Q: Title: Too superifical in it's explanations. Review: Most of the books on Java are either too technical or they are too superficial in their explanations. Unfortunately, although this book does have "live code", complete written out programs for examples, it ultimately falls into the 'too superficial' category. For example, the chapter on classes is very brief and the examples are programs that do practically nothing, so it's difficult to get a grasp for how classes actually work. I recommend instead, "Java How to Program" by Deitel and Deitel. Is this product review negative?

A: Yes

A: No


Q: Title: Gold version is wonderful Review: I had this album 30 years ago, and wore it out. Two years ago I bought the Elektra CD, and was astonished at how bad it was. It made me wonder if I misremembered how good the album was. This Gold version is the answer -- the difference is like night and day. Whatever was done wrong when making that Elektra stinker, has been set right on the Gold CD. If you REALLY want to hear Judy Collin's voice in all its glory, this is the CD to buy. If I hadn't compared the two CDs myself, I would never have believed there could be so much difference. Is this product review negative?

A: No


Q: Title: Full-blooded Review: I read this collection of "Big Bend" lore (relating to TransPecos Texas south of the first rail line, roughly south of the Davis Mtns) during a recent visit to the region, and was able to pick up on a lot of the cultural elements of this fascinating country. The publishing date (1955) gives it a peculiar added interest, namely that of a snapshot of west Texas at the outset of the "civil rights" era; Ms. Madison, like most intelligent white Southerners (yes, Texas was a "Southern state" at that time), varied between cultural liberality and defensiveness, a "we have problems, but we can solve them ourselves" sort of thing. She is a skilled discursive writer, and people with an interest in this area should find the book enjoyable. Is this product review negative?
