Detailed Instructions: 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.
See one example below:
Problem: 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
Solution: POS
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: Disappointing and Overly Optimistic . Well, I'd love to read a good book by that title and one might even copy the blurb texts and the table of contets of Woodhouse's book - all its weaknesses are in the fine print, so to say. The paradigm wars the title refers to are meant to take place between "traditional" (mechanistic, etc.) science and "new age" (holistic, etc.) world views, which present levels of complexity not available to the traditional approaches. No doubt such a war takes place presently... (1) It's an obvious problem that the "new" paradigm is conceptualized as being open and unfinished - together with the author's desire to appropriate all nice and interesting recent scientific developments for his side, one may at times wonder what the "new paradigm" is and what limits it necessarily must have. (2) Woodhouse limits is attention more or less to academic debate - but that's not primarily where the wars are being fought. (Does he think it really matters? The climate in academic institutions may depend on quite a number of factors beside rational arguments...) The bullets fly right in our everyday life situatios - when we see our physician and argue about a treatment (which may or may not be paid by health insurance depending on the influence that "traditional scientists" (aka drug manufacturers and their lackeys) have on the insurance firm). It also takes place in firms striving for enhanced effectiveness in the form of the question "will it be possible to make our employees work harder - or should we consider something new altogether?". And it takes many more forms one does not even find mentioned in this book. (3) On the fronts of these wars I know, the situation looks rather bleak for new approaches. traditional doctrines are well entrenched and have lots of powerful allies - economic shorttermism advocating "tried and true" measures, traditional health providers, genetic engineering firms, religious institutions producing cult scares from time to time, etc. If you advocate divergent paradigms, you need a lot of patience - and you're also faced with some serious problems Woodhouse does not mention. Let me point here only to the fact that while publicly recognized "sciences" have something like a memory in terms of libraries and institutional continuity, "new age thought" all to often starts all over again, repeats its standard arguments and, in sum, doesn't get anywhere for lack of such a continuity, for lack of references one could build on. Altogether, I'm sorry for the money and for the time I spent on this book. Still, someone should write a better one... - it's a worthy project, just a faulty implementation
Solution:
NEG
