language. I enjoy how he brings his insight into the language into the examples in the book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Captures the spirit of Haskell
*by P***G on June 11, 2010*

I found this the most Haskell'ish of the Haskell books I have read; succinct, concise, compact, in fact, very much in the spirit of Haskell itself. The author's writing style is clear and distilled with very little redundancy. For these reasons I keep this small volume in a special place on my large shelf of programming language books. In agreement with other reviewers, this is not an optimal first Haskell book. The approach that worked best for me when ramping-up with Haskell was to use this text in combination with online tutorials and the O'Reilly "Real World Haskell" volume. This provided a good balance of essence, philosophy, coverage and practicality. This book might have been a good contender for the title of "The Joy of Haskell". I enjoyed it and will keep referring back in moments when I want to recapture core functional programming concepts that apply not only to Haskell but to the functional programming genre as a whole.
