Review
"Although this book is not specifically written as a textbook but rather as a work for the general reader, it could certainly be used as a textbook for an undergraduate course in number theory and, in the reviewer's opinion, is far superior for this purpose to any other book in English." Bulletin of American Mathematical Society ."..an elegant introduction that contains several exciting topics." W. Roy Utz, Science Books and Films ."..one of the best books around on number theory." The American Mathematical Monthly
