Good book. Clear explanations and non-descriptive.

As I mentioned in one of my updates: it's not so much that most information is already known, it's just that anyone interested/thinking about interviews can think up most of the information when thinkink a little bit about the practice.

It was also pretty dense with a lot of 'information' per sentence, especially in regards to different traditions/histories. I did think that was a good feature: the traditions and associated thinkers who have influenced interview practices either directly or indirectly. The information itself was also largely sufficient and cohesive. I am however very happy that I've finally finished this.

Fantastisk guide til det kvalitative forskningsinterview. Den kommer rundt om rigtig mange ting, både hvad man skal huske, og hvilke fælder der er lette at falde i.
Det er en stor bog, og den kan virke en smule u-overskuelig at komme igennem. Det er da også en smule tung læsning en gang i mellem, men det er det hele værd, da der er meget at lære fra denne bog, og der er mange ting, man kan tage med sig videre, - ikke bare i professionel sammenhæng, men også privat. Og så letter det læsningen lidt, at små, sjove anekdoter har fået lov at komme med her og der.

Drier than dry, but informative, I suppose.

Dry but informative text on the art of qualitative research interviewing.

[Natasia Angel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read it for a PhD course. It's one of the more interesting textbooks I have ever read. The book gives interesting perspective on interview as a research study. But do not expect it to be like most textbooks on interview like Yin. Overall, can be useful, but depends on what you need to know.

[Aygul A. Baghirova · Rating 4 out of 5]

I absolutely loved it and would definitely recommend it to fellow qualitative researchers. It really helps in understanding the true essence of conducting interviews. What I enjoyed most was its pro-human approach, and the way the language flows is just perfect.
