Artin's Book would provide a great reference text for a refresh but it covers a lot of areas, and you sometimes lack the motivation to study the area without seeing it from a book devoted to it or from seeing it occur naturally. I have not used the book for a couple of years but looking back I would recommend combining it with a book on linear algebra and a book on elementary/ algebraic number theory.
If you are comparing it to Pinter or burns - Artin is a lot harder.
