Interesting and easy

This book was a gift for my daughter, she is enjoying it and learning from it. The book is in the simple Idiots format and other than being a little slow to start it does get interesting.

Great reading, easy to unstand.

I was looking for an introduction to psychology without the indepth confusion of advanced study and I found what I was looking for in this book. It gives information with easy to understand explaination of the terms and on the lessons being given. The author uses good analogies to help explain what she is trying to say and keeps it light to hold your interest. Definitely a good book for beginners and the curious.

Excellent study guide for CLEP exam

I took the Introduction to Psychology CLEP exam on Saturday, December 4th. This was the only book I used to study. Yes, the only book. The book is an excellent introduction to Psychology and provide a really good foundation. I would recommend reading it before taking Psychology 101.

Idiot's Guide to Psychology

I am interested in psychology but I am only in 10th grade so I have had no formal training in psychology. I really liked this book because it gave me a quick overview of psychology without getting too technical. It was easy to read even for someone who does not know a lot about the subject. It gives an overview of every aspect of psychology and is a great book for anyone who is interested in psychology and just wants an overview.

The complete Idiot's Guide to Psychology

This was a required book for my AP Psychology course and I would have drowned in the course without it. It's well worth the $15.00!
