- It might be ok if you're a student, but...
of little use if you're a professional, like me, who wants to really get down to using the language. There are several problems with the book:

1. It mixes up mathematical notation with code. If I'm reading code then I want to see code. It's irritating and occassionally confusing. I haven't seen any other books do this, and there's a good reason for it.
2. There is not a single example of anything useful! Not how to open a file, or write to a file, for instance.

- Excellent Introduction to Haskell
The material is very well written, concise and easy to understand. I'd recommend this text to anyone starting out with Haskell. The only issue being that this book is really only an introduction. It leaves the reader with a great idea about the basic concepts of Haskell, but it doesn't elaborate on real world Haskell; programming with effects, concurrency, networking etc.
