 Why you should NOT buy this book... July 12, 2004
23 out of 25 found this review helpful
I give credit for the catchy title! But I seriously have issues with neighbors and this book does nothing to help solve those issues. You will get a fluff of stories upon stories about how others have it bad. Then the solution for noisy neighbors will be to buy a set of earplugs and turn up your tv. I couldn't believe the book recommended that if the noise from neighbors comes from a teenager/college kid holding a house party -- to pay that kid to not have parties there. That's promoting extorsion and it's bribery. Do you really think once you start paying a kid not to have parties at his house, he/she won't ask for more money?! This book is STUPID, STUPID, STUPID unless you just love reading about how others have it more worst off -- like the senior citizen who kills his neighbors because they wouldn't allow him to have any nights rest with all the noise they made.

but I had to do something, my neighbors are so noisy... This book was really interesting and covered many problem areas, and there were stories about people with neighbor problems that sounded worse than mine! The focus was both on the problems and solutions, and many of the solutions were very good and also creative. I would highly recommend this book for anyone with neighbors.
