This book was funny in a very outside the box way and one I really enjoyed.

It is an odd one to recommend but one I still would.

Thank you for you copy - really appreciated.

I read this in one sitting - it is that type of book - you literally cannot turn away in case you miss something.

What the reader is witnessing is life inside a Big Brother style TV program - all the alliances, back-biting, romance (or lust) - in which the contestants must compete against each other in a series of challenges. There are the inevitable twists - and along with immunity, one contestant can have more control of who stays and who goes. The losers are then"executed" and upon leaving the compound, their deepest, darkest, most personal secrets are revealed to all and sundry - oft times with devastating consequences.

The main characters are the contestants themselves - though Daniel North seems to be the main one - the callous TV producer and media tycoon, Felix Moldoon; Felix's fix-it and assistant Desiree; hostess Zelda; and the shadowy Mrs P. Just how far any of them will go to win - both the cash prize and the ratings - is anyone's guess. Sacrifices will be made all in the name of entertainment.

The reader's focus is centered on Daniel and Felix - and it is pleasing to reader that neither have it all their own way. Whilst the characters have no real depth to them - they are at times as shallow as their storylines - it was still an entertaining read.

I am looking forward to reading the second in the series to see where things lead.

This is a new to me author and I have to say I am looking forward to reading more by this author! I loved this book

Typical and yet felt a lot of emotions while reading this story, I stayed up all night wanting to know what happen and what kind of bomb are going to explode.

Something about the way this is written makes me unable to care about it at all. Many of the characters and plot points are incredibly cliche and predictable, and while that may be intentional, it makes the story very boring for me.

I don't watch reality TV, I dislike the concept of it. I found this book quite light but also disliked the underlying cut throat nature of it.
I found I was rooting for the characters with the 'nicest' personalities. Is Felix and Mrs P based on somebody that Nick Lennon-Barrett knows?

I stopped watching TV a while ago, and never liked reality shows. So this is pretty good for what it is. It's a light read with some humor, and should be enjoyed those seeking a distraction.

Thanks for the free review copy!

I was so excited to read this book as I am an OG BigBrother fan. I remember years ago reading a book along these lines by Ben Elton which I loved but I wasn't as entertained by this one I'm afraid.
Maybe it's me getting old, the concept of how everything in reality tv appears to be a fix, contestants are mostly unlikeable and fame hungry. I just didn't excite or entertain me unfortunately, it was quite predictable other that 1 single thing right at the end which the main character didn't even get to find out about which seemed a bit odd?!?!

Can Daniel resist the temptation of a younger man to achieve his goal? Will Felix sacrifice his own son for the sake of TV ratings? And just how far is the ultimate Reality TV villain willing to go for the grand prize? Loved the story and the pacing and just everything about it…

First off I have to say I love this cover. This story was a quick and entertaining read, I was able to finish it in one sitting. Looking forward to reading more from the author.

I really enjoyed Reality Bites, it was funny and engaging and you really root for the main characters and want to learn their stories.

A very quick and entertaining read.
