Title: bo-o-o-o-o-ring
Product review: Wow, I feel like I read a different book than the other reviewers! I enjoy reality television and Nick Hornby, to whom comparisons have been made, but I thought this book was neither interesting nor particularly well written. While the premise is terrific, a schlump creating a more interesting character to get onto a reality show, the execution was lame. Joseph and his alter-ego Jeb are almost indistinguishable, and neither is likable (nor terribly interesting). Also, there should have been a rich stock of reality-tv stereotypes, but the people "Jeb" encounters are one-dimensional and too much alike. The ending is goofy and not too believable, and the book in general is too anemic even to rise to being considered angst-ridden.Just my opinion, but this was a really tedious read, and certainly not in the same league as Nick Hornby.
