The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists by Neil Strauss
3.0
Sometime in 2015 ☆☆☆☆☆
08/01/2024 ★★★
Something huge happened to me in the last 9 years. That is the only explanation I can give as to why a book I absolutely loved the last time I read it was barely even mediocre this time.
In my memory, this book was hilarious and sarcastic, and I remember having such a connection with the main characters that I couldn't put it down.
When actually reading it this time, I mostly rolled my eyes, thought “as if” and “fuck off” and felt extremely sorry for all these pathetic men.
3 stars might be generous, I won't lie, but I did enjoy Strauss’ writing style, and there were parts of the story I did find myself drawn to. It just wasn't enough to wipe away all of the Cringe and disparity of this book.
