Negative Positive
Title: Poorly written, poorly organized, and incomplete.
Review: I was quite disappointed with _Database Systems_. I had expected a clear, concisely written encyclopedia of all things relational. What I got was a poorly (and ambiguously) written tome that is rife with Britishisms (who the hell calls rows 'tuples' and tables 'relations' anymore???), that is missing a fair amount of critical information, and that commits the cardinal sin of a reference book -- it is BADLY INDEXED.For 61 bills you could do a lot better elsewhere.
Is the review positive or negative?
