This is the first computer book since the K&R C book that I've read cover to cover. Why? Because it's edutainment. It filled in a lot of holes in my Javascript knowledge and it didn't feel painful like the typical language book that punishes me with fifty pages of syntax before I get to write one line of code. From the beginning, there's programs that actually work and are easy to modify if you want to experiment. It's very nonlinear and that kept me reading.
