Question: Title: Rambling, poorly written text book. Review: I pity the poor students who are assigned to read this rambling, poorly written exposition on Jacksonian America circa 1825-50. Admittedly the book is packed with facts (many fascinating) depicting this period, but it is a difficult read because it sets forth conflicting data and rambles incessantly. This leaves the reader to do his own screening to separate out important information. What I also found disappointing is that the book fails to present an exposition on Jackson, the father of the modern Democratic party. Rather the book focuses on the political parties at the time (Democrats and Whigs) and their allegedly self-aggrandizing similarity. Pessen also devotes an inordinate amount of time arguing, non-persuasively, that America was and is not a classless society. I found the book a disappointment and cannot recommend it. Is the review positive or negative?

Question: Title: Limited utility toy Review: It's big, apparently tough for outdoor play, but for a nearly 3 year old, very limited in what can be done with it. Even as an adult, I found that the crane mechanism was difficult to manipulate and the hook system was impractical to use for anything. Ours came with a bunch of heavy paper construction blocks you put together, intended to use with the crane hook, but they don't fit on it, so they're useless. Plastic tabs are on some of them to insert the hook rail in to, but even that isn't very functional. Crane winding knob is too difficult for small child also. With only 3 big Tonkas available now for kids to play with outside, this is a big disappointment in the set. Only the Mighty Dump Truck is really a good toy for kids, as even the loader has little going for it. Crane is definitely the worst, though. Not the Tonkas of my youth, that's for sure!

Question: Title: Not like roses Review: I was trying to find a perfume that smells like roses. My 90-year-old mother loves Avon's To a Wild Rose, which has been discontinued. I was hoping this perfume might smell like roses, but it does not. So, my quest goes on. Is the review positive or negative?
