Title: Bleh Review: Good: Entertaining (a little)Bad: Predictable, reads like it was transcripted from a cheesy action movie. No background. Only 2 "cases" the detective takes are one and the same. Deus Ex events (there literally is a character that shows up at key moments just to push the story, then disappears). Main character always manages to set down or drop his weapons just as a fight starts. Magic is boring and inconsistent.The writing could be good, but the author would need to tweak his action and totally redo his plot. It comes off as an adolescent book. There is no complexity, no backstory (other than just monologue), no weight to the world. Characters are flat and can be mixed up. Data dumps. Physical descriptions take priority over depth.In a nutshell, Dresden is interesting. The world and other characters are not.Adolescents and light-hearted readers would enjoy this more. I'd like some weight to my stories :( Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Title: A great place to start for Brazilian/Afro-Cubano guitar Review: Mr. Bruce Buckingham is a musician and professional educator. As such, his academic approach seams to be very well designed to take you from the beginnings of Bossa Nova, into the more complex rhythms in a logical, progressive manner. My impression is that he is well familiar with the learning process and knows how to nurture it. He uses tablature, which on the one hand tends to tolerate the aweful illiteracy we find in so many guitarists, but on the other hand I guess if you want to sell guitar books, you have to include that majority of guitar players who are unable to read music. I recommend this book to my guitar students as a great latin resource, even though I wish educators would stop catering to illiteracy by using tabs; it's like making ebonics an official language so ghetto kids don't have to learn real English.

Title: Not a very good book to read for technique Review: I thought that this book was nothing more than a attempt to make fun of Tai Chi. It was written as a reference for those people who like to bring things down to their level of thinking. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Title: Foolish waste of a good actor. Review: I found this movie very hard to follow. I couldn't tell if it were a horror movie, a monster movie or a bunch of wild hallucinations. The plot did not flow smoothly and at the end I was still left with the question of "What the heck happened?" Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?
