David Myers has done something incredible: written a near perfect textbook that can be used both at the AP and university level. Obsessively up to date, and an occasional quip so you can have a laugh. The book is balanced with physiological explanations as well as some representative behavioral treatments. The text is now a standard for beginning level psychology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Text!, January 18, 2009

This review is from: Psychology, Eighth Edition, in Modules (Hardcover)

I used an older edition of this text book when I was a sophomore in high school for my AP Psychology course. The text book was interesting, and was very consise and easy to read. My teachers weren't the best, but with this textbook I was able to score an easy 5 on the exam (I almost laughed during the exam because it seemed too easy).

The only bad thing I have to say about this textbook is that the binding isn't that strong. It would be great for a one use occassion, but because my school used these for a few years, it didn't take much to put all of the "Myers in Modules" books into pieces.

Overall, it's a great textbook, and I highly recommend it for anybody who is taking an introductory psychology course, the AP Psychology course, or anybody who is interested in psychology!
