Title: A terrific read! Review: Moody, atmospheric, and sometimes grim, Leigh has created an eerie world which feels complex and real. The mystery presented to the characters has several layers, and a very satisfying conclusion. Contains some intensely emotional sequences which heighten the book's appeal. Is the review positive or negative?
(A).
Positive

Title: Lacking substance and will not benefit the pro DBA Review: Hi thereComing from an Oracle and SQL Server world, not alot changes really between the enterprise class DBMSs, many of the same best practice principals apply. Unfortunatly, this book falls WELL short of the mark.The book only glances over tuning, with no thorough look into the startup parameters for example. Indexing, stats collection etc is also very poor and there are no discussions on internals (to save us all from reading the code!).The replication chapter was OK, but I would seriosly suggest that the modelled replication model for load balancing is a really bad idea and a maintenance/cost nightmare.For a prod dba from Oracle or SQL, you will be very disappointed. Is the review positive or negative?
(A).
Negative

Title: The Item Was Delivered Promptly & Correctly Review: I appreciated the quick delivery, however the sound quality is not the best (the volume fades in and out). Regardless, it is still a good item at a good price. I bought 3 CD's and 1 was great, the other 2, not so good and this was one of the 2. Is the review positive or negative?
(A).
