Instruct: Classify Amazon reviews into positive or negative sentiment
Query: Painful

I can only wish the last two reviews had been up at the time I bought this book. While I admire the fortitude it took to accomplish the circumnavigation, I can only wonder why he did it. Hardly a moment goes by when the author isn't criticizing. Whether it's cultures he encounters, Canadian health care, his crew, the good doctor leaves no stone unturned in his quest to be the least sensitive captain afloat. There is no insight into the meaning of his experience, no lyricism in his "prose," simply little for which one reads a travelogue.
