Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Probably not for the new student Review: This is a great book, but I'd recommend the "Teach Yourself Beginner's Hindi" and "Beginners Hindi Script" by the same author prior to starting this course. It throws the student straight in the deep end with conversation and beyond the first few chapters all the Hindi is written in the Devanagari script, which means you need to know it first before you can progress. The CDs are helpful with pronunciation, particularly with the retroflex consonants, which are a challenge to the English speaker! Answer:
Positive

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Neither funny nor particularly poignant Review: Maybe it's me, but I did not like this book at all. Perhaps I've read too many Oprah books, have grown cynical of "coming of age" semi-autobiographical stories or have just become tired of "poor, pitiful me" books. This book is similar in tone and style to Caucasia by Danzy Senna and Falling Leaves, which tell of difficult childhood and teenage years, but is not as good as either of them. I found it difficult to read. The author seemed to only scratch the surface of some of the real issues and characters/people in her life. For example, it was very hard to get any sort of mental picture of Lonnie. Without that, it was hard to get into the book. Or any real understanding of her parents. Finally, I found most of the "vignettes" neither particularly funny nor moving. Answer:
Negative
