Title: patterns Review: Pattern Recognition was not much fun to read. I found myself having to back up several times just to figure out where I was, who I was with, and what we were doing. Gibson introduced some neat ideas, like "coolhunting," but they went mostly undeveloped. When I look back now, 15 minutes after finishing the book, I see darkness, some half-grasped plot points whirling around like street trash in the wind...and I'm a good reader. I wanted to like Cayce, but there wasn't enough of her to like, or the other characters either. The whole novel seemed to pick up and discard elements of modern life--modern wealthy life, that is--with abandon. I thought the ending was less than satisfying. Yay, happy ending. I was more relieved than anything else. Having committed my time and money to the book, I couldn't just not finish. Is this product review negative?

Title: Solo Improv for Expanded Piano Review: As A great admirer of Methany & Mays, I too looked forward to the release of this album. I have Lyle's last recording and play it often. I was very disappointed in this disjointed CD. This sounded like a bad practice session. I kept going from track to track to find something musically pleasing to the ear, but alas nothing even close. Is this product review negative?

Answer: Yes


Title: Terrible Review: I enjoy many racing games . . . GT3, Burnout, Rallisport . . . but this one is horrible. Handling is fine, graphics are beautiful, replay fun, but everything else doesn't live up to the hype. Sound: you cannot hear the cars, the cheering washes out the cars and no way to adjust what sound is at what level. Tracks: are odd and irregular. And AI seem to cheat a bit . . . but that is in every game to a degree. Is this product review negative?
