Title: Hands-on book, excellent reference Review: The master of 'em all, Bjarne Stroustrup. The C++ Programming Language is a wonderful intermediate-level reference book on the language.Be warned, this is not a tutorial. This has been written for those already proficient (or conversant) in the language. And for such readers, this is a treat.Unlike many other texts, this is a hands-on book. It requires a good deal of commitment from the reader, because it's not written in a way as to make you laugh every third line - believe me, it's a serious book.As for the content, you'll find that it is presented in a clear-cut and straightforward format that you'll love to read.My C++ shelf would be incomplete without this one. It's an excellent reference text Is this product review negative?

Title: "I don't want to write a book ..." Review: ... Levitt quotes himself (!) as saying, "unless maybe Dubner and I could do it together." The result is a strange and ugly collaboration. There are a few interesting ideas (few because it's short and very leisurely paced), but they are not so much argued as revealed, interlarded with comments (by Dubner, one hopes) about how brilliant Levitt is.It's tedious, but more important, it subverts the theme of the book. Over and over they tell us not to believe experts, to think for ourselves, to look at the data. But the presentation is so superficial and the data so thin that no reader could reach the same conclusions thinking for herself. Instead, we just have one more expert telling us the others are wrong. How fresh and radical is that? Is this product review negative?

Title: Happy Customer Review: We ordered the steamer on May 31, and received it on June 6.We purchased this one because it has a one-quart capacity for water, and yes, it will put out steam for a half hour.We're removing wallpaper from our bathroom walls - easilyThis steamer is easy to use! There are more attachments for it than we may ever need, but they're here. The cord is long, and the hose and wand make it possible to use it on walls without holding one's arms above one's head!I can't wait to use it on our radiators. We have steam heat, and the old radiators are impossible to clean using conventional methods. I'm sure it's gonna do just fine. Is this product review negative?

Title: Disappointed Review: I was disappointed with this book. I do not have the scientific background to comment on the research value but the main points seemed too much based on one exceptional case study. Actually, the author's lambasting of the anonymous reviewer reflects the self-indulgent and narcissistic tone of the work. By the way, have you noticed how the positive reviews of this manuscript copy the easy flowing style of the author? Remarcable. Is this product review negative?
