Instruct: Classify Amazon reviews into positive or negative sentiment
Query: Surely there's more

I have to agree with the less flattering reviews. A well thought out search of some newsgroup and mailing list archives would yield pretty much the same or comparable results. Not that this book is wihtout value - it just would make more sense as an inexpensive paperback to read as a collection of anecdotes while on smoke breaks or something. Sadder still, I've seen enough Linus interviews, public speaking engagements, etc to believe he is a charming and genuinely interesting character, easily capable of populating 6 or 700 pages of a "Memoirs so far..." sort of thing with worthwhile reading.
