Negative Positive
Title: Unpleasantly suprised by bait-and-switch
Review: The package says, "this comprehensive book/compact disc program will help you develop total fluency", implying that this is a complete course in the Japanese language. However when I opened the package, I saw the book inside is titled "Beginning Japanese Part 1" Further review revealed that there is a Beginning Japanese Part 2 book you need to purchase separately. However, Barrons (the publisher) doesn't make a book/CD package available that incorporates the Beginning Japanese Part 2 book, much less anything beyond Beginning level such as Intermediate or Advanced. The package is taped shut so you can't examine it in the bookstore, and it doesn't give detailed list of the contents or any indication that this is just a Beginning Japanese Part 1 course. You purchase the product for quite a lot of money, only to get it home and discover you're getting only part what you thought you paid for.
Is the review positive or negative?
