BOOK REVIEW THE GAME

Can you believe this? A pickup artist is a concealed creed. As  I finished the book I had no doubt in its opening statement- 

 

    "Men will deny it, women will doubt it, but I present it to you here, naked, vulnerable, and disturbingly real. I beg you for your forgiveness in advance."

 

I am a kindle reader and it is my habit to highlight important sentences. Believe me, of all the books a read, i never laughed or highlighted things at this scale. The Game is entertaining, connecting, full of highs and lows. I think, the most successful writers have a common trait- to make it visualize to readers and break the content to simplest form. No doubt "The Game" was a bestseller, it has to be. 

It can be clubbed under famous 'Art of Seduction' category. Reader can consider it as  self-help book ( for special help), but i was aligned towards knowing the journey of Style ( earned name of author). He created his way of seduction learning from the greatest players in the game. Traveling the world, failing, learning, and coming out as a brand in pickup artist community. 

I wont recommend this book. But you will still go for it. 😎
