Summary: Negative
Review: First, let us consider the subject matter and not the specific content of the book. There is indeed a market for these "secrets". Think about that for a moment. What a sad commentary of what we have become as a society. We now live in a time where too many women have been hurt by too many men, and yet there are still books like this being sought-after, written, bought, and sold. This is not the forum to debate whether this class of published "advice" for men is a cause or merely a symptom of one of the greatest ills of our day: men who fear commitment, but are still willing to take what is not theirs. However, few could convincingly argue that this work will help any woman find a man she can trust or that will help any man be worthy of a woman's trust.Secondly, this book is simply a poor piece of literature. It is not well written.I give it a generous 3 out ot 10 only because there are a few books out there that are actually worse. Still, few are more damaging or damning to anyone who would use it as serious reading material. Frankly, I can think of better uses for the paper.

Summary: The authors are jealous illiterates!
Review: First, read "The Rules." Then, before opening this book, place tongue firmly in cheek, make sure the eyeballs are free to roll around in their sockets, settle back and enjoy. "Rules" girls who are afraid these guys have encroached on their turf can rest easy. No "Rules" girl or "Code" guy would ever get past the first date, if there even WAS a first date. This book is an SNL-like parody of "The Rules," and should be taken as such. In that light, it's a hoot in some places, a bore in others. Fortunately, it's short; about a 3-hour read.

Summary: 007-style dating
Review: Great Book. Read this book and get your priorities on how to deal with women straight. (unless you're 75 or so and ready for a family). Sometimes the writers use a little too much big-city bluff, but always very funny. Not a self-help book with pickup lines - after reading this book you'll have the right mind-set: you won't need the cheesy advice and prefab lines.

Summary: Bi-polar Review 1 to 5
Review: I find it truly sad that a man has to read a poorly written book in order to get laid.Sad thing is,we have it set up in our society so men have to jump through hoops in order to find sexual fullfillment,because we women are so unaware in general of our own sexuality,that we continue to believe that we are a commodity instead of an acting and equal sex partner.Too bad men still feel that women are generally sexless and need romance and kudos to "put out" as it is offensively said.

Summary: Barely worth the paper it is written on
Review: I mistakenly purchased this book thinking it was the RULES FOR GETTING LAID by Graff and Schwartz. Boy was I disapointed. This attempt at humor does nothing more than insult the intelligence of us men who are intersted in really doing something with our lives and making a difference. There is no way that this book matches up to the power of books like How to Succeed With Women or other titles out there on dating.

Summary: Very entertaining! I laughed my a@#% off!
Review: If you're looking for a how-to-pick-up-chicks book, this isn't exactly it. In fact, this book doesn't officially exist. But it is rumored to present an attitude which one can only describe as being simultaneously warped and insightful -- in a way perhaps only a guy can appreciate. It's not a long book, but I had a great time reading it. I was constantly looking forward to what new weird idea about women and the mating game they were going to come up with next. If you're in some rut about this subject from having been constantly exposed to all the mainstream media garbage out there, this is a book to break you out of it before it's too late (if it isn't already). But remember, the authors live in NYC, which has THE most favorable male-to-female ratio (for guys at least) of any city in the country... so you may not be able to get away with quite as flippant an attitude as they present here. But, yea, I really liked The Code -- I mean, where else can you get a couple of hours of side-splitting entertainment for the dollar or two a used copy costs around here? And learn how not to be a total chump and/or keep women from converting you from the prince you are into the frog they want and like. I think it may be the single best book presenting the contemporary male view against marriage which doesn't get into law, public policy, and all that Really Important stuff. (Drop me a line if you know of another good one...) Now I know what Really Important Thing to look for in a girl before I consider marrying her. Get a copy for yourself and buy several more for your best non-female friends.

Summary: It is really the most reviews said
Review: It is really most reviews said. Funny, not political correct. Well it is not a step by step learn book, but it sounds like a war book from any major. The text has almost ironical, but realistic notes. It has ironia in all pages. If you do not want a self helper book, but a weapon against the women that want to engage you and command your life, it is a sweet revenge book. If you want a book for learning how to pickup ladies, for beginners, it is not for you. Take some psicology and sexuality book and pratice with friends. p. s. I get a translated version, made by a woman, the text seemed to me poems. I don't know if the original language is so polite. Thanks.

Summary: Moderately amusing
Review: Sophomoric send-up of "The Rules" in the style of National Lampoon. "The Rules" richly deserved a good send-up for its codification of double standards, manipulation, misrepresentation, and man-trapping. This isn't it. The first few chapters are fairly amusing if you've got nothing better to do, but the humor becomes more contrived as you read on. Then it uses highbrow words while trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator, sometimes leaving the reader wondering WHAT their actual joke/point was. Nate and Lawrence are to be lauded for their efforts, but fell short of their noble goal. "The Rules" was actually funnier - read it with an inquiring mind, then imagine the sort of unimaginative, artificial, incapable-of-independent-thought woman that believes every word it says.
