CNN & LSTM for multi-class review classification

Follow the full discussion on Reddit.
I'm new to NLP however, I have a couple of years of experience in computer vision. I have to test the performance of LSTM and vanilla RNNs on review classification (13 classes). I've tried multiple tutorials however they are outdated and I find it very difficult to manage all the libraries and versions in order to run them, since most of them are 3-4 years old onwards. Are you familiar with any 'newer' tutorials on this topic that you would suggest I use? Thanks!
