Summary: Introduction to Hell
Comment: This book is terrible. It is pedantic in parts handwaving in others. I reccomend you drop the class you are buying it for.
Rating: 2
Summary: This is THE classic text in Solid State!
Comment: I've taken solid state as an undergrad physics student, a grad at CSUF, a grad at University of Denver, and again as a grad at University of Washington. I have figured out why I just don't seem to grasp Solid State; I've always used this book! ;-) (Different editions) My prof agrees, there are better books out there.
IMHO, the presentation is choppy and not coherant. Concepts are just thrown out and the student is left wondering, "What was THAT all about?!" It makes a GREAT reference if you already know solid state. I think thatis why it is used so often.

Summary: Not an Intro book
Comment: This book is an awful introduction to solid state physics. I would recommend Ashcroft and Mermin's version. Kittel dives right into equations without deriving them at all and assumes prior knowledge of quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and E&M. I am a senior engineering college student at the school Kittel taught (UC Berkeley) and we are forced to use his book because it's a "classic" in the field but it is just a terrible book to try to learn from.
