I really enjoyed the book. I recommend it. Even for people who use Lisp on a daily basis, it has a lot of good information.

The way it is presented is also very fun. This is one of the most fun to read books I own right now.

LoL is an excellent book. I read these books when I wanted to dive into Lisp: Land of Lisp, Practical Clojure and Joy Of Clojure. I recommend each one highly.

Is Lisp really as good as the cartoon suggests? I have never used Lisp myself, is it worth trying out?

Yes. It is.

Righty-ho

If you are an experienced programmer, probably this book is not for you. You should start reading a more "formal" book like "On Lisp" by Paul Graham.

If you are a novice coder the book will show you how to code some neat apps in Lisp, Common Lisp to be more precise.
