Like many of you here today, I had to buy this book for a college psychology class, introductory level. It served its purpose well by covering a wide variety of topics. The brain, human development, learning, memory, personality, motivation, emotions, psychological disorders, therapy, social psychology... The book gives an overview of just about everything a newbie needs to know.
I wouldn't go so far as to call it a fun read--it is a textbook after all--but never did it feel painful. The text has pinches of humor in it, pictures to illustrate the main points, and some comics to go along with the reading. Not to mention a lot of it is pretty interesting, applicable to everyday life. It makes its points clearly, not relying on heavy jargon, yet doesn't talk down to readers either.
At times, it gives so many examples of research to back up its point that it's easy to get lost in very specific statistics. Just focus on the main point the statistics and findings are supporting. Also, sections discussing the biology of the brain can get very confusing--something relatively unavoidable. As a whole, though, the text is a relatively smooth read. Plus, the margins are nice and large, allowing students to take plenty of notes.
However, I don't think you have to be in school to get something out of this textbook. I, for one, am a writer and editor who does not specialize in psychology at all, but I've already consulted this book on a few occasions. It provides solid research to back up claims that are relevant to our lives. For instance, is violent media linked to actual violent behavior? Is "letting your anger out" better than holding it in? How does war affect our soldiers? Are job interviews accurate?
