Looking at the JSON structure, it doesn't conform to your Model definition. You JSON corresponds to this object structure:

C#

public class Summary
{
    public int total_count { get; set; }
}

public class RootObject
{
    public List<object> data { get; set; }
    public Summary summary { get; set; }
}

If you rename 'RootObject' to FacebookFriendsModel, and 'data' to FacebookFriend, using JSON attributes, you'll get:

C#

public class Summary
{
    public int total_count { get; set; }
}


public class FacebookFriendsModel
{
    [JsonProperty("data")]
    public List<FacebookFriend> FacebookFriends { get; set; }
    public Summary summary { get; set; }
}

The biggest difference is that total_count is not part of FacebookFriend, but of the parent Model, since it's outside of the JSON array.
