About this ebook

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 and journalist, 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 last decade—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 this generation.

The worst book i read in years. The author should be thrown in prison for writing excrusiating painful book. It will never give you games except a highschool love drama and big boy acting like little kids story. The book should be placed in washroom...when u ran out soft paper...use the book pages to wipe your ass. It will be more profitable if the writer get deported to austrialia

This is autobiography book and lacks any applicable, practical pickup or dating advice. If you really want to learn how to seduce women step by step, read: SMASH FROM ZERO TO HERO eBook

I picked up this book to be more discerning, learned quite a few things along the way. Apart from the the obscene language and scenes, it demonstrates friendship well. If this book is summarized in a sentence, leaving the game means winning
