Where have ya been all my life...what a great intro book. This is a great place to start your studies of GR.

this book is ok but schutz's book is better. it does a pretty bad job of introducing tensors, i think. some of the exercises are good but there are too many that are very routine. i only read the first 150 or 200 pages though, so i guess keep that in mind.

A bit outdated on the final chapters about Cosmology, but other than that found it a great introduction to tensorial calculus and general relativity. It does tend to give up on the exercises a bit toward the later chapters and just makes you do all the calculations that were skipped in the text.

It is a pretty good book. I disliked a bit th.e notation, but as a first approach, is perfect

My version of book was better than online pdf version available which have a problems in printing

This was the main book (theoretically) for my GR class but it is good for my for introducing k-calculus which I found it very intuitive way for constructing special relativity theory

But this was from books which leaves most work in derivations for you and this is the most thing i hate for a textbook.

Also hobson book is more useful and the problems is clearer there

Solid textbook, just caused me lots of stress

It's a nice book which covers most of the important subjects in GR & Cosmology, the only problem is that lots of the equations are left to the reader to derive them in exercises.

General relativity — for when you get serious
