You don't need permission if you're being critical.
So all you have to do is take a copy of it, and then as you're working through
it, criticize the lack of clarity and add the lacking clarity.
Perfectly legal under copyright law :)
Good luck with avoiding a lawsuit if you try that...
Several points to bear in mind
1) per Berne, the mere act of creation puts a "literary" work under
copyright.
2) "fair use" and similar are Americanisms - there's no such concept
under UK law although other jurisdictions do have something similar.
3) What you're doing is creating a "derived work", for which permission
IS required. I think you're confusing "criticism" and "critique" - the
point of a critique is it doesn't contain much, if any, of the work it's
critiquing.
