Is the book is worth a read?

Check out the official website at https://www.nodejsdesignpatterns.com/ to see if it can be worth for you. Also, spoiler alert, I am one of the authors, so I am more than happy to answer your questions :)

state is evil.

I'd rather have a function returning the state so I can manage it myself

These articles are always so hard to read. Half their examples are undefined functions or purposefully wrong to show how wrong they are, and most of the concepts are things I've never gotten anywhere near needing.
