Reviews
'Although this book is not 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.' From a review of the first edition in Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society
'... the well-known and charming introduction to number theory ... can be recommended both for independent study and as a reference text for a general mathematical audience.' European Maths Society Journal
'Its popularity is based on a very readable style of exposition.' EMS Newsletter
