Question: Title: This was the best book I have read in a long time. Review: Let me say I am not a christian, I was raised as in a Lutheren Chruch , married a Christian women but still resist the "call". I was throughly impressed with Mr. Yancey's book. Not only was it entertaining and well written but it disscussed topics that are a big stubling block for nonchristians. i.e. legalism, inflexibility,judgement and on and on. If all christians read this book and took a good look at them self they may discover why people are turned off when people hear the word christian. I would say it is a must read and have already lent it out to friends with excellent reviews back. Is this product review negative?
Answer: No

Question: Title: A Detailed Chronology with Little Analysis Review: Bill Quandt's volume on the American role in the Middle East peace process reads more as a chronology of events than a real analytical piece of history. The author devotes an extradinary amount of detail to minor events and actions without really explaining the motives of the players behind the actions. The strongest part of the book is the Presidential Crisis decision making model, in which he explains how he feels US policy on the issue is molded. There is little to judge against, however, since the author does not really do justice to the other theories of US decisionmaking on the middle east. Whether or not he agrees with them, he could at least tell us why he thinks they are incorrect. And finally, the amount of minutia the author goes into ends up leaving the reader wishing he would just decide to highlight a few important events and motives. Is this product review negative?
Answer: Yes

Question: Title: Pretty lifeless Review: Just to counter the other reviewers, I must say that I find this performance to have a deadening effect on me, and I have listened to it several times. The tempos are on the slow side, and the chance taking is nil, as is any sense of passion. I am a big fan of Rudolf Serkin's playing, usually finding it passionate and spiritual, but, perhaps due to his age when this recording was made, I find these qualities lacking here. Of course, everything is competently played, but that is all the good I can say about it. I am sorry I purchased this recording, and do not recommend it. Is this product review negative?
