Canceled - The Story of America's Least Wanted (Paperback)


What will reality TV do next? Kaylie Adams is about to find out, as she joins FBC's new hit reality TV show: "Canceled." A sort of "Abortion Idol," the American viewing audience votes weekly: keep the baby, or terminate. When FBC studio executive Jake Granville learns he's the father - and realizes he wants to be a dad - TV's hottest new show suddenly gets very personal. But a contract is a contract. In a nation obsessed with turning the deeply private into a public freak show, opportunistic network executives push Kaylie and Jake - and America's nerve - to the limit. Readers say "Canceled: The Story of America's Least Wanted" pillories reality TV the way "Thank You for Smoking" parodies the tobacco debate and "The Truman Show" takes people-watching to a whole new level. You may love it, you may hate it, but you will "definitely" remember it. America may choose the fate of Kaylie's unborn baby, but only you can decide if you have the audacity to read this groundbreaking novel. Publisher's Weekly calls "Canceled" "Bitingly clever ... darkly brilliant."
