review 1: I have to admit that the title is more clever than I like. I've learned in the past few years that "clever" things are the ones I wind up regretting, while "elegant" ones stand the test of time. That said, it's pretty much what the title implies: an exploration of how you can do this thing (program in Clojure, in this case) in ways that will maximize your enjoyment of it. It's not aimed at the novice programmer, but at someone who's already familiar with Java programming and its underlying concepts, as well as with the basics of functional programming.
review 2: This book is lovely. As a second book about Clojure it propels you from basic understanding through to deep understanding. It doesn't exhaustively cover the library for Clojure but it covers the thought... more process behind the language and definitely exhorts a better style of development. The information flow doesn't let up for all the chapters and as such you feel like you've learned an immense amount aas you move through the book. Having said that the conclusion is pretty much, we've stopped writing here's a closing paragraph. Which is odd considering the rest of the book. less
