After reading this, could anyone recommend a good intro to crypto book? I see a lot of good reviews of Bruce Schneier's Applied Cryptography.

Apparently the same reviewer says it's worse[0], unless he's talking about a different book. This surprises me based on Schneier's popularity, but having not read the book and not being an expert on crypto, I wouldn't know.
