Question: Title: Too clever by half Review: Please see review by C. Mialaret. S/he is spot on.One gets the impression that the author may have been more focused on impressing you with his eruditeness, rather than writing a practical book with useful examples and clear explanations.Affecianados of Kalen Delaney's 'Inside SQL Server 2000' will be disappointed. Is the review positive or negative?

Question: Title: Beginning of the best Review: This is the first book in a series that replaced Song of Ice and Fire as my favorite fantasy series. It is full of original aspects, but could be compared to Glenn Cook's "Black Company," except much more fully realized, satisfying and better executed.Book 1, Gardens of the Moon, is not likely to be the best book you have ever read. It is good, but merely an introduction to the greater whole, which for me, is the most reliable reading experience I have had to date. Erikson delivers. Is the review positive or negative?
Answer: Positive

Question: Title: Could barely make it to the end Review: I thought the book started well. It kept my interest for a while but I found myself plodding through to get to the finish line. At some point it just got boring and though I did stick with it... I was disappointed in the ending.I thought the author was quite pretentious with his vocabulary. Why not just say what you mean instead of trying to use as many obscure outdated words? I found it tiring to read and would not recommend it. Is the review positive or negative?
