 Disappointing read October 9, 2008
I was let down on this book. I thought it would be more behind the scenes information on Reality TV shows, but instead it was much too much about the "psychology" of why we viewers watch Reality TV. I wanted more behind the scenes stuff, like how do they actually produce these shows like Survivor, Amazing Race etc. I already am a fan of reality TV and don't need to be preached to about "why" I watch.
 Tedious read September 28, 2008
I love hearing Mike Walker on Howard Stern, but leaving him write pages upon pages of his overblown dialogue is not only tedious...but downright annoying to read.

Like a lot of other reviewers here, I'm a Stern fan and bought this book on Howard's recommendation. I'm a pop culture junkie and was looking forward to getting the inside scoop on the reality genre, but the majority of the book was rehashed gossip items from the last several years. Also disappointing was the presence of many factual errors and misspellings, which made me wonder if Mike even showed this to an editor/fact checker.

I have not actually read the book yet, but am looking forward to it. A few members have been mentioning about the "Real World" mistake. Maybe he meant Road Rules or Real World/Road Rules Challenge. That's all that I can think of. I agree that this mistake should have been caught! Oh well.
If You've Followed Reality TV... May 27, 2008
If you have followed reality TV, this is a great book. I am also a big Howard Stern Fan and a Mike Walker fan so I loved this book. It's a quick read, but lots of interesting things and behind the scenes on reality TV both the good and the bad. A nice gift for someone who is a fan as well.
