This book is actually quite funny in places. I never expected to smile and laugh while reading a functional analysis book. Nicely done.

Kolmogorov gets a big wet smooch from me 😫🥵💏😫💃🕺🤸🥵

Good introductory text; gives excellent examples of the abstract concepts introduced. The proofs are nice, and the motivation is adequate, but most exercises are too easy.
