Schutzs vs Hurtle: Exploring Book Content

In summary, the Schutz book is lacking in depth and only covers topics briefly. The diagrams are also poor. On the other hand, Hartle's book has more examples within the chapters and the structure is well-organized. However, the problems in both books are similar and the diagrams in Hartle's book are not as good as those in MTW.

I'm finding the schutzs book very bare bones. He barely explains anything and basically runs over most topics with one liners. Is this how it is in the hurtle book?
And also, are the diagrams better in that one? The diagrams in schutzs are atrocious

Hartle has a lot more examples within the chapters themselves but the chapter problems are pretty much the same as those in Schutz. The chronology / structure of Schutz's book I find is better than Hartle's but the fact that Hartle provides a good number of examples is a big plus. The diagrams are good but they aren't like the ones in MTW or anything.
