Both the books are good but according to my personal experience the language of JD LEE is simpler than atkins. I referred JDLEE during my JEE prep and Atkins during IIT days.

However, I would recommend to read selectively from these books as these books are university level and are not exactly JEE level. They have lot of info that is not required for a JEE aspirant.

So read topics like chemical bonding and atomic structure that has been explained very beautifully in LEE but try to avoid the factual topics like p block and s block.

Thanks & Regards
