If you liked that, then you'll love Visual Group Theory[1]. The first two chapters are online, and I believe free and legal to download [2].

A wonderful book that doesn't suffer the discussed flaw is Visual Group Theory by Nathan Carter, discussed on HN earlier. It provides ample motivation and examples before diving into the theorems.
