The Times Higher Education review said, "The first edition of this textbook was notable for providing a clear and logical overview of particle physics that was at the right level for advanced undergraduates... The contents of this revised edition are largely similar to those contained in the first edition and changes reflect the development of the subject in the intervening 20 years. As a result, some discussions have now been tightened or removed, and chapters describing neutrino oscillations and contemporary theoretical developments have been added." The review concluded, "Reading any section will always yield insights, and you can't go wrong with Griffiths as a guide. Who is it for? Advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, lecturers and anyone in the field of experimental particle physics."
