Product Description

Review

"A narrative of daredevil sexuality.'" - The Guardian "'The funniest book I have read this year.'" - Tony Parsons "'Touching and witty.'" - Time Out"


Product Description

The follow-up to the international bestseller The Game. If you want to play the Game, you've got to know the Rules. In The Game Neil Strauss delved into the secret world of Pick Up Artists, men who have created a science out of the art of seduction. Not only did he reveal the techniques that they had developed, but he became a master of the Game, and the world's No. 1 PUA, as Style. The Rules of the Game contains the book that Neil thought he would never write, The Stylelife Challenge: the ultimate guide to landing the woman of your dreams from the best of the best. Taking it one day at a time, the challenge is to confront your insecurities and overcome them through a process of rigorous self-examination, briefings and field missions. You'll soon be `sarging' with the best of them and dating the women of your dreams. But remember, take it a day at a time, because, Missing a single lesson or experience will affect your results, your game, your life. In the second part, Neil journeys into the dark side of the Game. `The Style Diaries' is a series of tales of seduction and sexual (mis)adventure. From finding the woman of his dreams during a night on the tiles in Reykjavik, to luring a famous musician's granddaughter into a threesome; from conducting a keenly felt and tender relationship over email, to the stress and frustration of the `30 day experiment', The Style Diaries takes you further into the seduction underworld than ever before.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth buying., 17 Jan 2008
By V. Kozhaev - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Game was a great read. Sadly, the follow up is merely an attempt to cash in on the success of his first book. Even after Neil announced his "retirement" from the game you could see this book coming :) the temptation to cash in was just too great.

The Challenge itself (first part of this book) was originally available on Neil's website for free and was supposed to be Neil's last present to the pick up community. (Its funny how everything Neil does is a "last thing I'll ever do, because too many people have asked me too and I just couldn't let them down :)" I wonder what's the next `last thing' would be .....) Anyways....... As far as I can see there are no additional challenges, missions, tips, etc. This is just a compilation of what is already available and there is nothing in this book that you couldn't find within a minute of searching online. 1 star out of 5

Obviously Neil couldn't just sell 'The Challenge' on its own, so he had to throw in some gimmick to make it a complete product. As a result we get the later part of the book (The Style Diaries). I feel like Neil was under the pressure of deadline from the publisher and haven't spent too much time writing this. The stories are not as entertaining and as his previous writings. Some guys in the community have summed it up us "Neil bragging about his exploits, probably to increase the value of what he teaches in the reader's eye, for the benefit of his future products". I wouldn't necessarily agree with that. Some of the stories were fun to read, but nowhere near as good as the Game. 3 stars out of 5

Overall you could argues that the primary point of the book was to promote the "Style" brand and cash in on the success of his first book. Disappointing. Hope the next product is better.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as The Game but worth a read, 13 Aug 2008
I read, and absolutely loved, 'The Game' by the same author, Neil Strauss so I was looking forward to reading his second book, The Rules of The Game. Overall I would say that I enjoyed the book, and would recomend it, however there were some flaws, and it definitely wasn't as good as The Game.

Strauss attempts to deliver a one size fits all dating remedy for men across the world and the result is quite hit and miss. Some of the 'missions' that the book adivises one to attempt are pretty pointless, and will not be relevant for a lot of people. I also agree with some of the other reviews which mention the comic book style stories at the back of the book. These are quite fun to read but are nothing amazing, and they certainly don't offer much in the way of instruction on pick up.

However I did enjoy the book overall and would probably recomend it. It's not as comprehensive on the subject like other books such as 'The Natural Art of Seduction' by Richard La Ruina, one of the best PUAs this side of the pond who teaches a totally natural form of pick up, but it's a fun read and should probably be on the book shelf of any wannabe pick up artist.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for girls too!, 5 Dec 2007
This book gives a fascinating insight into the world of pick-up artists and as a women, I found it unexpectedly engaging and hilarious. Girls, do not be afraid. I think all women should read this book!

The Game was introduced to me when I found it on the shelf of man i was dating and after perusing it I was intruiged to find he had taken much of Neil Strauss' technique to heart! Rather than being disgusted (i'm still with him) it provoked a brilliant debate and probably strengthened our relationship.

The follow up, the Rules of the Game, is a how-to guide and also comments on the darker side of the Game in the Style Diaries. Reading it does not only allow you to pick out the Gamers and play them at their own Game (oh, the possibilities), but it is also funny, insightful and intelligent. Definitely one of best books i've read recently.

Hopefully, someone will bring out a women's version of this, but in the mean time girls... be prepared!
