When Jack first picked this book up, I wasn’t sure exactly what it was. Was this a fictitious tale of one man’s fantasies, or was this a humorous book of tips. The answer was both and neither. Yes, fantasy is greatly involved here, but this was a true-life telling of Neil Strauss making them come true; going from an AFC (average frustrated chump), to studying with the greatest seducers in the world, and becoming one, himself. The Game is less a point by point how-to guide (if that’s what your seeking then you want The Rules of the Game), though there is valuable information on connecting with people (yes, men and women).

Are you just another AFC (“average frustrated chump”) trying to meet an HB (“hot babe”)? How would you like to “full-close” with a Penthouse Pet of the Year? The answers, my friend, are in Neil Strauss’s entertaining book The Game. Strauss was a self-described chick repellant–complete with large, bumpy nose, small, beady eyes, glasses, balding head, and, worst of all, painful shyness around women. He felt like “half a man.” That is, until a book editor asked him to investigate the community of pickup artists. Strauss’s life was transformed. He spent two years bedding some fine chiquitas and studying with some of the North America’s most suave gents–including the best of them all, the God of the pickup “community,” a man named Mystery.
