Comprehensive

I'm working through it now...and it's very good. Very clear explanations that doesn't assume too much from you. I'm a physicist who is now working and I want to understand more about GR. This book covers all of the major aspects of GR and I guess would serve as a good introduction and a springboard for more advanced treatments. I have bought a couple of books that are a little too advanced or not advanced enough.This is the one for me...I demand clarity of explantion when I buy science textbooks. This ticks the box for me

Both very comprehensive and sophisticated

I enjoyed very much reading this book and learned a lot from it. This is a very comprehensive (but still high leveled) introduction to the foundations and applications of Gerneral Relativity. It is written by one of the best experts in this field and can be used by students from the undergraduate level up (and also even by researchers). It is one of the rare books where physical and mathematical aspects are thoroughly presented in an understandable and easy to follow way.

Gravity

The best book I have read on general theory of relativity. The author eases into cumbersome notation, by first considering simpler metrics. Black holes, pulsars and gravitational waves are included.

Good book

It is a nice overview of the fundamentals of general relativity. Hartle is a clear writer. Worth buying it. Good value for money

Difficult for beginner

Not good for self study. Assumes you already very familiar with special relativity. The equations are stated , not derived. Hard to follow .I assumed this would be an introduction so would work out the math on how the equations are derived.

not for the mathematician

I tried this book after reading Callahan's rigorous mathematical treatment, to get a different perspective. And it seems to me that this book doesn't really explain much at all.
