Kurzbeschreibung
An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory is a textbook intended for the graduate physics course covering relativistic quantum mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, and Feynman diagrams. The authors make these subjects accessible through carefully worked examples illustrating the technical aspects of the subject, and intuitive explanations of what is going on behind the mathematics. After presenting the basics of quantum electrodynamics, the authors discuss the theory of renormalization and its relation to statistical mechanics, and introduce the renormalization group. This discussion sets the stage for a discussion of the physical principles that underlie the fundamental interactions of elementary particle physics and their description by gauge field theories.

The book of Peskin and Schroeder is an "introduction" to almost all perturbative aspects of quantum field theory and the standard model.
The value of this book is, that it can be used without prior knowledge in quantum field theory and the reader gets a very dense picture of what is going on in this subject.
The book also covers some examples of perturbation theory beyond the leading order, which is a valuable thing if you are a graduate student with your first research project, where you have actually to calculate such things. However, here, more examples would be good.
The problem of this book can also be considered as its strenght. The book is, for the broad range of topics it covers, unfortunately somewhat short. But this makes it possible for the reader, to read all of the book in a relatively short time and to aquire much knowledge.
On the other hand, the book uses often a mixture of heuristical add-hoc derivations and exact proves.
The book is intended to be a successor of the quantum field theory books from James Bjorken and Sidney Drell. These guys wiseley separated their course in quantum electrodynamics into two books. One, in which the reader finds approximative ad-hoc arguments and derivations only up to first order in perturbation theory, so that he can learn how to compute things. The second volume of Bjorken Drells books contains the same theory from a more exact and rigorous viewpoint, so that the reader gets physical insight behind the principles of quantum electrodynamics.
Peskin and Schroeder discuss much more subjects than Bjorken and Drell. Wilsons ideas on renormalisation, quantum chromodynamics, electroweak theory, spontaneous symmetry breaking and the Higgs mechanism. However, due to this increased content, it would be difficult in such an introduction, to separate the whole content into two volumes of which one deals with approximative ad hoc derivations and calculational problems and the other is about exact theorems and physical principles which are then exactly prooved.
So, Peskin and Schroeder wrote one book containing a mixture of exact derivations and approximative add-hoc assumptions. As these different ways of reasoning get mixed in the text at every chapter, Peskin Schroeders book might, for some people be difficult to read. The difficulty of this book comes simply because the authors tried to archive the highest "information per page" ratio and often attempted to shorten a path that would, if one would do it in an exact way, require many pages of, with a simple approximative argument. This mixture, of exact theorems and approximative arguments could make the book difficult to read for freshmans. But, on the other hand, no quantum field theory book discusses so much things comprehensively in one simple volume. So the book remains a "must read", which is, due to the inherent difficulty described above, suplemented best by other books. Like the two books of Bjorken and Drell, the book by Aitchison and Heye and of course the famous and precisely written three volumes by Weinberg about quantum field theory.

First of all, P&S is not an easy book, and if you are making first contact with QFT, texts like those of Ryder may be a better choice. Nevertheless, P&S is nicely written and if you are ready to invest a sufficient amount of time (and are, perhaps, already a little bit familiar with the subject), this turns out to be rewarding.
Going beyond more classical approaches (where you end up calculating S-matrix-elements), P&S introduces a unified approach that also covers the theory of critical phenomena and the strong connections to statistical mechanics.
If you're not willing to work out the book, it is still very useful for looking up certain topics that are poorly explained or missing at all in introductory texts. Sadly, P&S has the same weakness as almost all books on QFT - soon, there is a strong focus on perturbation expansion, hiding more general features of the theory. But probably you cannot have all at once.

A superb intermediate level field theory text. One of the few texts I have encountered that can (and should perhaps) be read sequentially. The presentation of the modern Wilsonian view of renormalization, and effective field theories is especially superb. The calculational detail and accompanying discussion at every step is near perfect IMHO, and the book is tied together in almost a narrative style! A must have in every physicist's collection.
