September 03, 2002: I find that this book needs many more explicit examples for each section and subsection, as well as better and more descriptive solutions to the exercises. As a self study guide, one will get lost and desperate easily. Text is good to read, but again more explanations is needed. A better preference would be Dummit Foote Abstract Algebra, which feels very complete and detailed but may have too many topics that one wants to give up on the subject. I bought both books to study abstract algebra and group theory on my own in my spare time.
