5.0 out of 5 stars
Are you looking for literary criticism? It's a freaking math book!
The first book in this two volume introduction to algebraic geometry was used as the primary textbook for my algebraic geometry class. It was amazing. Easily the most readable (oh, Hartshorne why are you so heartless?) of all the algebraic algebraic geometry I own (which is quite a few). I finally managed to secure the second volume after several fruitless searches and...

Shafarevich explains mathematics well, but I find the index for this book extremely frustrating (I bought my copy in the 2005 Springer sale). I'm almost convinced that they forgot to modify the index after making modifications to the first edition.

This review is from: Basic Algebraic Geometry 2: Schemes and Complex Manifolds (Paperback)
The first book in this two volume introduction to algebraic geometry was used as the primary textbook for my algebraic geometry class. It was amazing. Easily the most readable (oh, Hartshorne why are you so heartless?) of all the algebraic algebraic geometry I own (which is quite a few). I finally managed to secure the second volume after several fruitless searches and order cancellations (Amazon didn't have it in stock for months). Though I'm only starting to get into this one and am basing this recommendation mostly on my experience with the first volume, I still think that Shafarevich writes the most accessible introduction to schemes that I've ever read.
