The Art of Seduction

Summary: Best book on winning over the opposite sex!!!
Review: The topic of seduction has interested me for a long time and this book is absolutely superb!!! What stands out most is its "completeness" - all different types of personalities for seducers and targets of seduction are discussed, various stages of the seduction process are carefully laid out and their components discussed at great length and thoroughly analyzed. I especially liked the numerous examples of actual people from real life that the author provides making it very clear what the seduction involve.

I would call this book the "textbook" on seduction. It is fairly long and very thorough guide manual on how to become an irresistible seducer. If you're looking for something quick and easy to flip through, this is not the book for you. If you want to seriously study the art and practice of seduction - this is probably the best book, at least to start with. The book deals with the topic of seduction for both men and women.

You should also know that the seduction this book deals with is not of the cheap ordinary kind, where you just want to take the person to bed with you. This book is about learning to make another person fall passionately in love with you - about winning their mind first, before conquering their body. It's the kind of seduction that often requires patience, time and lots of careful scheming. If you just want a few tips on picking up a girl (or a guy), you should look elsewhere.

Yes, this book does not consider morality, but it is only the better for that. The most successful seducers often don't concern themselves with issues of morality. The book lays out the techniques of seduction in a brutal, but very truthful and realistic (maybe even cruel) way. Good seducers are not always compassionate or acting out of good will - that's just how the world actually is. When it comes time for you to applying these techniques, it will be up to you to decide how moral or amoral you choose to be.

GREAT BOOK! Highly recommended for all would-be seducers!!!

Summary: A diva/seductress is humbled...
Review: This book will change your life--if you're ready for it. I actually bought this book 4 months ago, but never read it. It was just a conversation piece I'd have in my bookshelf. I flipped through the pages and think, "This is really intense." Then I'd put it back on the shelf and read something else. It wasn't until I received it as a gift from my best friend that I actually had the courage to sit down and absorb what lay inside.

This book is perfect for those who are overly romantic, hypersensitive, and think that love is an "all or nothing" quantity. I am all three. :) Or at least I was. The author of this book is brilliant (and did a LOT of homework judging by the material both in the body of the text as well as in the margins). I was impressed (and intimidated) by the density of the book--which is probably why I didn't want to read it at first. It took me about an hour to read 10 pages (not "skim," but "READ"). But I couldn't put it down because I felt that whatever I didn't get to read was making my present-day actions incomplete. (Yup. It's that powerful.)

I devoted a solid week of my time to reading this book (and yes, I do have a job--and a life). It was just that good. I'm actually reading it a second time to make sure what I gleaned remains in my mind. It helps if you're somewhat of an educated individual, though. Some mythological references stirred up things I had learned in middle and high school, so I had to constantly refresh my memory and think, "Oh yeah! I remember that story!"

If you open this book and find it daunting, then you're not ready for it. Simple. But when you are ready for it (or when a third party who loves you and knows you well believes you're ready), you won't want to put it down. It's an amazing text which completely altered how I view both myself and the world around me. If you're open to change, this is the book for you. If not, then you'll probably be a seducer's willing victim somewhere down the road. :)

Summary: A must have book on picking up women
Review: I just bought this book and I love it. A good book on "how to" books to pick up women. It's simple, honest and the author did his research. This book is one of the best books I've read on the subject. There's a lot us guys can learn in this book. The title is accurate. This book is a must have. A great investment.
Here are othe books I recomment:
1)"How to 'Pick Up' Beautiful Women" by John Eagan - By Far The Best Of All The Dating Books!
2)"U.S.S." by Leil Lowndes.
3)"How to Meet the Right woman" By Roger Ratcliff
4)"Understanding Women" By Romy Miller
You can find more books under the subjects of "how to pick up women", "how to pick up girls" and "dating" on this site.

Summary: I liked the book, hated the audio version.
Review: The guy reading on the audio version seems to have a complete disregard to 'periods' at the end of sentences. He combines sentences and speaks without pausing. The final outcome is that it spoils the listening experience. It sounds weird.

Content-wise the book is a fun read. I have definately not become manipulative, scheming, cunning etc.. I have learnt a little bit more about how people thought/think. It is definately an interesting read.

Summary: The motive matters
Review: I've noticed in reviews and conversations I've had with some acquaintances about this book that a number of people think the author is promoting "slimy" behavior. While it's true that a person could use the basic principles of seduction in amoral and unethical ways seduction at its heart is no more evil than a middle school girl's guide to being charming. The idea is to pay attention to the desires of the people around you in order to make them happy and make them want to make you happy in return. That's not so bad, is it?

Summary: Interesting, relatively insightful
Review: This book contains historical and fictional examples of seduction - and gives some insight into how human beings dominate the minds of others, from a personal to a political scale. It is worth reading for the examples which prove interesting, but don't listen to any crap reviews which are people trying to flog you the book - there is nothing revelationary here, but still very interesting you will understand how to manipulate people maybe a little better here and there.

Summary: thinking penis
Review: I wish i did not buy this book. It was written by someone who thinks with his [...]. Totally and clearly manipulative while referring to women as victims.
There is no emotional dimension of love and romance and the concept of relationship seems planets away.
I have the impression that, for some, the only purpose in life is to get laid.

Summary: I was seduced by 'the Art of Seduction'
Review: Let me start by saying that i'm a female..most of these reviews seem to be from guys looking to get laid.

I won't reiterate what everyone has already said: the book is full of saucy little manipulations, deliciously evil plots to knaw at your victim's..err target's weaknes, and singlehandedly transform yourself into a modern-day Seductress.

I will simply say that this book works!!! Just last week, I was highly frustrated over my relationship with a man who was acting unresponsive towards me. I applied certain techniques by finding the right fit (in my case a mixture between a Siren & Coquette. Within days, he was calling me 3x a day, & I simply basked in my new-found dignity.

Do not be misled, this book is about setting your own standards in a relationship. And like Scarlett O'Hara once said: "If I have to beg, lie, steal.." I will never be a victim again!

Well..that is unless I am seduced in turn. Which brings me to the reason I gave this book 4 stars. Not to sound pretentious, but unless you have sharp analytical skills, it might be hard to grasp all the information contained in this book and use it practically.

One thing I noticed is that the author fails to mention that the Seducer himself/herself is a victim, for the desire to seduce has already bound us to the victim in ways we cannot repel.
