"Comprehensive and definitive as it may be, it's also borderline unreadable to the uninitiated and greatly in need of more explicit and concrete examples. Should be no-one's first introduction to algebraic geometry."
"My PhD advisor inherited a pedagogical approach to Algebraic Geometry from his own advisor: to prepare them for research, have your advisees work through the entirety of this text, including all of the problems. It's an arduous, strenuous process -- the text is dense, and many of the problems are actually important theorems in AG (woe unto the reader who skips them!). Even though most of the material in this book is 30 years old, it's a relatively small step to go from completing Hartshorne to catching up with some cutting-edge research in the field (and thence to making novel contributions)."
"I had great trouble with chapter two of this book. Some of my confusion has been mitigated after finding Eisenbud's book The Geometry of Schemes, but I am still trying to familiarize myself with the subject. Seriously though, prepare yourself for hours of banging your head on desks and flipping through pages to find definitions. I find it for some odd reason very hard to retain memory of what I read in this book making it necessary to read pages several times."
"This book is dense, which is good because it has lots of information in it. That said, it is probably not the best book to learn algebraic geometry from. Personally, I found it pretty difficult to learn algebraic geometry from this book.
However, I get the impression that if you already know algebraic geometry, this is an indispensable resource.
UPDATE: I also used this book to learn about Sheaf Cohomology. I actually found it quite helpful to learn about these subjects."
