The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists
Author: Neil Strauss
Genre: Non-fiction
Rating: 3 - Jag gillade den
Author Neil Strauss claims his book The Game is the true story of how he, during two years of his life, did everything to become a pro at picking up girls. During these two years Strauss transformed himself - from a nerd no woman would want to kiss, into an assertive alpha male with multiple girlfriends.
The Game handles a fascinating subject. After all, who isn't interested in becoming irresistible to the opposite gender? I liked the structure of the book a lot; the layout feels thought-through and versatile. A nice touch with the quotes.
The actual reading was a traumatizing experience. Women apparently weren't meant to read this book. For every page I turned, I felt myself starting to dislike men more and more. I usually try not to take these things personally, but it is hard to avoid doing so with The Game. It is men against women, period.
Towards the end of the book I was randomly angry, frustrated and depressed, and void of self-esteem. Had I not had a boyfriend to take me down to Earth again I would have joined a monastery, pronto.
To all men (and, I suppose, newly divorced women) I gladly recommend this book.
