pretty underrated. the geometric approach to abstract algebra turns out to be nice even though i didnt get the point at first. it is good to tie modern abstract algebra to geometry. there are a few unique facets towards the end of the book that make it a unique perspective compared to the plethora of other solid treatments of introductory abstract algebra
