Reviews for Land of Lisp: Learn to Program Lisp, One Game at a Time!
For such a cute cover its quite difficult
I'm only half way into the book and I must say it's not an easy read. The first chapters start pretty slow and are explained in the detail, but some other more difficult concepts don't get as much attention.
Like most similar books, each chapter builds on the previous so skimming through is not recommended despite coding different games.
To be fair lisp is not an easy language to begin, but I just get the feeling this book is meant to build upon an existing lisp skillset. by Daniel Mircea
