Summary: Basic introduction
Comment: This book is subtitled, "A First Undergraduate Course", and that's exactly what it is. Don't expect in-depth technical treatment, but it's a decnt introduction to abstract algebra, covering basic properties of the integers, groups, sets & mappings, rings & fields, polynomials, Euclidean constructions, and some additional material on the integers and coding (from the table of contents). We used it in my undergrad course, and it was one of the simpler courses I've seen. All in all, not a bad way to go if you're just looking to dip your toes in abstract algebra. Look elsewhere for a deeper consideration.

Summary: Boring, Unchallenging Textbook
Comment: Well, surely this book is for young learners. However, the explanations are such a boring text, in the sense that they not provide detailed logical explanations which should be the basis of them. Moreover, the logical thinking is out of date. Do not expect to find new things here.
