Hilarious book. I wish more programming books had this type of humor
The book has toons of information about Clojure, but I found it hard to keep reading for there were far too many jokes. I was expecting a book that would actually teach me how to use Clojure in a professional, day-to-day way, but there were too many "funny" examples such as "changing immutable gnome socks states". This is a nice beginner book though.
