Jay's and others.  I would imagine that the various authors, 
apart from the issue of the depth and competence with which 
they render Adorno's ideas, differ among themselves in 
emphasis of which ideas are singled out as most important 
and the context in which they are placed, and also in the 
interpretation and evaluation of his philosophy.

I would highly recommend Gillian Rose's book _The 
Melancholy Science_ (or anything by Rose actually).  I found 
this book to be a bit more comprehensive than Jay's _Adorno_ 
and Buck-Morss's _Origin of ND_.
