Instruct: Classify Amazon reviews into positive or negative sentiment
Query: Ok for demonstrating functionality, but not learning

I used this book in two classes this fall. While the illustrations are nice, it was a little too simplistic. Not enough emphasis on concepts and applicability. Also, shows program as deceptively easy for success with all data on the CD's provided and compatible. Not exactly how things work in real-life. Basically, a walk-through, follow-the leader exercise book.
