This was the most approachable and useful Haskell book I've gotten through so far. The author's writing style is nice an very understandable. Everything was understandable (as much as it could be, I think) to me. He was well balanced in the critiques of Haskell as well as pointing out the really nice and interesting bits.
I don't think he covered much, if anything, about how indentation matters, conventions used, etc. It would have been great to have a chapter (or a small section) on some sort of linter/formatter that would help a new user end up with more idiomatic *looking* Haskell code, if nothing else.
I'm *not* a Haskell expert after this book, but it has given me enough that I feel ready to write some more Haskell. It was nice that at the end he gives some suggestions of what to look at next if "Haskell isn't for you".
