I own a copy and can't help but disagree. It goes over a few things like list comprehensions, types, etc, but I couldn't even stumble through writing a basic Haskell program when finished.I'm looking forward to Manning's Grokking Functional Programming if it ever comes out. The Haskell Book is also popular these days.

Really? It gave me a great grasp of the language and syntax and I was able to write some basic things immediately after, and anything I didn't know how to do (like communicate over a socket, etc.) I could google search.
