Firstly, I'm not a mathematician and I only have this book out of my own curiousity so bare that in mind when you read my review. This was a suprisingly coherent introduction to abstract algebra. The majority of which is translating our "loosley" used words for more stringent "mathematically rigorous terminology" and in that reagard I found the text excellent.

A book that teaches "math" while teaching algebra. Excellent presentation; excellent rapport with reader.
