I was really excited about this book coming out, partly because they have really been hyping it up on the show, but mostly because I really loved the first one. After purchasing the book I came to discover that it is the same exact book with the same story, just with pictures added and a few lines changed. The only thing that is different is a new story in the back of the book about Carly and Simon stealing jewelry, but it is only a few lines long. I would not waste my time buying this book unless you did not purchase the first book. Way to let me down As the World Turns!!!

I was very disapointed when I recieved this book. I guess they did not make enough money off it the first time around and after adding a few pictures and one chapter decided to decieve the public by making everyone think it was a new book.

What a waste of money. I bought the first book and enjoyed it. I didn't realize that I was going to read the same story twice. As I said, a big waste of money.

I purchased this book because I loved the first one. When they started playing it up on the show I could not wait to get a copy. Needless to say that I was extremely disappointed to find that the story is an exact replica of the first book with just a few pictures added and a new chapter. I am really upset that I paid full price for a book that only contained a new chapter, epilogue, and some pictures. It was false advertisement for the book and I personally would like my money back!

I was really excited about receiving this book. I didn't think that it would ever arrive! What a disappointment after I read it. It was the same exact book at the first except for a different cover and 1 chapter added at the end of the book. Everything else was the same!! This was a very big let-down.

This book should have been advertised as a reinterpretation of the original Oakdale Confidential. It was the same book with a few pictures and post-script. I sold it to the next person!

I was very unhappy when I began to read this book and realized it was almost word for word the same as the prior book. I was anticipating this to be the next in a series based on the first book, but it was not. Either get the first book or the second, but not both.

I really enjoyed this book after years of watching As The World Turns.

I loved Oakdale Confidential: Secrets Revealed. I'm a real As the World Turns fan. It's so nice when you know what the characters look like and sound like. It makes the book more real. I know that other people will like the book as well.

My stepdaughter sent this book to me unexpectedly, for no reason or special occasion. For that reason alone, I bumped up my review by one star. She wrote me a really special note inside it, and I treasure it.
Aside from that-based on the books merits alone, I'm sad to say that I was really disappointed by the book. I was recently speaking to my stepdaughter about this book and was surprised to find that she wasn't able to finish this book either, and she's a reader just like I am. That speaks volumes to me. For an avid reader to not finish a book does not speak well for that book.
