Negative Positive
Title: don't buy this
Review: I had come accross this title before and was surprised to see that it was available from Amazon as a digital download. The description said it was a "brief article" from "Canadian Chemical News." I assumed it was a 3-5 page review article with a few references and probably had some information I didn't already know. I was wrong.First, brief article is an understatement; it is 690 words - one page. Second, there was nothing in there that I didn't already know; it is very basic information that you can get for free from Wikipedia. In fact I fairly certain that the Wikipedia entry is longer with more detail.I do not blame the author; he contributed this to CCN. He is an academic and would certainly have provided a copy to me for free if I had contacted him. Amazon has a lot of nerve to charge $5.95 for this. It should be under a dollar if not free. I'm unlikely to buy another "brief article" from Amazon again.
Is the review positive or negative?
