Recommended Physical Chemistry Text

[ChaoticLlama]

Hello, I'm taking Physical Chemistry I in second year, and my prof does not have a required book for the course and everything will be based off his notes (which are very good by the way)

However, I would like a deeper understanding of the material, and the prof did recommend two books. What, if anything, do you know about their quality?

here is the course description:

Thanks

Levine's book is the bible. You wouldn't error if you chose it.

McQuarrie's new textbook on Physical Chemistry is a great text. And if you take stat. mech. later with McQuarrie's legendary Statistical Mechanics textbook, you will have quite the advantage.

I just finished a course with it, I wouldn't call it the bible. Its way to verbose and muddled - and the questions are very basic. Had it not been for my profs interesting problem sets and lecture notes, Levine would have left me with a shallow knowledge.

Unfortunately, I don't know anything better.
