Review Detail

I read the book cover to cover as soon as it came out. Then I read it once again over the last weekend.
I think The Game is the worst kind of book possible:
There is enough good information and insights that it must be read. And given the nature of the game, more than once too, since more of it will make sense the second thime through.
However, to get to the good parts you must wade through tons of soap opera drama ('and then blah, blah slept with blah, blah's girlfriend, which pissed off so and so, who wanted to get even... SNORE). And then you need to put up with Niel's melancholy and cynicism which he rarely even has the decency to wrap in humor. And then one wonders how much of it is even true!
Unfortunately, a must read since the main points, and occasion nuggets of PU wisdom can't be skipped.
I just wish it had been written better. And maybe made it 1/3 the length.
5/10.
