Not bad, but not good. Would give it four stars, but four star is termed as "I like it".
Had trouble understanding some concepts because they were not explained clear enough. Googled the same concepts and found clearer and more in-depth explanations (or just written in more extensive layman terms).
Everything else was good. Should also visit link on back cover of the text for online multiple choice AND written quizzes and vocab flashcards that really help in cases of tests. The online quizzes cover main points of chapters and if anything left unsure after doing quizzes, should double-check in text (which I said "i'll be okay" and lost an A).
And for those that really want to save cash, international edition is around same price as renting.

I purchased this textbook for a recent college psychology class and assumed I would "flip" through it like most of my textbooks, pick out the important stuff, and then sell it at the end of the semester. I was surprised from the start, the book from beginning to end (or at least where we ended in class) is an easy read that is simple to follow. The chapters are not too long, offer graphs and definitions for important terms. There is no extra information crammed between the important information, so you do not have to spend hours reading through excessive examples and additional material. I will more than likely keep this book for my own collection, as it has a lot of interesting material in it. You will find everything from research methods (the very basics) to applying them to real life situations. I definitely recommend this for both professors looking for a new, updated textbook or for someone who is just simply interested in learning more about how studies and research in the psychology field is conducted.
