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.

Let me give you an example: Hopeful for those who seek harmony in the world . I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who thinks that religious wars, repression of individual spirits or rape of the earth are good things. Those who seek peace, harmony, celebration of each of us and respect for our earth will find this hopeful
The answer to this example can be: POS
Here is why: The overall sentiment of the review is positive as the reviewer mentions positive expressions such as 'hopeful', 'will find this helpful' etc.. Hence, the label is 'POS'.

OK. solve this:
I Don't get.... . why prior books that are far better researched have the lifespan of milk, while Goldberg who's story is surely contrived, gets five star reviews. Seems like working at The New Yorker and Washington Post trumps... Danny Rubenstein's "The People of Nowhere" Amira Hass' "Drinking the Sea at Gaza" and Wendy Orange' "Coming Home to Jerusalem" ...and many others who were deeply engaged journalists drop off the book list. Surely these now out of print books covered the same turf but none are connected to Goldberg's. WHY? Is it all about connections and pr? I think yes. What do you think?
Answer:
NEG
