It has been a while since I read Griffiths. If I recall I liked his style for E&M, but the quantum mechanics book was far too discursive, full of unnecessary jokes and cutesy phrases that muddled the discussion instead of aiding understanding. I remember being frequently confused about when Griffiths was making a physical argument versus a mathematical argument when deriving results.

My professor didn’t use Griffiths for the exercises, so I actually sold my copy back to the bookstore and bought a used copy of Shankar’s book: it is certainly drier, but I think it’s much more clear and precise.
