Review # 1 was written on 2019-07-18 00:00:00 Jenni Ferro Quick and easy read. This Omnibus was ok; each short story was interesting in its own way. My favourite story was 'The Lady' written by Kate Walker. It was an enjoyable read and I thoroughly enjoyed the ending. Walker's story was well written and captured my imagination. I also really enjoyed Jean Chapman's 'The Secret of the Ghastly Bag.' The story was a really clever concept and the ending perfectly concluded the story. This would be a great little book to read to your children at night; this is definitely a great bedtime stories book. |
Review # 2 was written on 2010-12-19 00:00:00 Brent Matsen I wish I learned Standard ML later. I also wish there was a newer edition of this book. It's not a bad book to learn Standard ML from. You could understand most of it without having to run smlnj, and for the most part, it was a pleasant read. However: * It's an old book and it's typeset pretty horribly. I guess it's OK for 1997, but it's annoying to read it it 22 years later. * It tries a bit too hard to bridge in C/C++ developers, instead of just jumping in the functional waters head first. * Occasionally there are some really lengthy explanations for some really obvious code that just get in the way. * It ends up with a definition of the syntax of ML that's just a bit awkward to read. You may infer the language from it if you think hardly enough, but examples would have been better. Apart from all that, it's a pretty decent book. One thing that I particularly enjoyed was the exercises - occasionally there was something cool to learn in them, like 2-3 trees. |
