This review is from: Invitation to Psychology, Study Edition (3rd Edition) (Paperback)

I used this textbook in my general psychology class in college.
All in all I would say it was a good book. It explores many important aspects of psychology.
It's a very good textbook when taking that subject in school.
(Like any textbook) At times the material can seem a bit dry, but overall it's a very useful text if you are interested in studying the field of psychology.
