Summary: It is good.
Comment: Hall does a very good job of describing all of Freuds psychological/ philosophical concepts. He covers everything: id, ego, superego, dreams, psychoanalysis, and of course the infamous developmental stages focused mainly on sexual drive and the pleasure principle. Good book, very understandable.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great Primer to Freud
Comment: Hall (the author) really does his job here. He explains Freud's theories in an easy to read manner, transforming thousands of pages of Freudian essays into a little over a hundred. Freud's background really helps the reader to understand the man who some say was genius and some say was a fool. The Id, Ego, and Superego are (as it would be expected to be) well outlined and informative. Halls explains Freud's Psychic Energy theory and how the three parts of the conscious mind work together in day to day activities. It wouldn't be Freud if the book didn't mention sex, and Hall does a great job explaining the three zones of the body (oral, anal, and sexual). And, of course, the Oedipal complex is in there, in all it's glory.
And remember, "A cigar is just a cigar..."

Summary: Clear, and presented in a well integrated manner
Comment: This book covers all of Freud's work in a brief, yet complete manner. It is a short book, but very full of information. The author's approach truly fulfills his mission. He starts the book talking about Freud and his times, and how his background and natural curiosity led him eventually to found psychoanalysis. In discussing the theories of Freud, Hall begins with basics and sequentially builds to a thorough review of the theories. Some writers are bewildering because they begin discussing more advanced theories before laying the groundwork. Not so here; the author provides all you need to know in a clear, stimulating manner before proceeding to the next level of complexity. Whether you are interested in psychology, psychoanalysis in the arts, psychoanalysis as an historical phenomenon or otherwise, this book is a great resource.
