4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good, BUT, April 23, 2008

This review is from: Get Real!: The Untold Story: Sexy, Scary, Scandalous World of Reality TV! (Paperback)
I am a huge fan of reality television and also a huge fan of Howard Stern. I bought the book directly as a result from hearing Mike plug the book on the Stern show. I thought it was a great book. I read it in 2 sittings and had trouble putting it down. This would be a five star review, BUT it gets a star reduced from the score because early in the book Mike explains that on MTV's The Real World people get voted off and the last person standing wins.........HUH??? Is there a different Real World on MTV that I have never seen? That's just inexcusable for somebody writing a tell-all book on reality television. How did this misinformation get by his editors also? Shame, shame Mike. It's a great read, but I couldn't get this huge mistake out of my head while reading the rest of the book. How can we trust that Mike's other facts are correct when this one is blatantly WRONG. So I give it 4 stars.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing read, October 9, 2008
By 
M. Fisher "Biography Reader" (Las Vegas, Nevada United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Get Real!: The Untold Story: Sexy, Scary, Scandalous World of Reality TV! (Paperback)
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as Juicy as I Thought, October 15, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Get Real!: The Untold Story: Sexy, Scary, Scandalous World of Reality TV! (Paperback)
This book was just an okay read. The author kind of has this annoying running dialogue regarding Jennifer Aniston that was not entertaining. There was not a whole lot of "insight" either.
