Title: Bad Political Rant Done Badly Review: One of the things that made Clancy's best novels great was the way he kept 20 interlinked stories going at once in descriptive, but not excessive detail that kept your heart racing. He had an amazing ability to protray each group from their viewpoint without judgement, and with some accuracy. He did the best and the worst of society. Apparent his hate of even the mildest of Environmentalists is too great to allow this type of protrayal, or he just didn't have time to do any research on Environmentalist any place other the National Review. His protrayals of the groups involved is shallow and unbelievable, and he has conpensated for only involving a few groups by increasing detail about things he clearly doesn't understand. This book is so bad it goes on the very short list of Books that I can't finish and plan to throw in the garbage to avoid punishing others with its poorly written drivel.

Title: Mostly ignores First Division's history prior to WWII Review: My great-grandfather was a combat veteran with the "Big Red One" in World War I. I bought this book, and several others, because I wanted to learn more about what he experienced as a solider in the "Great War". This book is devoted almost exclusively to the First Division's history from World War II onward. Even the "clothing and equipment" sections are of WWII vintage. There are only a few pages devoted to the First Division's formulation in 1917 and their major campaigns of WWI. What content does appear for WWI is a high-level summation of events. I hope that the other books that I purchased about the "Big Red One" provide a more complete history "from day one". My rating of this book is lower than usual due to to absence of detailed information about the First Division prior to WWII. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Hazel Atlas fanatic Review: This book is great, lots of stuff Hazel Atlas Glass Co. made cannot be found in most depression glass guides. This book bridges that gap. Is the review positive or negative?
Positive

Title: Good but Sad Review: This Pulitzer Prize winning author revealed a lot about his life, unfortunately it wasn't a happy one. I was intrigued particularly by his writing about the woman in N. Carolina who drowned her two sons by letting her car roll into a lake. Bragg's mother's comment was so perceptive! Is the review positive or negative?
