Title: Great book but you better be ready for a challenge
Product review: I bought this book because I briefly scanned through it in a library. Wheeler and Thorne have both written terrific books on general relativity so bought the book because I have had a retirement project of learning general relativity and quantum mechanics at a level considerably above the usual popularization; but Gravitation went a bit too far for me. I had to drop back and pick up some more introductory texts in order to go to chapter 2. I still intend to work through the book and it is one of the standard graduate school texts so I rate it highly -- with the qualification that you need to be pretty motivated or have a good Physics background to use it.
