"We all get into our own unique patterns of thinking, and sometimes we need a jolt to bring us back to our senses. This is what this short book does. John writes with razor sharp wit and brilliant observational humour/detail. Whilst the subject matter is most definitely serious, in places the book is laugh-out-loud funny. The chapter on World Trade Center 7 is a short piece of literary brilliance. I read this in two evenings and it was a great book to get me really thinking again. Would highly recommend."

"Stop Me If I Say Something Crazy is a razor-sharp work of nonfiction that tackles disinformation, dissent, and the murky politics of our post-truth era. With clarity, courage, and dry humor, Schoneboom explores how public narratives are weaponized, dissent is sidelined, and debate is replaced by dogma. Drawing from real-world controversies, he offers a practical framework for evaluating truth claims without falling into conspiracy or complacency. Whether you're a skeptic, a scholar, or simply someone struggling to keep your footing in the info wars, this is a vital, articulate companion for the age of confusion."

"Stop Me If I Say Something Crazy is about methodology. Schoneboom questions how truth is determined and points out that the demonization of dissent is neither democratic nor scientific, often masking the truth. It degenerates into a clash between science and politics. Has science become the victim of spin, used to justify political decisions? The danger is that ultimately what passes as truth becomes groupthink, with creeping authoritarianism and censorship to hold it in place. This concise and hard-hitting work will come as a wake-up call that goes far beyond exploring controversial events. It is a deep look into what we choose to believe and the agendas at play."

"This is a small book with a big impact thanks to its precise, provocative, and necessary approach. The candid prose reads like the honest conversation we all need right now, but the lessons are delivered as if by the warm words of a dear, wise friend, offering us a guide through the fog of modern information warfare that never talks down to readers, but always makes sure concepts are fully explained. Overall, Stop Me If I Say Something Crazy is an unflinching, fair-minded, and deeply empowering read that I would encourage everyone to engage with and learn from, and I highly recommend it."

"I found this book to be a very captivating and brain-storming read. John Schoneboom's approach to analyzing democratic and scientific processes, instead of jumping to conclusions, was thoughtful. I loved how he talked about every case competently, showing the contrast between the quality of dissenting arguments and their reputation in the public's eye. The author's emphasis on the importance of critical thinking, open-mindedness, and the free exchange of ideas is very relevant in our world today, especially when different views can be easily labeled as conspiracy theories or disinformation. The writing style is appealing and well-researched. This book shows that people can critically look at the processes behind some controversial topics instead of simply taking sides. I recommend Stop Me If I Say Something Crazy to people who want to learn about how different views and ideas are managed in today's world."
