The authors "are gloriously deft in their rebuttal of some of the more egregious cases of media-fuelled herd idiocy", The Observer
"There is a marked lack of hype and hogwash ..... and (the authors) analyse, with scrupulous attention to detail, which fears are grounded, and which are in fact a load of cobblers", Harper's Bazaar
"The book is upbeat and reassuring in tone", Scotland on Sunday
The book "is both useful and funny. Sometimes indignant, sometimes downright scornful, and repeatedly dismissive of silly press headlines about this or that threat to humanity", The Spectator
"Au contraire, say the incrementally annoying Briscoe and Aldersey-Williams", London Review of Books
"Panicology is a useful book to consult before going to a dinner party as it will offer you all sorts of conversational titbits to dispense", The Sunday Telegraph
