Summary: Seduce Anyone
Comment: This is the best book on seduction ever! Some reviewers argue that Greene doesn't make the seductive process clear enough and that these tactics will not work in every situation. Well, you can't seduce everyone, but I find that whether you suceed or fail usually depends on your observation skills and on how well you implement the tactics. You have to be innovative. No one book can tell you how to seduce every single person in every single situation. For example, one reviewer said that these tactics will not help you seduce someone you're already friends with. Yes you can--I've done it twice! The key is getting the person to see you in a new light:
Step 1. Put distance between you and your target. Don't tell her you're distancing yourself, just do it! If your friend likes you she will miss you. If she was just saying "Let's be friends" and doesn't care for you at all, she'll still feel your absence because your loss of interest will wound her ego--that's important.
Step 2. Be different. Alter your appearance, make friends with new types of people, sculpt your body, develop new interests, and date as many people as you can. Try to date only those who are at least as attractive as your target, otherwise she'll look down on you.
Step 3. Reintroduce yourself to your target. Don't approach her directly. It's important that she now come to you. If you haven't talked to her in a while, she may have forgotten about you. That's not necessarily a bad thing--maybe the old you was forgettable. But it's a good idea to have maintained an indirect connection with your girl. Maybe you are an aquaintance of one of her friends. Chat with that person occasionally (Don't mention the friend you'll be seducing!) and that person will probably give your target updates about you. Or maybe you work in the same office or have the same circle of friends. In that case, she can witness changes in you first hand. Remember, however, that if you have to see your target regularly it is all the more important to maintain an emotional distance until you're ready for the seduction to really begin. If your girl suspects that you're improving yourself for her or that you're trying to make her jealous, all your hard work will be destroyed.
Now you can reintroduce yourself in one of several ways:
a) Haunt her periphery by attending the places she attends without taking much notice of her, making her come to you.
b) Play the "coquette," seeming interested then disinterested, interested then disinterested.
c) arrange a "chance" meeting. I like this one.
d) befriend or date a friend of hers.
Once she starts to think she didn't know you as well as she thought she did and displays a little interest in the new you, you can start over again and use the tactics in Greene's book. Greene's book never outlined how to seduce someone you've been friends with for a long time. I devised this strategy based on the tactics outlined in "The Art of Seduction." Like I said, it's work twice for me. The first friend became so enamoured that I had to break up with her after only a few weeks. She was smothering me! But I am still dating the second girl and it's great. If you balk at the idea of doing all this just to win someone over, consider that she may not be worth winning over after all, or that you might not be much of a Casanova. But I think that all this effort will actually make you a better man (or woman since this strategy should work on a guy too.) Happy hunting!

Summary: Money well spent!
Comment: I highly suggest this book to anyone who has trouble in the relationship department. The Art of Seduction is a no holds barred approach to seduction, the art of using another person's emotions towards you to gain what you want from them be it sex, money, or companionship. Mr. Greene pays no attention to the lofty ideals of romantic bliss, such as Romeo and Juliet, except for pointing out the weakness of such thoughts in a "victim". If your are one of these people I suggest you read the book to notice the signs of being seduced. There are countless comparisons of seduction and warfare scattered through out the text. Personally, I acquired the book in order to understand what had went wrong in previous relationships and was very pleased to find the answers in these masterfully written pages. The book begins by listing several archetypes of seducers such as the Charmer, the Coquette, and the Rake. You are to find which one of these qualities fits you, use it to your advantage and learn to recognize these traits in other people. There is also a very useful section on anti-seductive qualities which you must root out from your character. Following the types of seducers is a section on the types of victims ranging from Reformed Rake or Siren to New Prudes. After the introductory lessons of seducers and victims comes the meat of the book which breaks seduction down into 24 steps. For every seducer, victim, and step of the seduction process there is at least one example and several sidenotes. The key to a successful seduction is not giving the victim what they THINK they want, but getting to know them well enough that you can supply what they need. This book is written extremely well and is easy to follow and apply. However, several readers will view the book as too amoral. Without a doubt the information provided is held to no standards of morality or society. The way you use the information is at your own discretion, personally I am now able to recognize others applying seduction to gain something from me and I have employed some of The Art of Seduction tactics to improve personal relationships. In life, you decide whether to be the wolf that preys on the sheep or the sheep who simply exists. If nothing more this book will provide validation for several of the questions you may have about people around you and whether they are a sheep, a wolf, or a wolf in sheep's clothing. Mr. Greene doesn't use the analogy of wolf and sheep but I think it helps to convey the message. If you wish to interact with society I suggest you read this book and apply it's message. That is unless you are a completely contented person and have no kind of psychological hang-ups, in which case the contents of this book are much less relevant. However I doubt there are many of you reading this who can honestly claim to have complete happiness. As Robert Greene states, people who are content and psychologically stable have little chance of being seduced.

Summary: Knowledge is Power
Comment: I was a little skeptical of this book when I first got it but I was pleasantly surprised. The author really seems to have studied history and psychology very deeply. His insights into the unconscious drives and archetypes are spectacular.
This book is not just a primer for wannabe Casanova's but also good for defensive purposes. When I got this book I was actually under "attack" by a would-be seducer. Had this enchanting young lady only wanted sex there wouldn't have been a problem, but she wanted to enslave me for other reasons. This book allowed me to see what was going on and enabled me to break the spell before it was too late.
If you want to use the knowledge in this book for your own seductions keep in mind that it takes a great deal of self-discipline to seduce someone. You must be master of yourself first before you can master someone else. It is very difficult for instance to do a strategic "withdraw" from the object of your desire when every fiber of your being wants to be with them. But if you can control yourself and trust the process I think the knowledge in this book can help anyone seduce the object of his or her desire.
