SICP is not just a book. They are lectures you can freely watch on the Internet.
For me is one of the most interesting lectures I ever watched. Requires effort because it makes you think, and this is one of the great things about it.
Not for beginners? Yeah, like structural engineering, physics, biology,chemistry, writing, or anything worth something in life you need to work on it, have interest and abilities doing that if you want to become a professional.
Some people want to make University so easy that the title becomes worthless, like happened with University titles inflation in the UK.
