Instruct: Classify Amazon reviews into positive or negative sentiment
Query: Worth the effort but . . .

I'm not going to bother you with yet another boring review, there's tons of them here. BUT, you should know a couple of things:1. Though it's true Dan Brown can write, the average mystery reader can figure out what will happen to the four kidnapped cardinals without straining their brains. The hulking villian is so evil it is almost laughable. The heroine is predictable heroic, the hero is noble and has flaws which makes him totally "pc".2. ON THE OTHER HAND, BUT, HOWEVER the book is still worth the price of admission due to some unexepected plot twists, an amazing quirky turn, and an ending that was breath-taking. Like I said, the guy can write. So, Dan, why don't 'cha write great through the whole darn book?
