I used this textbook for an introduction to Channel Coding class I took (graduate level). I think that the material is difficult, but this book is remarkably clear, considering that. I had no experience with Galois Fields or any of that kind of math before starting with this book, but I was able to grasp it. I think the main thing missing in this book are good summaries for each chapter, giving highlights of the important stuff. Sometimes it's hard to get an overall picture of the material, I got bogged down in math sometimes. Visually, the book is beautiful, good fonts, charts, etc...

The book is well organized and mathematically rigorous. It depicts a full picture of conventional algebraic coding theory in a systematic fashion. As a specialist in coding theory, I give my highest rank.

I am taking an error correcting code class as a graduate EE student where this text is assigned. The book is a reference manual for people who already know the material. It is not for those who are new to algebraic codes or galois field arithmetic.
The book is introduced as an introductory book, but it is nothing of the sort.

This book is not for beginners.All about is math.Impossible to understand.I try to give ZERO star.
