"The funniest book I have read this year." Tony Parsons * 'Loving it!' - Elle Magazine * 'A narrative of daredevil sexuality.' - Guardian * 'Touching and witty.' - Time Out"
This is a true story. It really happened
“The funniest book I have read this year.” Tony Parsons The Game recounts the incredible adventures of an everyday man who transforms himself from a shy, awkward writer into the quick-witted, smooth-talking Style, a character irresistible to women. But just when life is better than he could have ever dreamed (he uses his techniques on Britney Spears, receives life coaching from Tom Cruise, moves into a mansion with Courtney Love and is officially voted the World’s Number One Pickup Artist) he falls head over heels for a woman who can beat him at his own game.

Spookily brilliant What a discovery!!! I bought this book as part of some research for my own book and I was very pleasantly surprised. I never made the connection that Mr Strauss was the co-author of the much lauded Motley Crue's "The Dirt". Ok, the stories in this book may seem a bit stretched or hard to believe, but hey, it's Americans we are talking about. What I have to say is that reading this book made me look back on my failures and successes at picking women, and it was almost uncanny to read word by word... more info
Great This is a great book. Whether you decide to try to use the methods demonstration within the book or not, it makes a great story with mentions of lots of celebrities and hollywood celeb hangouts. I really enjoyed reading this book, and for the price it is well worth it.
Amazingly Fantastic, and terrible at the same time I'm so happy that I read the game. Without it, i'd still be a lonely depressed chump. However, I read it in 2005 and things have moved on, now I have to compare it to books like The Natural Art of Seduction... The Game is a well-written engaging story. Secondly it exposes a world where men can LEARN how to be better with women. Third, it has some techniques and tricks to actually put things into practice. The problem is that The Game describes PUA Verson 1.0, the kind where guys looked silly... more info
Looks is deceiving What impressed me as much as anything about Neil Strauss' lifting of the lid on the world of PUA's (pick up artists) is the quality of the writing. This is so much more than a how to manual (which it isn't really although along the way you learn a bunch of the techniques used by these guys). It's funny as hell, genuinely fascinating and above all a morality tale that is often dismissed by people who haven't read it as being some chauvinistic tract on how to use women to your own ends. It's much more complex... more info
