Inspirational Entertaining
The Bad
Can instill unrealistic expectations in a newbie Not much educational value
After reading this book, I was inspired. I thought I just learned all the right things to say to girls. I went out and made an idiot of myself, said a lot of stupid things to girls, looked like an idiot.

The Game is a fun read, but by no means is it a book to really learn your game from. Don't read it expecting to learn how to talk to girls. There is no learning structure. It is just a great, entertaining story.

It is kind of known as the book that everybody starts with. And that's fine. But after you read it, read some material that actually is meant to teach you how do to the stuff in the game, or other stuff.

The game was a spectacular...Gawd I can't find the words. It opened my eyes. It introduced me to this community. Not to mention the fact that it was very interesting (Never have I read a book twice, back to back). I'd give it three thumbs up if I had 3 thumbs.

I have to say I wasnt very impressed..He obviously loves himself to much and doesnt feel heard, he just waffles on about random crap. 16 pages about being stuck in border patrol in some random country, nothing to do with anythng.
He's got game..thats for sure, but he just gives examples, A sheet full of openers would have given his book an A+ rank..but its only a C as its vague.

I really don't think it was meant to be a full fledged 'how-to' manual. I mainly liked it because of the back stories behind this journey form nerd to player. However, I did find my self skipping past parts of the book too

The Game was not good because of any techniques it might have offered. Those techniques I had already become familiar with. The important factor of the book was the journey that Style had gone through. The journey as an AFC to a novice to a PUA and finally to mPUA. That Journey offered examples of those that were naturals and those that learned the game. It also showed the destructive pattern of those that had allowed the game to fully take over their lives. He mentions the addictive nature of the pickup, the history of the community and the advice of naturals to re-evaluate what was important in life.

I myself am situated in St. Catharines Ontario and am a local city man. I am half way through the book: 'The Game' by Style. All I got to say is that I never read a book in over 5 years, a friend recommended this one to me and my god Strauss wrote an excellent book.
Honestly my game is close to perfect however this read has given me more of an idea to help my already perfect game get better...Cudos Mystery and Styles

The Game was in my opinion a great motivational story. It really gives guys hope for where their skills can go. Do I believe that Mystery and Style are two of the best PUA's EVER? NO, I dont believe they are the best. I do believe they are good and I love Mystery's love to help people. I dont know him on like a personal hang out basis but from what I can see he truely wants to help people, even though his prices are outrageous.

It's all about what you want to get out of this whole thing. I would never say Mystery is not good cause that would be a lie but lets face it there are some guys out there who are insane. I personally feel like if they had the PR he did they would be considered the best.

Now with all this talk that seems like Mystery bashing I want to say this. I use Mystery's stuff and in no way do I want it to seem like I dont respect him or Style. But I must also tell what my opinion is to give my respect to the community and the other mPUA's out there.

I have read The Game and The Mystery Method and The Game is only about how Style became a pickup artists and about the people in the community. The Mystery Method tells you and shows you how to become a pickup artists and what openers to use and it explains the routines and everything else unlike The Game which is just a story.

the good- motivational. stories. LA life. Proof pick can be learned. the bad - don't expect to learn much here. It's like a non-fiction novel. Bottomline - Buy Revelation to learn. The best of this book is it's cover and it's stopped a paradagm shift activating a woman's thoughts.

This is a life-changing book from Page 1 until the end.

We have all been subconsciously playing the Game throughout our lives, and to see someone doing it consciously is eye-opening. As big an impact as Anthony Robbins' Unlimited Power on my own particular life, this is the one book that you need to buy, rent, borrow or steal. My copy is full of yellow highlighted pen marks. Copying techniques, fashions tips and everything possible. A great starting point and a book to re-read every 6 months. But only if you love women as much as I do.
