So far this tome has not only been remarkably informative about a language I was previously unfamiliar with but it has also been incredibly easy to read page by page. Generally large reference books seem quite dry and are best used as references but I've found the tutorial style with which this book approaches teaching the language to be easy to parse even in short chunks on the subway. Highly recommended if you know very little about Scala and are interested in learning the language.
