... I don't know what it is
about [Herstein's] approach, but it just doesn't click for me.
I too had that book as an undergrad, and also found it to lack in the
motivation/explanation department. That seems to be typical of math
texts. The assumption is that you want to become a mathematician so much
that you'll put in a lot of hard work on topics that you must trust have
been properly chosen for you.
Shades of Dylan Thomas:
And pictureless books in which small boys, though warned with
quotations not to, would skate on Farmer Giles' pond and did and
drowned; and books that told me everything about the wasp, except why.
