Recommend any good Condensed Matter Physics books please?

[Brynjolf]

Hi all. Can anyone please recommend me a good undergraduate level Condensed Matter Physics book that has a number of examples and concise explanations rather than walls of texts? It should cover typical topics such as scattering, magnetism etc. I apologize if this may strike a nerve with Condensed Matter purists: I have tried to go over books by Kittel, Ashcroft/Mermin, Dove, etc but I simply couldn't really get into them and struggled unfortunately.

Only in German: Hellwege, Einfuehrung in die Festkoerperphysik
contains many examples especially on magnetism.
