In this task, you are given books product reviews in English language. The goal is to classify the review as "POS" if the overall sentiment of the review is positive or as "NEG" if the overall sentiment of the review is negative.

For designers, directors and academics . This book, one of the few that takes a more academic, rather than practical, view of scenic design, should be required reading for any designer (lights and costumes as well as set) as well as every director. In his designer profiles Aronson shows the reader the different processes that can be utilized to achieve a successful design.  It is also one of the few books that gives the reader an opportunity to get deeper into the history of contemporary American design, as each designer is sure to mention his or her influences and teachers.  Far more useful then the practical books on design in helping a young designer conceptualize, collaborate and create interesting designs.  Unless you want to design in a vacuum, this book is a must rea

Smart, fun, and pleasingly cynical . I'm at home on bed rest and desperate for something good to read.  This book did the trick..  The narrator is smart, funny, and clearly aware that it is next to impossible to do much about most of the evil sleaziness of the world.  Certainly it is impossible to make changes in individual lives, one at a time.  (Or maybe I'm just jaded, too.  Some may call it maturity.)  Clearly, the narrator is the most decent character in a novel full of morally bankrupt people (from both sides of the tracks).  Ironically, his career is blindsided due to what others perceive to be questionable morals.   Anyway, join Max as he watches pathetic people with and without class, power, and agency screw up their lives even more than they already have, and help him make sense of it.  Great literature this ain't, but a smart, fun, cynical read it is

Detailed transformations of algorithms for optimal desighns . This is an excellent book, written by one of the authorities in the field. It offers detailed design techniques that will help the system designer explore the 3-dimension design space and achieve optimizations in all or  either of: area, time, energy consumption. The use of specific examples  illustrates the techniques, while complicated backround information is  well-organized in the Appendices. I used the book as a recommended text  book in my 1-semester "VLSI Signal Processing" graduate-level class and the  students really loved it. It covers all availble techniques, from the  simplest to the most advanced ones, with full explanation of the theory,  with complete and detailed implementation steps for a wide range of signal  processing algorithms.Since the book does not deal with the design at the  physical level, but with transformations of the processing algorithms so  that their VLSI implementations will satisfy certain criteria of  optimality, it is not absolutely mandatory that the reader has already  taken courses in VLSI design, although this could help appreciate the  benefits offered by the techniques detailed in the book. The exercises  found at the end of each chapter help the reader apply the learned  techniques in all kinds of applications. I am convinced that the  thoroughness and the high standards accomplished by the author in the  writing of this book will help establish it as the leading text or  reference book for several years to come
