Q: Title: Partner, Manning & Marder, Kass, Ellrod, Ramirez Review: What a wonderful book. Great character development. Judge Smith developed characters that the reader cares about,empathizes with and we get to watch the characters grow. Lawyers will definetely identify with the courtroom drama, difficult clients, and the lead characters. However, this book hits home for non-attorneys too. I hope there will be a sequel. Is the review positive or negative?
A: Positive


Q: Title: what about their later stuff? Review: this is a good album that just misses getting 5 stars because of its disproportionate emphasis on Blondie's early career - there's only 3 tracks here from AutoAmerican! Too many tedious demos and a couple of throwaway remixes at the end make Blondie sound disposable. However, if you're not going to buy their individual albums The Platinum Collection is the way to go. Is the review positive or negative?
A: Positive


Q: Title: Worthless paper weight Review: This product never worked and I sent it back for a refund. I'm not an expert at computers or networking, but am pretty good and can read the directions. Product never worked as advertised. Is the review positive or negative?
A: Negative


Q: Title: Andrew Hurley's translations are a travesty Review: I regrettably have to concur with the readers from Portland and Panama - as they indicate this collection is a tragedy, as well as a travesty. Here are a couple of examples from my desert island short story, Tlon Uqbar, Orbius Tertius:- Andrew Hurley has: "The mirror troubled the far end of a hallway in a large country house..."- James E. Irby (in the Penguin Modern Classic edition of Labyrinths) has: "The mirror troubled the depths of a corridor in a country house..."andAH: "... A literal (though also laggardly) reprint..."JEI: "... a literal but delinquent reprint..."He doesn't seem to have any respect for Borges' style of writing. Really disappointing. And Carlos Fuentes, a notable admirer of Borges, shared this view on reviewing the Hurley edition.Avoid. Is the review positive or negative?
