The #1 crochet book I recommend is "The Happy Hooker" (snort) which is the crochet companion to the Stitch'n'Bitch book.
Also, make sure you're holding the yarn and the hook correctly - I wasn't when I first started and my tension was much too tight.
Other than that, trial and error!

I agree with getting the Happy Hooker. Other than that, go ahead and let your tension be loose at first while you're learning. Better too loose than too tight.
