better than the show

very informative. it gave us what really went on during the show, things we never even knew about (like tanya having brothers and sisters).

Amazing!

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.

Awesome Book!

This was such a great book for a fan of the show, it has a lot of interesting facts that you don't get to learn by watching the show, plus nice pictures and what cast members really think of each other. I rate this book a 10!

This is for you, Lou

One September evening in 1992, my college roommate, who liked to sit in his bedroom with his bong and his tiny black-and-white TV, came out and turned on the large color TV that sat atop stacked milk crates in the center of the common room. He was motivated to make the move not because he preferred the color set - he thought color was for philistines and that the true beauty of the televised image was best expressed in black and white, like French new wave cinema -but because the common-room TV got cable rather than just networks, and there was a new show on MTV that he had to watch. That show was The Real World, a documentary soap opera that followed the lives of eight young adults thrown together for the first time in a loft in New York City. "This is going to change the world," he said.My roommate was not right about much. He thought that the Chicago Bears would be a NFL dynasty before the nineties were out and believed that hurricanes were aliens. But he was right about the Real World. The last time I talked to him, he was organic farming somewhere in Massachusetts. He didn't have a car. He hadn't heard of DVDs. But he had a television with cable so that he could watch the Real World.He would love this book.

Awesome

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.
