Rating: - A good place to start
For the beginning psychology student, or for someone who just wants to learn some of the basics, this is a good book.

It teaches many of the psych terms and gives examples of how the ideas apply to real life. It also gets a little into the biological things having to do with psychology, but not real deep.
A few entertaining things are in there as well, like small comic strips to demonstrate their points in a humorous way.
