Learning Functional Data Structures and Algorithms

This is by far the best Packt publishing book I've ever read. This is comparable to the quality of a Manning Press book. I highly recommend this book and it's especially useful if you are preparing for technical interviews.

This is not a perfect book, but it's really good for being a Packt book. It's a nicer read than all other functional programming books I have. I've never written this about a book before - but reading this one actually makes me happy. It's simply a fun read! Not full of jokes, but fun in the way that every page makes me really curious about what's in the next page. And every chapter makes me curious about what's in the next chapter. I usually only review bad books, to warn others, but I think this one deserves a good review because it stands out so strongly among the competition when it comes to Packt books. Another reviewer said that it's more like a Manning book, but I disagree. I like this one more than I like the Manning books I've read. There are a few errors in the book (not many) and at some points the explanations could be better / clearer. But if you stop and think a bit you will probably manage fine without a perfect explanation. Everything is in there to be able to figure the missing parts out yourself (contrary to the Functional Programming in Scala book from Manning, to take an example of a book with way too many missing explanations).
