“Jersey Shore” star Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino was a hit at his April 14 book signing for “Reality Check: Making the Best of The Situation – How I Overcame Addiction, Loss, and Prison” at the Barnes and Noble of Brick. The appearance drew a long line of fans.

“The day was awesome!! So glad I got to experience this with my daughter!!” commented one attendee on Sorrentino's social media. Representatives of Barnes and Noble of Brick were unavailable to comment by press time.

Sorrentino's book tour continues with a visit to Books and Greetings in Northvale at noon Sunday, April 21. Attendees must purchase a book to attend. Visit booksandgreetings.com for more information or to register.

“Reality Check” details Sorrentino's rise from Manalapan to reality TV stardom and the pitfalls of life in the spotlight. Those pitfalls include an addiction to pain killers and prison time.

“My life has been a wild ride,” said Sorrentino in a statement. “The public has a general idea about some of those chaotic events, but not fully. In 'Reality Check,' I divulge all the details about making 'Jersey Shore' and open up about my crippling drug addiction during those years, eventual recovery and sobriety, time in prison, and experience starting my beautiful family.

"My life has been a roller coaster, and I’m excited to share with the world the depth of my lows and the remarkable comeback that no one saw coming.”
