gwenby's review against another edition
5.0
The MOST engaging textbook I've ever read. Sidebars, graphics, and quotations balance out basic text to offer on-page diversions not unlike the websites popular today. Impeccable use of the English language.

An interesting enough textbook. I haven't read word for word but what I've read of it, I've enjoyed. Psychology is always interesting, and this textbook does a good job teaching it.

Confession time: I never read the readings my prof/teacher assign. I just can't sit there for 2-hours reading a textbook when I can be reading much more fascinating stories. This is, however, not the case with this special purple-with-lime-green-spine textbook. (Carrying it was like having an accessory with you).
It was humorous, had excellent examples and read like a story. While I was reading a chapter on human emotions, I saw on the margins, where the definitions should have been, a side note that was along the lines of "The author of this book hopes you smile often while reading this book.
As a major in science, I wish our textbooks can be this good.
