Pål Hernes Fiva's Most Popular Reviews
Interesting but only intermittently useful. Most of the scenarios they set up are not truly real life solutions (or indeed problems).
As a journalist's take on current event: compelling, informative and thought provoking. As philosophical/political treatise: simplistic and naïve, i.e. the almost randomly quoting figures from history (Napoleon etc) which simply beggars belief, and the comparisons between a court case and various battles through history seem pretentious in the extreme.
“I always thought clichés got a bum rap. Because, often, they're dead-on. But the aptness of the clichéd saying is overshadowed by the nature of the saying as a cliché.”
Boring. Flat language and characters. Repetitious. Contrived. Generic.
