The best book reviews are those that slaughter an otherwise sacred cow. For this you often you have to turn to alternative news sources, like I did for this evisceration of The World is Flat, by Thomas Friedman.
Money quote:
Friedman is such a genius of literary incompetence that even his most innocent passages invite feature-length essays....
I stomped off, went through security, bought a Cinnabon, and glumly sat at the back of the B line, waiting to be herded on board so that I could hunt for space in the overhead bins.
Forget the Cinnabon; name me a herd animal that hunts. Name me one.
