I like the tone, and enjoyed reading it enough that it was my bedside book for a while. It reminds me of the best of the programming books I read in the 80s, the ones aimed at the semi-professional and hobbyist rather than the rank beginner or the seasoned academic academic. It's written on the assumption that you already know how to program, and that you want to do useful work in Lisp, so the drudgery of explaining trivial aspects of programming or first principles of list handling with tail recursion structures of Scheme are elided.
