"If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing." Kingsley Amis

Also, if you can't shock the reader, either in a positive or negative way, why writing at all? Belief, certainties, assumptions, should be shaken and make readers questions themselves, 'wow, what would I've done in a similar situation'.

I love when I received those reviews, and I don't care whether it is a one-star because the reader couldn't stand the provocation, or a 5-star because the reader discovered something she didn't know about herself.

So true! This is pure gold (apologies for the cliche) but we should set out to annoy those who we most hope to get through to perhaps. I hope I annoy all those who like to kill dolphins and whales.

Those ones needs to be stopped more than annoyed; but annoyed is a good start.
