Hmm, I think my expectations were too high for Reality Boy. I love the concept: a boy whose childhood faults were public viewing for the masses must now deal with the anger and resentment he feels towards his family...and the consumers of reality TV. All of the families in this book are horrible, and half of the book is Gerald and Hannah alternating fighting and loving one another. Things just got tedious. And all the evil characters seemed so flatly heinous. Just reading the summary, though, could be an interesting writing prompt for students in a creative writing, sociology, psychology, or English class.
