Yes. It’s what I’d recommend to someone who’s never studied number theory before. There’s a solutions manual which is also quite helpful and makes the book more useful. Also love the biographies interspersed in the textbook.
Had I had that exposure, I’d have gone straight to Abstract Algebra and then full in some of the less intuitive aspects of Number theory like primitive roots and quadratic residues
