Summary: A pleasant surprise
Comment: Many books on algebra lose sight of the basic underlying ideas when the author gets caught up in the formalism. Formalism is good but, as Bourbaki has demonstrated, it isn't always the best thing for teaching newcomers.
This little book is a gem. I bought it on a whim - curious that such a format would be applied to such a subject. I was pleasantly surprised. It pares the subject down to the minimal essentials without losing anything of central importance in the process. There are books that cost 10 times - even 20 times as much that don't do half as good a job.
IF you take the trouble to actually read the book, listen to what the authors are saying, do their exercises and THINK about what you are doing, you can learn an awful lot very quickly. The authors know how to blend formalism with intuition - a mark of the true teacher.

Summary: This book is ok.
Comment: I would not advise buying this book.Most students buy this book only because their lecturers say it's a good book; afterwards they discover that the book isn't as good as was first claimed to be.The first ten chapters are well-written, but the following chapters are difficult to understand. All the students studying Abstract Algebra have admitted that they had difficulties with this book. Get a copy from the library and see what you think.
