Book Reviews of The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists
Book Review: Seriously LAME
Summary: 1 Stars
I gave some thought to purchasing this book after reading Tucker Max's "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell". I never would have figured it's a book on how to turn yourself from a social outcast into a player...by using magic tricks. Wow can you get any lamer? Do you honestly think that pulling a quarter out from behind your ear is going to get you women, you mine as well dress up in your star trek outfit and head out to the bars...don't forget your pointy ears.
Suggestion: Don't waste your money, I'd rate it lower if I could.
Book Review: Enlightening and Surprising
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book expecting it to be a "how-to" on meeting and getting to know women. I was very pleasantly surprised to find a captivating true story of a man's (and several other men's) metamorphosis from socially inept people to masters of attracting women. For anyone looking for the "how-to" material, it's all there, woven into the story. But there is more. We get to truly see these men for who they are and we see how becoming successful with women affects their lives in different ways. It is encouraging, extremely entertaining, and even heartwarming.Book Review: Very interesting book
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is about the chronicles his journey from a lonely man with no confidence to a master pickup artist. Eventually, the pendulum settles somewhere in the middle in this guys life. Even the ending is satisfying. Very interesting, very involving and very enlightening. I also recommend other book about relationships I Love You. Now What?: Falling in Love is a Mystery, Keeping It Isn'tBook Review: fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great read- it's the story of a man who over the period of three years discovers the keys to projecting charisma, and being attractive, and changes his entire life as a result.
I took this as justification to read his companion work, The Rules of the Game, which is a step-by-step guide to approaching social interaction using the techniques that he has developed in the workshops to which he refers in this autobiographical work.
This book offers a refreshing insight into the human condition, and may teach you some truths about human nature that you can't bring yourself to believe. The prose is tight and well-written, the subject matter enthralling, and the entire experience voyeuristic. Highly recommended.
Book Review: Loved the story and characters
Summary: 4 Stars
Read it start to finish. Techniques asides, it's a fascinating story of a lonely guy who joins a group of men who develops the power of seduction over women, and yet self-destruct in the lifestyle that comes with this skill they so desperately sought. The cast of characters are bright, original, and bizarre.

These books are specifically aimed at men seducing women. But if you change the subject just a bit, they work like sales manuals.
