Yes, and well they should!  Unfortunately, it's not a good book for an
autodidact unless you've a pretty good mathematical background or some
kind of natural skill with math concepts.  <Scheme and the Art of
Programming> is better but still a tough row to hoe.  I have a goodly
collection of Scheme books.  Books are no substitute for grey matter,
I'm afraid.  At least <The Little Schemer> was fun!

I'm going to spend the next few months getting OOP down as best I can,
so I can get a decent handle on python.  Hey -- no recursion!!  Yeah!
