[ 4.0 stars ] "Ever wonder why you are so bugged by other people's cellphone calls but not by the people's conversation at the next table? This book is full of insight about that kind of stuff. Easy read - entertaining, informative. ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 1.0 stars ] "Three criteria for something being annoying, according to the book, are that it's unpleasant, unpredictable and temporary. By those guidelines, I suppose I shouldn't classify the book as annoying, because after a couple chapters I realized its superficiality and randomness were all too predictable.

[ 2.0 stars ] "I'm not sure how scientifically accurate this book is, but I'd like to know. I liked how much of a starting point this book was in prompting my own research on a variety of different topics, but the annoyances featured most prominently were, well, annoying. I'm not interested in trivial annoying sounds and annoying smells. I'm interested in deeper interpersonal annoyances, for i ..." Courtesy by Amazon
