You are considering whether to buy a product. You look at the reviews. Would the following review decrease or increase the chances of you buying the product? Review title: A good but tedious book on the Peace Conference of 1919 Product review: This book is about the Paris 1919 Peace Conference following the end of World War I. It is nicely organized and focuses on all aspects of the negotiations. The book is fairly long, due to the high amount of detail that was included. The research the author did was amazing and she included a great deal of information in her book. This is good and bad because I found the book to be tedious to read after awhile. About halfway through I got bored of the book.This is by no means light reading so I only recommend it to people who are genuinely interested in this topic. Otherwise you will probably be a little bored and find this book somewhat difficult to wade through.

Review title: Struggled to finish Product review: I've read quite a few Culture books but this one was really hard to finish and I've had to skim through many pages as they were the "blah, blah, blah" kind of style. The flashbacks really killed the story for me. It was quite difficult to follow it with so many interruptions. I would finish a chapter and dread the inevitable flashback that was so hard to digest! I've read the reviews about the "surprising" ending. Maybe I missed something but the ending meant nothing to me and it didn't really have any significance on the main story. Anyway, even if I ignore everything I've mentioned so far, the story is quite weak and too much like a Hollywood blockbuster movie. The only thing missing is a car chase on a busy highway where the main character escapes from a horrific crash... wait, it does have that!
