Introduces the concept of the monad in very informal terms which was not what I was looking for. I would have preferred a more formal treatment for half the material but with material linking theory to practice in Haskell which is something this book did not do.

Monads in action

Lots of monads being used in small examples. Really useful to demystify what monads are about. I'd recommend this to anyone who has a little bit of Haskell experience.
