About this product

Product Information

Hidden somewhere, in nearly every major city in the world, is an underground seduction lair. And in these lairs, men trade the most devastatingly effective techniques ever invented to charm women. This is not fiction. These men really exist. They live together in houses known as Projects. And Neil Strauss, the bestselling author, spent two years living among them, using the pseudonym Style to protect his real-life identity. The result is one of the most explosive and controversial books of the year -- guaranteed to change the lives of men and transform the way women understand the opposite sex forever. On his journey from AFC (average frustrated chump) to PUA (pick-up artist) to PUG (pick-up guru), Strauss not only shares scores of original seduction techniques but also has unforgettable encounters with the likes of Tom Cruise, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Heidi Fleiss, and Courtney Love. And then things really start to get strange -- and passions lead to betrayals lead to violence. The Game is the story of one man's transformation from frog to prince -- to prisoner in the most unforgettable book of the year.

    good book

    I thought this book was very well written, and honest. It tells a very real story of a man who changes his life. He makes many mistakes along the way, but i think you can probably learn from many of these mistakes. Not a how to book though it does contain a lot of information on how his way of interacting with the opposite sex changes and improves. After reading this i am an instant Neil strauss fan, and have begun reading his later book, "Rules of the Game" which is a how to book, or more like a program designed to develope game. so far so good on this one too, but don't just expect to read it, you have to do field missions, and it definately takes you outside your comfort zone, which i believe is exactly what is needed. Good book!

    The Game by Neil Strauss

    This book was useless and offers no real information. The author is self promoting and doesn't ever offer any studied or scientific information. He enjoys talking about himself, his excapades and his antics. I wouldn't call it a self help book by any means. You do have to hand it to the author though, he is making a lot of money by publishing his embelished and likely dreamed up life. This book would be fun for a middle school teenager who fansies imagining himself in the life described in these books. Save your money this is a fictional read for a juvenile audience. Caution your teens, he does spend an exhorbatant amount of time trying to persuade his readers to follow him on his websight and other venues. This book is really a scam of sorts to enlist the reader to continue ...

    Great Story

    If you are reading this book because you are having trouble with metting women, then I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I am sure you will be able to identify with one of the potential seducers. The bad news is that if you are looking for a step by step guide of what to do then email me and I can recommend two books that can. The reason I gave this book a five rating is because the writer's story is so FASCINATING. You can feel and marvel his transformation from geek to stud. More bad news is that he put in a lot of work. The good news is one can see it is possible to overcome your fears with women. These guys are so good that they actually picked up women who did not even speak the same language!!! MUCH LOVE!!! The one tidbit that I have to share from the book is ...

    Change your life for the better

    Once I started reading this book I could not put it down. I just got out of a 5 year relationship and needed something to get me back into my game. After reading this book I immediately noticed a change in the way I carried myself and the way I held conversations with women. In no way do the stories told in this book turn you into a jerk or a prick to women. It simply allows the reader to build confidence in himself so that he can get past the anxiety of approaching and talking to women. The basic premise is that if you show a girl that you are confident, stable, and can build value in her life, that she will think more of you if you just walk up to her and buy her a drink. If you are a SHY or INTROVERTED person or if you just would like to build your sense of confidence and self worth ...

    Pick Up Artist

    This book is outstanding. It is delivers great ideas, advice and while being entertaining an easy to read. The stories keep your attention style and the information is priceless. I must admit, this book is hard to put down and you find yourself incorporating many of the ideas or just educating your friends and having them try. If you are shy, nervous or just not used to talking to girls/dating...this book could deffinately help. It will take you through from step 1 picking your target to sealing the deal. Even if you are not looking for a help in this area, maybe you know someone who is, or just want to read a highly entertaining and insightful book. The book itself, if only to read, is interesting and entertaining incorporating life stories that are tried and true.
