Disclaimer: I'm the author of the book and thus pretty biased. As a matter of fact, I wrote this book specifically for people like you and me: no CS degree, highly interested in interpreters and compilers, but intimidated by the existing literature. (If you studied compilers in college, this book will probably teach you nothing new.) There's a sample on the landingpage that should give you an impression of the difficulty - my guess is, that if you already know how to program and know the basics of Go, you'll get along just fine.
