 Amazingly Entertaining May 30, 2008
This book is not a how-to book, like some of my friends thought upon seeing me with it. What this book is, is an entertaining story of a man's journey in this community. He is a guy that many an average man can relate to, and learn from along the way.
He shares his story while imparting some lessons along the way. Not to mention, it was very humorous!
This Book Saved My Life May 29, 2008

A few years ago I was the archetype of the lonely man. I came very very close to commiting suicide in fact, because I felt trapped in isolation. I wanted friends, and I wanted lovers but I had no idea how to get them.
This book quite literally saved my life, in my darkest hour this book introduced me to the concept that being SOCIAL, making friends and being liked was a skill. Until I read this it had never occurred to me you could practice those things and get better at them.
This book started me on a path towards self-improvement in which I eventually realized EVERYTHING in life is a skill. Everything can be practiced you can learn how to be better at anything. Even being happy.
The Game is not a how-to book, it does not teach you all the techniques of pick-up. It's a true story about how some of the first pick-up artists started out. But the Game is an excellent introduction into a sub-culture of men devoted to making their own lives better. It's a primer to the IDEA that if you want to be more happy, or more sexy, or more attractive, you CAN be. You do not need to stay miserable.
Pick-up is ironically, about much much more than getting laid. It turns out that learning to love yourself (which ends up attracting women anyways) is also its own reward.
Loved the story line May 22, 2008

Neil Strauss can write like no other. I stumbled onto this one in a bookstore, and damn near read half of it before leaving. After some internet research, I learned about the whole seduction community and how Neil took it on as a writing project. It unexpectedly consumed his life, and ultimately became a completely life changing experience for him. His attitude, his self-presentation, and most importantly his social skills with women. The biography becomes an autobiography. Highly recommended reading.
 FASCINATING PIECE OF AMERICANA May 8, 2008
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
After reading this book, I ultimately found myself in the same position as the author. The one night stands were fun while they lasted, but in the end I wanted something more substantial. It is really not that unusual for not-very-attractive men to win more attractive women. While men are mostly visual, and want someone good looking, women look for character in men. If it happens to come in a not-so-perfect package, we are willing to overlook that. One couldn't help but like the author, even while disrespecting what he was doing. But if you are a guy who wants to please either his one night stand or his one and only true love, here's a book that will help you accomplish that: Was that an earthquake? The Sensuous Couple's (Flip Over) Guide to Seismic Oral Sex. Blow her mind with your oral sex technique. If she is a keeper, flip the book over for her to read about fellatio, and she can blow your mind in return!
 Great Read May 5, 2008

"The Game" is a fantasitic book with so many facsets to it. The main reason most people purchase this book is most likely to try to learn how to pick up women. You do learn a lot from this book about women, but more importantly you learn new and improved communication skills that can be used outside the world of women. Also, the book is a great read with many hilarious and telling stories of triumphs and defeats. I definitely recoment this book to anyone.
