'Jersey Shore' Star Set For Book Signing At Brick Barnes & Noble

BRICK, NJ — Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, who rose to fame as part of the crew of summer partying friends on MTV's "Jersey Shore", is scheduled to appear at the Barnes & Noble in Brick Township for a book signing.

Sorrentino will be signing copies of his recently released memoir, "Reality Check: Making the Best of The Situation – How I Overcame Addiction, Loss, and Prison," on Sunday, April 14, at the store in Brick Plaza. The book signing will be held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Sorrentino "paints a raw and uncensored picture of his rise to stardom, steep fall, and amazing renaissance, all told with unwavering honesty," an announcement about the book tour says.

He was one of the stars of "Jersey Shore," which ran from 2009-2012 on MTV and followed the summer parties, relationships and even fights of eight roommates who shared a house in Seaside Heights.

Sorrentino, a Manalapan High School graduate who was born on Staten Island, has since admitted to having been addicted to oxycodone while he was on the show. He later had run-ins with the law, including after a fight with his brother at the family's Middletown tanning salon.

He later admitted to tax evasion and spent eight months in federal prison.

"Join Mike on a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and the pursuit of living your best life," the announcement of the book signing says.

A copy of Sorrentino's book must be purchased from the Barnes & Noble of Brick to participate in the book signing, the company said.

"Books can be purchased the day of the event, otherwise you must show your Brick Barnes & Noble receipt if you bought your copy ahead of time. Wristbands will be given out upon arrival," the company says.
