TASK DEFINITION: Given reviews from Amazon, classify those review based on their content into two classes: Negative or Positive.
PROBLEM: This is one of those books that I like the *idea* of, but not so much the execution. It's gotten to the point where if a book has the word "spooky" (or a variation) on the cover, I'm just going to assume it's not. The idea - offering ideas for six themed parties - would make for an excellent book if they were all actually Halloween-themed. Sadly, even the Halloween-specific party suggestions fall a little flat.

SOLUTION: Negative

PROBLEM: Reasons not to buy this video:1. She reads from cue cards the entire time.2. She's extremely stiff and boring.I have only watched this video once in the two years that I have owned it.

SOLUTION: Negative

PROBLEM: This book is a highly cereberal study of history. I you want a lot of action look somewhere else. (I suggest David Drake or S.M. Sterling) If you want something to ponder this is the book. Asimov's ideas have been borrowed by other works so some of it will not seem new. The science is somewhat dated (nucleur light bulbs and economical transmutation). This book does give an excellent veiw of the forces of history. If you want to understand what causes nations to fall read this book. Just don't expect Star Wars style entertaiment.

SOLUTION:
Positive
