Q: Title: Disappointing tapes Review: This is a four CD set of tapes recorded at various locations over four decades, the 1940s through 70s. It's recommended only for the most ardent Stan Kenton fans, people who have to own everything available. The sound is poor on every CD and the quality of the selections varies considerably, from a slightly stumbling sight-read number, to a colorless "Finlandia," to a rocking "Aquarius," to an inspired and beautiful "Moorea."The packaging is admirable and the intentions of the producers were noble. But this is a collection that on the whole does not display the Kenton band at its best and does not offer much in the way of moving music. Is this product review negative?
A: Yes

Q: Title: Cruel fool or a liar? Review: I've read a lot of good reviews about this book here--positive, negative, and in-between. But for me, it boils down to this:In the first chapter, Rodriguez tells a story that, if it really happened, and if it happened to a friend whom she describes in such detail in the book that, if such friend exists, she would be easily identified and this chapter would surely lead to *terrible* problems for this friend. As an aside, it is told in such a way as to make Debbie sound like the Rational Save-The-Day American trying to help these poor, ignorant Afghans. Ick.So one of two things is going on here. Either:a) Rodriguez just spilled a very intimate secret that no one ever has any business knowing, and that will place her friend in terrible danger;orb) She made it up, in which case this book is a work of fiction, *not* a the true-story memoir that it claims to be.So which is it Deborah Rodriguez? Are you a cruel fool, or a liar? Either way, pretty despicable. Is this product review negative?
A: Yes

Q: Title: What can I say? Review: I heard such great things about this book, so I decided to check it out. A quarter of the way through the book, I realized I was still waiting to get into it. It was not boring, but it sure was not exciting. But, what can I say, I finished it! Is this product review negative?
A: Yes
