I strongly suggest this book by Stephen Houlgate (a heavy hitter in Hegel scholarship). It's cultivated my interest in German Idealism.
In my opinion the best book on the Phenomenology is Quentin Lauer's. However, the easiest, but sometimes simplistic, book is Robert Stern's. Also, check out this brief introduction to the Phenomenology by Stephen Houlgate.
Edit: For the best overview of Hegel's thought in general look at Houlgate's.
Yeah, it's not really that clear. I'd recommend Stephen Houlgate's An Introduction to Hegel instead (esp chapters 1 & 2). That's written for undergrads in mind, and is as accessible as can be without dumbing down.
This new edition of Adorno's introduction lectures on dialectics looks good too (but I've not read it so can't vouch for it). But generally the books transcribed from his lectures are easier to understand than his own books.
On Hegel in particular, I would recommend Hegel: A Very Short Introduction or the more scholarly An Introduction to Hegel: Freedom, Truth and History.
