Teacher: In this task, you are given books product reviews in French 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.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
Du tres grand Ludlum . Tres grand amateur de Robert Ludlum, les veilleurs de l apocalypse est a mon avis l'un de ses meilleurs livres. En effet, Ludlum revisite la theorie historique des "Sonnenkinder", des enfants allemands concus pour la plupart durant la seconde guerre mondiale dans le but de les disseminer dans le monde entier a des postes de responsabilites, bref de former un reseau capable de prendre le pouvoir a tout instant. Mais la verite decouverte par le heros est beaucoup plus traumatisante. Meme si le debut du livre est un peu poussif, la suite est du tres grand Ludlum et l'action est menee tambour battant jusqu'a la conclusion finale qui laisse le lecteur sans voix. Un tres tres bon livre, ideal pour commencer la serie Ludlum.
Solution: POS
Reason: The overall sentiment of the review is positive as the reviewer refers to the book with positive expressions such as 'tres grand', 'tres tres bon' etc. Hence, the label is 'POS'.

Now, solve this instance: Historically Notable But A Stale Read Today . One of the problems with reading revolutionary books long after their initial publication is that they often don't seem so, well... revolutionary. Such is the case with Celine's semi-autobiographical masterpiece-a 440 page behemoth that despite lively scenes here and there is very often tedious and boring. I gather that much of the controversy around it at the time was with regards to its use of "naturalistic" and "vulgar" language and slang (perhaps akin to the love/hate critical reaction to Scottish authors like James Kelman and Irvine Welsh in the late part of the century). While it may have represented a profound stick in the eye of literary conventions back in 1932, it certainly hasn't retained any capacity to shock or surprise in that regard. If you're a fan of the dark side of 20th century popular literature as represented by those such as Henry Miller, Bukowski, Kerouac, Burroughs, Vonnegut, Joseph Heller, et al (notice that you'll find no women on this list), you find it an interesting read just to see where they got some of their sensibilities, but otherwise it gets old fast.
