Title: All the handwriting is fake!
Review: I'm a fan of the Real World, but I feel somehow cheated with this book. I realized halfway through it that none of the handwriting was real. MTV had used clever and no doubt expensive fonts that just look like it. I don't know if if was just recreated based on voice interviews or if their real handwriting wasn't "edgy" enough for MTV, but it sucks. I feel like this is supposed to be a look into what they were thinking and feeling, but it just made the whole thing seem so contrived. All the scraps of paper and seemingly poorly written entries were completely fabricated to skew the readers image of these people even more than the show did. All in all, I thought some of their experiences were interesting and insightful, but the deliberate attempt of MTV to further manipulate the appearances of these people just made me sick.
Is the review positive or negative?
