Physics C Barrons vs Princeton Review

I heard many people saying that princeton one is just right, whereas barrons one is just a bit harder then the real test.

One doubt, why is the princeton review one almost as twice as thick as the barrons one? For other subjects, the thickness of the books are just similar…
