"This is an enjoyable and convincing book that would be very useful for undergraduate students of media, cultural or consumption studies and those interested in Baudrillard's theories on mediation and simulated reality. The argument is fluid and convincing, and the writing engaging. It provides an interesting and compelling critique of the reality television culture with a useful analytical reading of the underlying socioeconomic, political and cultural relationships contributing to it." - The Kelvingrove Review "This smart and elegant book is a must-read for scholars and students interested in reality TV and in the encroachment of public relations and advertising rhetoric into all aspects of everyday life. In Consuming Reality, June Deery provides a thorough and rigorous analysis of commercialization in reality television." - Journal of Popular Culture "Deery [has] provided [an] important [contribution] to RTV scholarship, and . . . will be essential reading for courses of study relating to RTV in particular and media consumption in general." - Popular Communication
