Summary: missing thread
Comment: I have lived with this book on my shelf for five years, and during that time have gone back to it a number of times, though I have never read it all the way through for reasons the other reviews will surely explain. I have gone back to it because it is wide ranging and the languages it picks are interesting.
Reading it is like having a row of pearls in front of you. Each is clear and self contained, and they are arranged like a necklace would be. The thread between the sentences is missing however, and you have to work hard to supply it yourself.
Some of the examples (e.g. the quilt example in the functional programming section) elucidate the nature of the programming style and this is good. When moving into the specifics of a language however, the pearl trick happens and I don't get what I am looking for. When reading a book like this I want to garner the spirit of a language. If I want syntax I download a language reference.

Summary: Dreadful, horrible, repetitive, terrible...
Comment: are the words that describe this book. I am studying for a test right now and I can't bear to read even one more page. I'm not just saying this because its a school book and school is boring...this book is really excruciatingly repetitive and horribly worded. I gotta read alot of the stuff multiple times just to understand what this [guy] is trying to say. He could have simplified the book so it's half the length that it is. Ravi Sethi, the author, sounds like a [conceited person] who thinks he's so smart...He should be fined for writing this book and making poor college students like me read it. This book is causing me much mental anguish.

Summary: I, Dave Nellans, love this book with all my heart.
Comment: I showed up everyday to class and sat in the front row captivated by this wonderful book's contents. If I could take a class every semester that uses this book I would be in heaven. Thank you, Ravi Sethi, with all of my heart, I love you.
-Dave Nellans.
