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

This book has the flavor of a grade school textbook. It's very frivolous, and in fact, while I was reading it, I developed quite an aversion for discrete math. I thought of it as a pointless subject.But luckily, I later discovered that set theory and graph theory are quite interesting, to say nothing of boolean algebra and state machines. So I'd conclude that this book was at fault. It presents the topics in a dry and uninspired manner, enough to turn anyone off. What's unfortunate is that instructors (who don't think about students when evaluating books) adore it's neat little layout, which does nothing to promote learning.This book is corny and not rigorous at all. A very kindergraten level approach.
