Title: I join the rest of the reviewers - magnificent
Review: I have taken a look at the other reviews and all of them agree that this is an amazingly well written book. Only a couple of proofs are missing, so the whole book is mostly self-contained. There is almost no balance between understandability and academic rigor, and the book makes as good a read as a novel. The pre-requisites, given the advanced topic (at least for non mathematicians like me) are minimal. I plan on reading even the parts I don't immediately need for my work.If you want to read functional analysis as fast as you can read a mainstream piece of literature, get this book, it's worth every penny.
Is the review positive or negative?
