Description
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.

Excellent
5By AfricanGringoThe ending was the best part.The Game
3By penguin819591069285829692959the first half of the book feels like opening a treasure chest. the second half should have let me look through the treasure. but it was as if the treasure chest if just open was revealed to be empty the last 50-60% of the book does not contain much information, unfortunately. it becomes a long and rather repetitive narrative about the dynamics within PUA community. in terms of the first 40-50%, it’s alright. I do wish it went explained the “game” it brings up with more than 2-3 sentences. probably worth a read anyways since it’s such a “classic” but i can’t say it was particularly informative OR entertaining. it’s valuable in the way that it opens your eyes to what’s possible, but exploring other books on the subject will almost certainly be requiredA GEM FOR MEN!!!
5By MalyMal22This is a MUST READ FOR MEN.Awesome
5By CharlieonesA must read for all menBook never downloaded
1By black_gottiWas looking forward to reading this book. So I paid for it, waited, waited, and waited. To my surprise, the book never downloaded. Smh. I’d like a refund !Debauchery At It’s Finest!
4By Stephan BlakeNeil Strauss delivers a page-turner that does not disappoint! I’ve read The Game many times, and the entertainment is top-notch. Neil’s time spent in the pickup artist (PUA) community is very well-documented in this thrilling tale of overcoming and conquering social fears and dating. Warning: Buy the sequel, Rules of the Game, as well, because you’re sure to want the action to continue once you’ve turned the last page of this book!Fantastically Addictive
5By bikmrI read this in like two days - Neil Strauss is a wonderful writer who knows how to find the most interesting angles into any subject - and this subject has many.The spark of a new adventure for all men.
5By El VisionaireThis is my first ever review for a book thats i feel free to share my thoughts on. I think that after reading the Game, we all want to be style and come out on top like a boss. This book has revolutionized the way we not only read but learn. Ive learned so much that my friends and my dad have failed to teach me and im truly greatful for not only learning the pick up artist community (which i would have never known existed) but for learning how to make myself a better man. This book is the carved stone in your life that will be remembered for a long time.Style of writing is great
4By Ur a bishThe books ending was a bit of a disappointment and it seemed to happen too abruptly. I also felt lost on more than one occasion; when terms & acronyms, specific to the pickup-artist community (PUA), were tossed around without being clearly defined (till the end of the book). But other than that, great readI enjoyed it
3By TreyrobertsThis is a good book for sales people. It has a motivational quality, like cheering for the underdog! Good stuff!Awesome Book I love it
5By T Corp W.W;)Interesting
4By blaisebeauIt was a good bookLife changing
5By Notstyle. (Cullen)One of the best books Ive ever read. Recommended by my brother who thought it would be perfect to read going into my senior year of high school. Very easy to read and a satisfying and life changing book. For anyone who reads this, guy or girl, it does not only help you with meeting new people which is one of the most human satisfying thing to do, but shows life lessons and understanding of life.Deeper than you
5By Tweeder81I bought this book on recommendation from a close friend, claiming it would change your life. Well, I don't want to go THAT far with it. It simply validated my personal beliefs of the Male-Female game. While yes, their techniques are like fishing with dynamite, there's a greater goal that it leads you to. These techniques aren't necessarily for the natural womanizer but, the man who has a genuine inability to approach the opposite sex and used as a confidence-builder. Getting them into bed, while fun it can be, cannot be the ultimate goal and that the quest for power will only lead to destruction. Can't wait to read "The Pickup Artist" to see what happens next.Amazing Read
5By DatboytmoneyThis book is an amazing read. A lot of guys have too much pride, but this isn't so much a guide to picking up chicks as it is a journey into the minds of the men who do this for a living. I've already read it multiple times and it never gets old!!Eye opening
5By Socrates371This book has changed the life of everyone who i know has read it, and i think its arrival as an ebook will be a major milestone both within the community, and the rapidly changing Game of beginning new relationships, and the world culture as a whole.Changed my life!
5By SuchichefNot only is this book life changing, it's so entertaining. It inspired me to be a better man. After reading this, I read Rules of the Game which really helped me break outta my shell. I have a new, fun and exciting life and I owe it all to these books!A must own!!!
4By Strauss is God!Every man must read this book. With an open mind it can be life altering. I have read this book multiple times and always learn from it. Now granted, I do not apply every method, as I am already a very social person. But, the subtleties and nuances one can acquire from this book are valuable.
