Which book is better in terms of Depth?

In summary, Sakurai's Modern Quantum Mechanics book is more advanced than Leonard Susskind's and covers more material. However, it cannot be directly compared to other books as it is at a different level. The two lecture notes being studied cover similar content to Sakurai's book.

I think you cannot compare these to books. Suskind is at a very basic level and great to start. Of course, you must sublement it by something more advanced like Sakurai.

Now I'm studying - http://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teaching/qmech/qmech.pdf and then I will study - http://www.pa.ucla.edu/sites/default/files/files/dhoker%20lecture%20notes/quantum_mechanics.pdf , Both of these lecture notes(combined) cover the same content as it is covered in Sakurai"s Modern quantum Mechanics book ?

It's of course hard to judge two manuscripts on just glancing over them. On that first glance both look very good. The 2nd one seems to cover the material in a quite similar way as Sakurai.
 

1. Which book has more complex characters?

The answer to this question is subjective and depends on the individual reader's interpretation of the characters. One book may have more depth in its character development, but it may not resonate with every reader. It is important to read both books and form your own opinion on the complexity of the characters.

2. Which book has a deeper plot?

The depth of a book's plot can also be subjective and varies from reader to reader. Some may prefer a more intricate plot with multiple layers and twists, while others may prefer a simpler, more straightforward plot. It is best to read both books and determine which one resonates more with you in terms of depth of plot.

3. Which book has a better exploration of themes?

Again, the answer to this question is subjective. The themes explored in a book can vary greatly and may resonate differently with different readers. It is important to read both books and determine which one delves deeper into themes that are meaningful to you.

4. Which book has more thought-provoking writing?

Once again, this question is subjective and depends on the individual reader's interpretation. Some may find one book to have more thought-provoking writing, while others may find the other book to be more profound. It is best to read both books and decide which one resonates more with you on a thought-provoking level.

5. Which book has a more profound message?

The answer to this question can vary greatly depending on the individual reader's interpretation of the message. One book may have a more powerful message for some, while others may find the other book to be more impactful. It is important to read both books and determine which one resonates more with you in terms of the message it conveys.
