Title: More schlock Review: Spring's work could only be described as annoying. While his technique is excellent, he had sadly forgotten to put any depth into his expression and musicality. Let's call him the "Twinkie" clarinettist. Dedicated to show, ego, and cheapness. And the band accompaniment? Dear God. Save us. Is the review positive or negative?

Negative

Title: A Good Jance Read Review: I have read all of Jance's Arizona novels but only a few of the Seattle ones. I like Beaumont. A key component of this novel is information retrieved through hypnotism. I am a little skeptical of what can be accomplished that way. Otherwise there are a lot of interesting characters and a couple of stroy threads. A good read! Is the review positive or negative?
**Answer**
Positive

Title: Cheap but Expensive Review: This item looks very cheap but was costly. This is not my money's worth. The color on the hood is wrong to top it off. I would not recommend this to anyone. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: clumsy, uneven book Review: I don't think this book deserves only one star, but I wanted to do my bit to lower the rating. I am amazed at the hyperbolic praise given to this book. Perhaps there aren't many novels that go into the minutae of conservative Jewish life, I don't know. But what I DO know is that some of the prose in this book is as stilted as a 7th grader's essay. Other passages are nicely wrought. But the emotional life seems once-removed and meager. About halfway through the book I started skimming, to hit the highlights. I was engaged by the small bit of plot, yes, but it didn't deserve the number of words she uses to move it forward. Is the review positive or negative?
