5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have For Any Real World Fan, January 7, 2001

By	"witch-baby" (USA) - See all my reviews

I really enjoyed reading this book because it was completely packed with cool stuff. I really enjoyed it because it didn't simply retell the show, it went beyond and told about a lot of stuff the cameras didn't show. It had plenty of great color pictures, what the cast wrote on their casting applications, updates on previous Real World Casts, and features on topics that occured throughout the show such as Julie and Matt talking about their religion, and Melissa and David talking about their race. Overall I thought it was a really interesting book. I felt like there was plenty to read, plenty to look at, and I also really enjoyed reading the special reunion section that told about what some of my favorite people from previous casts have been up to. Pick it up :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Nasty Revelations, February 2, 2001

By A Customer

Actually, the only thing I liked about this book is that it is filled with nasty revelations that you might never have been aware of just from watching the show. It turns out that this so-called "friendliest cast ever" had many axes to grind. For example, almost everyone in the house disliked Jamie enormously-- and Danny and Kelley hated him most of all. Melissa and Kelley had a greater rivalry than we saw onscreen. And it goes on and on.

This book will seem refreshing to viewers who thought that RW-New Orleans was too upbeat.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Truth Be Told, April 15, 2001

By	Josh "Josh" (Sc, Usa) - See all my reviews

It's amazing how much is told in this book that wasn't revealed on the show. This book gives the show and the cast (which I think is the most interesting cast yet) more depth. The thing dealt with most in the book is something that wasn't hardly dealt with on the show, and that's Kelley and Danny's dislike of Melissa and Jamie. There's way more content than that, but that is what's focused on a bit. 'Unmasked' also put to rest the answer of some questions, such as "Why was Kelley not in the house a lot?" and "What did Matt really think of Julie the whole time she crushed on him?". All the cast members let out what they really thought about each other, and some of the results could be surprising. All in all, I found that this season and this book is the best ever. Can't wait until next season!
