Title: all show, no substance Review: As another reviewer said, "great pictures, bad recipes." This book looks and sounds nice and has some useful information, but the recipes are either bland or just plain awful. I knew when buying the book that it was written for strict yogis who are not only vegetarian, but also don't eat foods like onion, garlic, or strong seasonings. Even though I am not this strict a vegetarian, I thought the recipes could still be interesting and tasty so I gave it a try. Big mistake. I consider myself a pretty good cook, but I had problems with every one of the 3 or 4 dishes I attempted. There's no way these recipes could have been tested. The Eggplant Quinoa was the last and absolute worst; it was barely edible. I threw most of it away, wasting valuable food. Feeling I'd given the book a fair trial, I promptly pitched it into the recycling bin as I wouldn't dare pass it on to anyone else. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Title: Could have used a reasonable editor Review: The core argument of this book, that reason or rational thinking is a value-free activity, which we can put to whatever use we please, is indisputable. At the same time, I think there is great value in stating the argument as directly as this book does. However, the discussion in the book is often reductive, digressive at best, scattered at worst. In addition, the author's own phobias and neuroses are frequently on display (a rather morbid view of sex is an example). A good editor probably could have done wonders to focus the author's work and eliminate some of the overt weirdness.The subject deserves a more nuanced and better edited discussion.

Title: Life is too short for hate Review: Hate... Hate and love are the two most powerful emotions in the world. The two of these emotions can be taken too extremes, and when they do, very powerful events can happen. In American History X, the feeling of hate is overwhelming. Derrick radiates this hate to all that surrounds him. He holds this rage inside, and lets it consume his life. He is so blinded by his hate that he does not take the time to see all sides of the story. The death of his father just seemed to justify thoughts that were already implanted in his head. American History X, shows this powerful emotion of hate like no other movie has been able to do. The reality and no nonsense presentation of the movie are what touches each person so deeply. To capture the essence of hate is a very powerful thing. The movie was able to capture the idea that hate can take over and run your life. You become blind to what you are actually doing, and become desensitized to all other human emotions. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Title: MAN CAN PLAY!!! Review: This show demonstrates that there are some entertainers out there that know how to ROCK THE HOUSE. I recommend this and Joe's other live shows. Each shows a little different side of him, all good. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?
