I worked through the book while I was in school as a way to prepare myself for a C-programming heavy course (OS) that I was scheduled to take later in the semester. I liked the book - its quite intense but you do end up learning quite a bit. I also picked up interesting tidbits on Lisp so that's quite welcoming.

One thing that you might be interested in knowing about is that this book uses a few libraries which means you don't end up writing everything from scratch. For example, in the chapter on parsing, the grammar is implemented using a library called MPC (https://github.com/orangeduck/mpc) written by the author himself.

I didn't quite reach till the very end so didn't have a chance to implement Macros (the author does mention them in Chapter 16), so if that's something you can very keen on implementing then you might have to look someplace else.
