Question: Title: junk Review: Bought this a few months ago, used for the first time on a pork loin in my "Big Easy" cooker. After 10 minutes temperature reading shot up to "hi" and stayed that way, even after putting the probe in water. Battery was new and checked out fine. I suspect faulty cable, cable jacket seems like a poor choice for hot application. Just another foreign made piece of crap. Is the review positive or negative?
Answer: Negative

Question: Title: Huge Disappointment Review: I was excited to get this book and as I started reading it, I was tempted to start sending free copies to my friends. That was very premature and I'm glad I didn't.From the writing standpoint, the characters are very interesting and moderately well developed. It's a great story. The problem? The ending. When I read the last chapter I was seriously tempted to throw the book across the room. It's the first time I recall being actually pissed off at the way a book ended.Beyond that, I would also warn that the fight sequences are UN-ENDING. They go on forever. I wound up just skimming and skimming, especially towards the end of the book. I mean really... how many (and how long) sword/fight sequences can you read?This was a great book in concept. And it should have been a great book in excecution. But the ending was horrible.Don't waste your time spending hours reading this just so you can get to the end and hate that you did it.

Question: Title: Sweet, Entertaining, Nostalgic Review: "Cursed by a Happy Childhood" is a memoir about growing up on the eastern end of Long Island (the North Fork), 100 miles east of Manhattan, in a rural setting. (This is not the Long Island of suburban/urban Nassau County, but of a far more rural, sheltered place, east of the corn fields and north of the touristed Hamptons.) The author wrote the memoir as a series of vignettes filled with both reflections on his own mostly innocent childhood paired with advice for his own tween-aged daughter. It is sweet, largely positive, and endearing. The ten-page postscript is the largest detractor of this book: it appears to have been written separately from the rest of the memoir (perhaps an earlier, shorter version), often repeating vignettes, examples, and phrasing from earlier in the book; it seems to have been incorporated last minute and appears to have escaped the red ink of the editor as there are numerous typos. Read the book, but skip the last 10 pages. Is the review positive or negative?
