Rating: - Analysis of Freud's Book of Psychoanalysis
Freud, surprisingly, does a fine job in explicating the basic ideas behind Psychoanalysis.

Rating:  - Freud was interesting, but troubled...

I found that this book was on a higher level than most of Freud's literary pieces. Though many of the same information is presented here, it is presented in a wholey different manner, and a much more understandable one. I personaly find this a fairly good source of reference. Though one can not rely completely on anyone of Freud's ideas; they give good background to new ones.
