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.
One example is below.
Q: 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
A: POS
Rationale: 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'.
Q: Who to blame? . The major strength of this book is that it goes right to the heart of the debate on social welfare policy. Who is to blame? Is it the person or is it their circumstances? Normally hysterics on both extremes of the political spectrum try to place all the blame either on society or on the person. This book makes a run at splitting the difference. Frankly, I found this book better informed than the famous Nickel and Dimed. The truth is that poverty is a tough problem to solve, and many of the best minds on the left and the right have failed us
A:
POS
