Book Description

Publication Date: May 28, 2002

"Who didn't realize there were cameras in the bedrooms?

Who doesn't think they made real friends?

Who got drunk during casting?

Who hogged the phone?

Who didn't do the dishes?

IT'S EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW, BUT DIDN'T THINK TO ASK!"

"The Real World(TM) " blows into the Windy City for one of the most memorable seasons yet. Here's the who's who and what's what on the newest batch of seven strangers: Aneesa, Cara, Christopher, Keri, Kyle, Theo, and Tonya.

Get the skinny on: Keri and Kyle's unstoppable attraction, Cara's crushes, Aneesa's and Christopher's romances, Theo's partying, Tonya's long-distance love. Inside this book is the back story on the backstabbing, the secrets behind the stolen kisses. Find out who liked whom, who was just faking it, who turned on for the cameras, and who ran away.

NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN PICTURES TAKEN BY THE CAST AND CREW!

Bonus: Expanded Casting Section featuring cast applications and all there is to know about auditioning for "The Real World!" Find out what happened before the roommates stopped being polite and started getting real....

Alice Mayles (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MTV's Real World Chicago (Paperback)

The Real World Chicago is the best season yet and this book is the best book yet! I have watched every once since Hawaii and I was worried that the series was running out of ideas and good characters but there is no comparison.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Real World - Chicago, June 12, 2002

"b_potato" (Milwaukee, Wis USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MTV's Real World Chicago (Paperback)

Not a bad book at all. Personally, I don't care for the eleventh season of "The Real World". This season seemed to focus around three storylines. The book was a refreshing source of what REALLY happened in Chicago. It gives the reader an idea of what the cast was really like. What they REALLY thought. The book includes cast views about themselves and each other. There are casting excerpts, as well as house facts as written by the director and cast commentary on the drama that went down. There is also an application for "Real World XIII". Overall, I would suggest this book to anyone that has followed the season thus far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, June 16, 2002

Alexis (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MTV's Real World Chicago (Paperback)

This book was the perfect addition to the Real World legacy. Its such a great show but even though MTV shows it about 600 hundred times you can't see and understand everypart of it so this book explains all the things that are completely over your head. It also gives further insight into the cast members' personalities that sometimes aren't shown in the confessionals.
