Ques:Title: racist Review: I picked this one up for a long train journey last week. Got half way trough it and probably would have finished it despite the predictable, boring schoolboy plot. However what really put me off the book and the author were the racist views he expresses through his (white) african heros. It didn't surprise me to learn subsequently that smith is a South African who supported the Apartheid regime there. Is the review positive or negative?

Ques:Title: Genesis SACD/DVD 1983-1998 Box Set Review: Awesome box set, amazing quality. Leave it to a band like Genesis to leave everyone else in the dust when it comes to quality and precision. The format itself is a great way to enjoy music and learn the subtleties on the recordings. Is the review positive or negative?

Ans:Positive

Ques:Title: Overall Disappointment Review: We are music collectors. We enjoy classical, jazz, new age, soundscape-type music, jazz-fusion etc. We found the combination of songs on this CD to be an inharmonious blend. The song "Any Other Name" is a beautiful composition by Thomas Newman--consistent with his outstanding body of work. There are perhaps a couple of other tracks that were okay depending on your mood. Otherwise, we are extremely disappointed that we could have purchased 3 or 4 other quality CDs in terms of theme and musical motif--more in keeping with what was expected based on the single representative song (Thomas Newman), instead of this one. The cost for this one CD exceeded the aforementioned (3 - 4 CDs). The cover of the CD is evocative of peace and serenity, but upon listening, only a couple of songs reflect the relaxing scenario the cover suggests. In closing, be wary of specious first impressions. Is the review positive or negative?

Ques:Title: The Best Children's CD Review: It took me a week to play more than the alligator song as my daughter asked for it to be played again, and again, and again. I'm not sure who sings the songs more, my children or my wife and I. Enjoyable, educational, great music, lyrics and a must have. I buy this CD as a baby gift for all my friends who politely smile when they get. I always get a return message about 3 months later that goes, "Remember that CD you got me. My kid loves it and I love it." Is the review positive or negative?
