Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Weak In Contrast to "Ray of Light" Review: This one's a loser. It won't satisfy her old fans and is a major disappointment to fans (like me) of her "Ray of Light" effort. The songs with her new French producer are over-processed, uninvolving and passionless (how many of those are real words?). Answer:
Negative

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Great Product from Tivo Review: I would definately recommend this product to anyone with a Tivo set who wants to use their broadband instead of a phone line to update Tivo. It was very easy to install. Took me about 10 minutes and I was up and running. I've had it for a couple of months now and never had any problems. It always stays connected. Answer:
Positive

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Rather weak and predictable Review: I am not a big Jan Michael Friedman fan and this book is an example of why. First of all, the story was completely predictable without a single surprise, not one. But there is a deeper problem, and that derives from some of Friedman's writing mannerisms. He uses adjectives and pronouns in a cloying, irritating way, to wit: The upperclassman (meaning Kirk) and his companion (meaning Gary Mitchell) did this or that, and Kirk's friend (meaning Mitchell) alerted his comrade (meaning Kirk) etc. etc. I did not know quite how to characterize this writing style, except to say that I found it to be annoying and distracting from the story. And candidly, there is not much of a story here, or in Friedman's other books about Kirk and Mitchell.I know that Friedman has a following, and that's fine. But I did not enjoy this book and I generally do not enjoy Friedman's writing, although I tried to. Answer:
Negative

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Pretty Good - but dryly written, almost like a diary Review: As other reviews stated, the book is very thorough and gives extremely good insight to the early stones. It especially describes the many contributions of Brian Jones which are not usually talked about or even known by many. The early history is quite fascinating. Although I do recommend the book I have a few problems with the book that greatly dimish its reading pleasure 1) It only covers from 1963 to 1969 (so we don't know what happened in the 70s and 80s) 2) Wyman constantly discusses the woman he has "had", this gets old pretty quickly 3) It is at times very dry reading, often it is just a bunch of facts listed in chronological order from his diary But overall this book is chuck-full of information that only an insider would know and can describe. This is really the basis that I recommend the book. I did read it quickly (in a few sittings) which is very rare for me. Answer:
