I used this as a textbook for an Abstract algebra course I took recently. It was surprisingly readable, and more importantly, there are plenty of examples that illustrate the definitions and theorems they've given.Just a single complaint: There are times when important definitions are introduced in sections that are marked as examples, so it's not really safe to skip over the examples. This can be a little frustrating until you catch on, but it's not a big problem.
