What is the best book to learn about Islam?

[Curiousity]

Is there a book (other than the Koran) that you can recommend to me that does a good job explaining Islam? I would like to understand what Muslims believe about the purpose of mankind, good and evil, paradise and hell, etc. Thanks in advance for your help.
