Cool premise, not a fan of the execution. It was hard to figure out the message of the book beyond "teenagers do unhinged things sometimes for reasons that adults can't possibly understand." I definitely read books with similar themes (Catcher in the Rye, etc.) when I was a teenager, but at least with other books I could kind of relate to the characters. With Real World, I couldn't understand any of the motivations behind the characters' behavior, even after they explained it.
