Title: Bad book!
Review: This book is bad! To make it clear, the author seems to be an expert in the field, so the results are stated correctly, but not in a correct way. Definition followed by theorems, then by proofs, then by exercises. No explaination, no motivation, no flow, no organism, makes a beautiful subject so painful to proceed.On the positive side, the book has good scope and depth for an introductory text, along with a descent set of exercises. That makes some value as a reference book. But if you want to learn algebraic number theory, stay away from this book.
