Title: An average book by a good mathematician
Review: This is one of the worst undergraduate algebra texts I've ever seen. Although everything Jacobson says in his book is true, his writing style makes the material seem more difficult than it really is. Many results in the book are not numbered or highlighted from the rest of the book, and this makes it virtually impossible to retrieve information when needed. In order to find the result you want you probably need to read the entire section to find it. This book is a counter example to the following conjecture: If a person is a good mathematician, then he writes good mathematics textbooks.
