Q: Title: Standing the test of time Review: I read "The Women's Room" shortly after its publication in 1977. I reread it last month for my bookclub. I recall that my first reading was at least satisfactory. Rereading the book has not been as satisfying an experience. French wrote a polemic that would have best been written as an essay, or, if she insisted on a novel, have been better edited from the almost 700 pages to 300. It is interesting to read as an historic artifact, but great literature it is not. Is this product review negative?

A: Yes

Q: Title: Poor design and clumsy Review: I was excited to purchase this since the concept seemed great. But when I actually tried using it, I noticed that the heating element didn't shut off when the water was gone, and even after running through a couple of cycles to clean it out good, my coffee still tasted like plastic. It's hard to see the markings in the water reservoir when you are filling it, and I found the carafe lid to be clumsy. The last few ounces in the pot were very difficult to pour. I did like that the carafe was glass-lined, but alas, by the time the coffee got to the pot, it already tasted like plastic.Also, it was annoying that to start brewing you always have to depress the brew button twice (where once puts you into automatic brew mode). Is this product review negative?

A: Yes


Q: Title: peeling even with great care Review: we have been super careful and only used rubber heat-proof utensils and this pan's surface is just coming off in little pock marks. I had a Calphalon that did the same and hoped this one would be better. It's exactly the same. Disappointed and now going to look into the guarantee. The Calphalon also had a life-time guarantee, but you had to pay over $25 to certify ship back to them to replace. Is this product review negative?
