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.
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
Example solution: POS
Example explanation: 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'.

Problem: Not hippy new age philosophy taoism . For good and ill, I am one of the hippy westerners the book talks about. The little I know of Taoism I know from a conversation with a friend and reading The Tao of Pooh. I bought this book while trying to learn more. The book is very up front about contradicting the seemingly widely held (western) view that Taoism is largely about attitude and how you live life. This book is not about philosophy. The book is concrete how-to advice about practicing Taoism in a traditional manner. Different sections explain how to make your own altar and wand to use in rituals, why taoists should never participate in felatio, and introduce a whole pantheon of dieties to worship. It would also make a much better source for a school report about a religion than a philosophy text would. In general, I found the book interesting but not what I needed. From the start, I was turned off by the tone of the book. The introduction takes the attitude that new agers are messing up Taoism and people interested in it as a philosophy should get lost. It makes some pretty broad declaratory statements about how all Taoists live their lives, and tries very hard to push a "one right way" to being a Taoist. The book could easily be completely right, and I'm not an expert to say it isn't, but either it wasn't what I was looking for or Taoism isn't what I am looking for
Solution: NEG
