Ques: Title: Somewhat of a Disappointment Review: As a graduate student of security policy at Columbia University, I was excited to read Nutter's book. Although it raised interesting questons, it was somewhat disappointing. Information is largely anecdotal and lightly supported and analyzed. Unusually poor editing makes for a sometimes irritating read for those who care about such things. I appreciate Nutter's main aim, which is to examine--and question--the wisdom and risks inherent in covert action. However, he falls victim himself to the alluring mystique of "Black Ops" (one look at book's jacket gives good clues as to what's inside). I'm sure Nutter had fun researching and writing the book, and you may find it fun to read; I did, despite myself. And there's the rub--it's easy for those attempting to show how "Black Ops" substitute for coherent foreign policy to succumb to their dramatic veneer and avoid a real and necessary scholarly contribution on the subject. Read the book, but think for yourself. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Ques: Title: Despite the potential, this one fails bitterly. Review: This book is hideous. Vast numbers of grammatic, editorial, factual, and programmatic errors poision the entire reading experience. Entire passages are utterly incomprehensible on the first reading. It's obvious the book has its origins as a sloppy newsgroup posting. With all the other high-quality Ada books available, save your money for something worthwhile. It's quite a shame, actually, because this topic and approach could help many C and C++ bigots to see the light, if the execution weren't so abysmally weak.

Ques: Title: Kindle Version Hard to Read Review: I love my Kindle and really enjoy the ease of downloading books. Even so, this book made me doubt the Kindle.In truth, it was not the fault of the Kindle, it had to do with whoever (or whatever) compiled this into the Kindle format. There are so many words run together that you have to slow down to decipher the individual words. Take a look at the sample (I should have). Words crammed together like MacCallisterwhen", "daybusiness", "constantlyon" "MacCallisterwas", and "settledby" can be found in the first four paragraphs of the PROLOGUE. It doesn't get better as the book progresses and you will also find words split like "often = of ten". I finally gave up and called Johnstone's offices to see if a better copy was available. They sympathized with the problem and let me know this format did not come from them and there was nothing they could do. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Ques: Title: Magnificiently Explosive Explorative Sound Tones Review: This is a defining moment for the guitar in the world of "experimental-avant garde" music. Thurston Moore (The Sonic Youth) w/ bombastic guitar driven explosions in close quarters with the percussive drilling of William Winant (played percussion for various composers and compositions by Zorn, Ferrari, Feldman...etc) and Tom Surgal (drummer for Rudolph Grey & The Blue Humans). Highly influenced by free and improvised jazz skronk and the freeform movements by such guitar luminaries as Ray Russell (recent reissue on Jim O'Rourke's Moikai) & Sonny Sharrock (played w/ Pharoah Sanders, Last Exit w/ Brotzmann, Laswell...) Great own for any avant-guitar-rock fan. Also equally worth checking out is the same trio on 'Lost In The City' (Intakt records) and Moore w/ Surgal on 'Klangfarbenmelodiee...and the colorist strikes primitiv' (on Dead C. honcho Bruce Russell's Corpus Hermiticum label).
