Review: Horribly Written Textbook - This book is your usual horribly written textbook. I'm sorry if you're taking an astrophysics class, and you're required to read it. The 1st chapter was easy enough to understand, but from the 2nd chapter onward it's almost incomprehensible. Very few pictures, diagrams or examples to explain the ideas, instead you get walls of text and sudden mathematical derivations. Very often I find myself saying,"woah hold up there, why are we doing two pages of math again?"
Review: good undergrad text - This book is written explicitly for undergraduates, but is certainly a good reference for the graduate student getting started in astronomy/astrophysics with no previous experience. The chapters flow together very well and the information is presented in a clear and concise manner. The problems in each chapter connect points from previous chapters to the new material the current chapter. Solutions to the problems are located in the appendix; while this may be good when you get stuck, I can imagine some students utilizing it too regularly and not learning the material.

I find that the material doesn't have a lot of context, so I found it hard to actually understand the physical meaning behind the processes that are described. Confusing diagrams too...
