The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists

I'd also recommend Around The World in 80 Babes! -- the classic tale of Nige 54 and his adventures meeting women and showing them a good time. Unlike many guys who are all talk and only think they know how to meet women, through his story, Nige 54 imparts the required insight and strategy that other guys can actually use to maximize their success. In contrast to "The Game," which painted a very negative picture of the whole seduction community, Around The World in 80 Babes! motivates and inspires every guy out there to make some changes and start living the "54" way.

I bought this for my younger brothers (20 and 22) and I read it after they kept talking about it. They acted like they had "seen the light", so I wanted to know what they were learning about how to pick up women.

Its a good read. I don't agree with all of the tactics, but if you're looking for a funny and entertaining story of a loser guy who turns his life around so that he's a top pick-up artist, this is the book for you.

I could go through the points on women I agree with and those I don't, but after talking with my girlfriends about some of these, I realized that yeah, we're all different. Some of the advice will work with some women and some of it won't... naturally.

I bought this book and Secrets of the A Game: How to Meet and Attract Women Anywhere, Anyplace, Anytime by Logan Edwards. My brothers read both and now they keep referring to The A Game for techniques. But the Game is more of a story and held my interest.

This is an excellent self-improvement book for me. The best part about it is that it's a "story" which makes it easy to remember and absorb. It's entertaining and I think provides good insight into the lives of men. Most guys would never talk about this stuff openly.

I think the best part about this book is that is shows what it possible. You may not agree with everything about it (I certainly didn't) but it does show that we are masters of our own destiny and don't have to follow the same route as everybody else, unless we want to.

I just recently got divorced, so I found this book very helpful in showing me that what I'm going through now isn't what I have to have forever. I also enjoyed The Game Plan - Practical Dating and Sex Advice to Help You Move Beyond Your Divorce, Meet New Women, and Have Fun Again which is similar to this one, with advice specifically for divorced guys.

Good book. It's a top-seller for a reason. It's good if you like an interesting story, but also if you're into self-improvement. I think a lot of women would also find it of interest.

This is a good book for some easy reading. It definately doesn't give you enough information to start picking up women. Its really a story all about how the VH1 show "The Pickup Artist" was all started. It has really opened my eyes to the fun of social dynamics and a whole new track of reading for the future. I would recommend this book for anyone even slightly interested but don't expect it to give you alot of material to pick up women, just the logic behind it.

I picked this up along with another one amazon recommended, The Professional Bachelor Dating Guide - How to Exploit Her Inner Psycho. Loved both. Neil Strauss is a seriously interesting wordsmith, and tends to cover unusual pop topics. I read The Game cover to cover in one day. Nice character development, and the other guys in the book are some crazed nut jobs who all have the gift of gab with women. Fantastic story.
