Review title: This book was of no help Product review: I bought this book hoping it would be of help to us with our recent move to a rural area. It shows you that you shouldn't buy books based upon the title. This book was of no help to us as I found it poorly written and far too general to be of any use. Don't waste your money on this book is my advise.

Review title: Total BS Product review: I have a friend who has been on this diet for 3 weeks and it's not doing a thing for her. She's read to me from the book and I can't believe the hoops these guys have people jumping thru. I think they're a couple of quacks.

Ques: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: one of those user un-friendly books. Product review: This is one of those reader unfriendly books. For example, the book only gives a small segment of the code. The author then indicates in many occasions that this code segment is from xxx.c but does not say where the xxx.c is. In some occasions, the author says "this segment of code is from xxx.c (available from the website)" but does not spit out which website. I found in one occasion (p489) the author finally says this code segment is from fixed.c (found on this book's accompanying Web site) but still does not spit out the Web address. I eventually found the web address at the very back of the book. The author certainly knows how to torture the readers who paid $40 for that book!
