Question: outdated . Positioning makes a few basic points that are helpful for someone who is not familiar with marketing basics.  However, the examples are so outdated that some now disprove the authors' arguments.  The more detailed chapters make less sense in an electronic culture.  This book is really only useful now for those broad, basic ideas in the first chapters

Answer: NEG


Question: The one book I was told to read and actually did...... . And wasn't it awful. Slow, nonsensical, not to mention boring....    Basically, it's about a poor guy who finds a black pearl. And then bad stuff happens. That is all the book is about. No sub-plot, no nothing. To be honest, the best bit was when the main character's baby gets shot and dies.    The book (about 70 pages long, to be honest I can't remember. I don't want to remember) is really slow to start with, and stays that way until the last 10 pages where a million things happen at once. It is way too descriptive, and nothing remotely interesting happens. And then it just ends. It was really empty.    I have read other "Classics" such as War of the Worlds, Animal Farm, Lord Of The Flies, etc, all of which had more substance and staying power than this.

Answer: NEG


Question: &quot;New Age&quot; Soap Opera . How anyone can believe that there is a power to help people live a long life  goes beyond my comprehension. This is what Estes claims in this book. What about those who live short lives?  The whole book is geared at American middle-class readers who in general, even though    they have college-education, are very naive. The language is that of the fairy-tale, or close to it,   which suits a tv-fed and tv-indoctrinated people. Estes says that pain will clarify everything.   I pained myself through her book and nothing was clarified

Answer:
NEG
