Q: Title: poor rehash of famous big-budget disasters Review: This book's subtitle is "Lessons Learned from Massive Software Project Failures." A more accurate subtitle would be "Assortment of InformationWeek articles written about costly failures that involved software." This is a shallow and superficial book. There is no original research, no original reporting, and no deep analysis.Sometimes there are three separate articles on the same failed software project! This is pointless repetition, not any type of deeper analysis. It's like reading a xeroxed collection of articles, except it's in a glossy cover. The "author" writes a few paragraphs before and after each project.The quantification, if there is any, involves the dollars exchanged in the settlement between the two companies. No numbers about anything technical ever appear.This is a good book if you're a consultant and you want some scary stories to tell a CIO. If you want advice, read one of Steve McConnell's books.

Q: Title: Your kid might like it But it doesn't mean it's a good thing Review: Although the idea behind "Baby Einstein" collection is excellent, the implementation (presentation) and execution of the idea are very poor.After reviewing "Baby Dolittle Neighborhood Animals", which many people gave it 5 stars, I was quite disappointed...Objectively speaking, this program doesn't deserve 5 stars. It is better to take the idea and implement it in your own ways... See it for yourself! I almost bought it and the entire "Baby Einstein" when I saw the first few 5 star reviews on Amazon.com!! Until I read couple reviews that actually reviewed the "program" not "the reaction of their children to the program". Those reviews gave me more of a objective view on this tape and the "Baby Einstein" series.Get this program mainly for its entertainment value, not for education one.

A: Yes


Q: Title: These Filter Water... Review: ...and that's what you want them to do, right?They work fine for me - they are conservatively rated for two months use, but I think it really depends on your tap water, the amount of contaminants it contains, and your perception of how it tastes. Is this product review negative?

A: No


Q: Title: Not What You Need. Review: Some good advice but very low on content. No step by step instructions. Doesn't even come close to SEO for Dummies by Peter Kent. Peter's book is what you need. Is this product review negative?
