I've seen quite a few people on this forum agree that Griffiths is not a good book to learn QM from.
But I was wondering what reasons people would give for it.
(Personally I don't feel I can give an in depth critique since I've only sampled his book. I rather liked his explanation of perturbation theory, however he lost my interest when he made a--in my opinion--fatal error in the first chapter when he stated that (all) realistic interpretations have been proven wrong. However, I don't think many people would care about such matters, so I'm wondering what other peeves people have about the book.)
