I have yet to work myself up to finishing this incredibly deep book. I get the impression that Stott was incredibly well read and had spent a staggering amount of time thinking about and discussing the cross.

The beginning of the book probably would have thrown me off, with discussions about the cross as a symbol in what seems like a very Roman Catholic church, except it was recommended by my Pastor; it turns out the book turns quite quickly from Roman church cross symbolism to the scriptures and what they tell us about the cross.

I only read a small portion of this book at a time because of the density of information; once I've read it completely through it will warrant continual reading.

Very worthwhile purchase; I have zero regrets buying this book and it is one book, along with my Bible, that I'll hold on to; most books (even my precious programming books) get 'redistributed' once I'm done with them.

I read this book to learn about risk, mostly, and I did learn a little about risk; however, most of what I learned was about energy generation and the relationships between natural gas, natural gas transportation, weather, electricity generation and electricity usage patterns. The book is well written and easy to understand. I would not be confident investing in energy after only having read this book, but if I was already an investor this book would give me some great insights into natural gas, electricity and their relationship together.

This book is an excellent introduction to Clojure; Halloway has a writing style that is interesting, light, easy and personable. Some books come across like they were written by a committee whereas Halloway's book comes across like it was written by one of your friends. (One of your _intelligent_ friends!)

The examples are great and every new feature that made it into an example was explained immediately, especially if it wasn't something that pertained to the topic. This book isn't a reference, and doesn't read like one; however, I've got it marked up and bookmarked to go back to check out examples and sections.

Halloway is right in there when it comes to Clojure development and he knows of what he writes.

Well done.
