informative medium-paced

I did not implement the data structures presented in the book, maybe doing that would have given 100% essence of it. But some good concepts presented here, you will think of it when you read another data structure next time.

Content is in Standard ML, but not difficult to translate to Haskell. The algorithms presented earlier in the book are quite clear when taken from a functional perspective, none of the pointer manipulation noise that I recall when learning about Data Structures and Algorithms courses at University.
