Review title: A fascinating subject, but a repetitive book Product review: I had been waiting a year to find the time to read this intriguing book. However, having just finished it, I find myself dissatisfied and frustrated. While the subject is certainly interesting and one on which we should probably all educate ourselves, I found the book to be extremely repetitive. As a medical student, the science wasn't over my head but I caught myself skimming parts of the last 75 pages for new information that hadn't already been written about earlier in the book. Matsumoto says the same thing 400 different ways... the only part that drew me in were the personal stories scattered throughout the pages. Reading the book jacket is probably sufficient to tell you everything you'd want to know... I'm thoroughly disappointed.
Answer: decrease

Review title: Questionable Objectivity, Good Writing Product review: It's said that all biographers fall in love with their subjects, but McCullough is particularly guilty of this. The book is well-written and comprehensive, but McCullough skews the book too much in Adams' favor, lauding his accomplishments but minimizing some major flaws in his character and career (admiration for monarchy, distrust of popular democracy (including forcible suppression of his enemies), and his Alien and Sedition Acts that subverted the Bill of Rights).McCullough shows the same fawning admiration and lack of balance in his biography of Harry S. Truman.

Question: You are considering whether to buy a product. You look at the reviews. Would the following review decrease or increase the chances of you buying the product? Review title: a great book Product review: In its expose of Vatican intrique, particularly as it pertains to pre-World War II, this book is exceeded only by Lucien Gregoire's "Murder in the Vatican." Both books are very much history books and both are written to the maker's mark.
