I've just finished going through Brian Hall's Book. I'm just learning these things for the first time, so maybe I just don't have a lot to compare it to, but I thought it was fantastic.

I will say, it's fairly easy. I often times found myself wondering why he was bothering to spell out things in an explicit proof when it was obvious, but as a book I was learning from without lectures, this was actually a good feature. He goes quite slowly so there's time for a self-learning to digest things. I do realize some people find this to be a problem though.

Also he only treats matrix groups, which can be a little bit limiting.
