Book Reviews of The Art of Seduction
Book Review: Abstract but profound
Summary: 5 Stars
The book can either pique the interest of the meandering intellectual/historian or, quite contrarily, the man on the street looking to acquire the ever elusive edge. I fall under the latter.
If you are looking for immediate gain in your seductive prowess, you will initially find much of the information in the text gratuitous. However, you should notice a few sections that really strike a chord with you. I encourage you to reread these passages as they will yield both understanding of your current self and inspire growth. There is no doubt in my mind that the implicit subtleties will begin to appear more relevant and applicable. Personally, I found the chapters on the charismatic, rake, and coquette to be of great value.
Life is a game of inches; do yourself a favor and separate yourself from the crowd.
Book Review: It's about power, not sex.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book, contrary to its title, is more about power and how to keep it then love or sex. The book shows how famous rulers and leaders have made their place in history through their ability to communicate and influence people. Although it does cover some famous relationships, like Cleopatra and her lovers, it does so in a historical evaluation with application to modern day life.
I much preferred this book to one of his others, "The 48 Laws of Power" because it approached leadership from a much more subtle angle that often works better. At the end of reading this book you should have found out how to make your enemies love you and want to please you without them having the slightest clue as to why. Very highly recommended. Quite possibly one of the best books on authority and relationships ever written.
Book Review: The Art of Seduction
Summary: 5 Stars
First and foremost this book has to be the best book ever! I am going to be very brief about this book review. The main emphasis that this book entails is that having confidence is all you need, to get through life. Besides giving information about past seducers and seductresses, this book offers many main points about human theory and how men and women treated their sexual "paths" in many different directions. This book tells people to be manipulative to get what you want! This book tells anyone to be someone else in the respects to get the person you are trying to seduce. After reading this book, personally I have learned no matter what situation I have found myself in, being confident is the way to deal with anything and this book tells someone how to think differently about upcoming relations. Confidence=acceptance MN420Book Review: Worthy piece of literature...If you actually read it
Summary: 5 Stars
I will not reiterate the praises that have been heaped on this book by other reviewers, because that would be repetitive. What I will touch on is the fact that many of the detractors have committed an essential error. In order to acurately critique a literary work, you should have ACTUALLY READ THE ENTIRE BOOK. Not: "I read the first few chapters (or pages)", "I read the table of contents", or my favorite "I read the back cover of the book." All of these lovely statements are followed by "and that was all I needed." I own all three of Greene's works, and enjoy them. That does not mean that I become enraged when someone calls one of these books garbage. Constructive criticism is what makes these reviews helpful, but it can only come from those individuals that have read the book.Book Review: Powerful and dangerous material
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is informative and thought provoking. The concepts in the book are broad strategies rather than practical advice. Despite that, I was able to use Greene's seduction principles in my life.
For example, according to Robert Greene, my particular style of seduction is that of the Charmer; My victim was that of a Dreamer. I was able to write up a game plan from the strategy outlined in the Victim section. I stayed true to rules of seduction outlined in Part II. I let it guide my conversation topics and words. The result, she fell in love with me. She later admitted to me that she had no idea why she suddenly became so attracted to me.
The material in this book is very powerful and dangerous if you can apply the principles to your life.
