This is perhaps the cleanest and easiest introduction to Topology. The style of the book is perfect. The "essential definitions and theorems" section of each chapter explains all the foundational concepts using a multitude of examples that were easy to understand. The "solved problems" were a mix of proofs of theorems in the previous section and other proof based exercises. These problems were excellent (established the connections within and between chapters easily) and the worked solutions were easy to read. The supplementary problems were a good review of the material. In general, the book builds the intuition of the reader from the ground up. All in all, this is an excellent book to read for anyone with the prerequisite knowledge of Real Analysis and some Set Theory. Topology is hard and the material is dense, but this book makes it as easy as possible.
