Read more like a novel than a non-fiction political book. Even though I consider myself fairly well informed about political matters, I learned quite a bit about the 2008 campaign. Wow, the country really dodged a bullet by not electing McCain/Palin. " — Dellanie, 7/24/2011 Written by the guru of the seduction community.

(Though women might get more 'offers', this does not mean we get to have all that many opportunities to have sex with some one who's not drunk of their ass and/or are being rude to us at the same time as they offer sex.) Very good behind the scenes of the 2088 race. Also, much, much better than the already good HBO based on (one small part of) the book. " — L., 11/12/2012 It's true, there are a lot of offensive things in this book. But that seems to be par for the course with social commentary nowadays. If no one is pissed off, no one is listening. This was an ok, book but not quite what I had hoped for. It was listed among the best books of the year by The Economist. It had some interesting annecdotes, but hardly the "political porn" it was described as. " — Christian, 1/24/2014 Entertaining, although I felt like I was watching reality TV (the McCains! Does it never stop!?).My aunt showed a modicum of taste in dismissing it as a 'kiss and tell', but really I want one of these for every City Council election.

Now, the important part is, like Neil Strauss also clearly states, that after you have build some kind of self-confidence and ability to not take everything serious, you can slowly put your own self in your approach to strangers and make really interesting connections. Have relationships, you never would have expected to happen. The ultimate goal is to bring the right people together, instead of marrying the first girl that pays attention to you. a b c d Calderone, Michael (January 10, 2010).

At the same time this book makes a rather revolutionary suggestion that I think more women NEED to open their minds to. But that's not the way things go with this one ... people get too distracted by the bombast. They either eagerly attach themselves to the promise of some secret seduction technique, or they become blinded by their offense. Frum, David (March 4, 2012).
