Title: A review from a graduate student
Review: If you are a graduate student in mathematics or related fields and you are interested in learning algebraic geometry in the Griffiths-Harris way, then I suggest before buying this book to have a good background in the following:1. Complex Analysis2. Differential Geometry and calculus on manifolds3. Homology-Cohomology Theory4. Undergraduate Algebraic GeometryDo not expect chapter 0, "Foundational Material", to be the place where you are supposed to build your "foundation". You can try the books of Michael Spivak, David A. Cox, Fangyang Zheng, among other books for foundational material but not chapter 0.However, if you have most of the above-mentioned foundational material, then this book is good in presenting complex manifolds for example in chapter 0 section 2 and also in presenting (complex) holomorphic vector bundles, as well as many other things.So, in summary, I would say a good book but not for students trying to learn the basics in algebraic geometry.
