Comparing Tipler, Serway & Jewett, and Young & Freedman for first-year physics

[dragadoz]

Hi, I'm about to embark on my first year physics and would like to ask if there are any significant differences between the following two books:

1. Physics for Scientists and Engineers by Paul A Tipler
2. Physics for Scientists and Engineers by Serway and Jewett
3. University Physics by Young and Freedman.

Apparently, 1. is really terrible. How does 3. compare with 2.?

Thanks in advance for your help!

They are both well-respected introductory texts.
