The Art of Picking Up Girls
A brand-new contemporary novel from bestselling author Eric Walters Still reeling from a breakup with his long-term girlfriend, Graham Fox is less than thrilled to have to move to a new city and switch schools for senior year. But his decision to keep his head down and just get through the year is quickly challenged by Ethan Frost, former basketball player and trouble maker, whose talent at getting girls to go out with him is unmatched. In fact, he seems to have it down to an infallible science. Almost. Graham soon finds himself playing the role of wingman, as Ethan plunges them into a whirlwind of all-ages clubs, diners, support groups -- anywhere there's a chance to meet girls. Distracted from his own pain, Graham finds himself absorbing the "lessons" from Ethan, turning meeting girls into a game. That is, until he meets someone who challenges everything Ethan has taught him.

About the author
Eric Walters
165 books921 followersEric was born in Toronto in 1957, which makes him "real old". But, as Eric says, "Just because I have to grow old doesn't mean that I have to grow up!" In his many roles as parent, teacher, social worker, youth sports coach and writer he is in constant contact with children and young adults. He draws from these experiences and feels that this helps him to capture the realistic interaction between young people—the conflicts, tensions, stresses and interests that make up their lives.
Eric began his writing as a teacher. He taught in classes from kindergarten up and his stories often reflect the curriculum that he was teaching. He always read stories—picture books and novels—to his students and this helped him to understand what children liked, responded to, and were inspired by. He enjoys the enthusiasm of his students and often looks at them to provide him with the inspiration to pursue a particular topic in both the classroom and in his writing.
Eric tries to write every day. When he has a story idea he starts with research. This could involve reading books, watching a documentary, or trying to experience the things that his characters are going to go through. This could include rock climbing or riding white water (for Stars), spending time in a wheelchair (Rebound), playing and walking with tigers (Tiger by the Tail), hanging around a tough biker bar (Diamonds in the Rough), standing out in his backyard in a blizzard wearing a T-shirt and shorts (Trapped in Ice), or traveling to Africa (Alexandria of Africa).
"The most important thing anybody ever told me about writing was to write what you know . . . and the only way to get to know things is to do your homework and research before you write," Eric stated.
Once the writing begins the story is always playing around in his head. He takes any opportunity, even if it's just a few minutes between presentations, to put things down, either with pen and paper or on his laptop.
Prior to entering teaching and writing Eric was a social worker (B.S.W., M.S.W., B.A.Hons—specialized major psychology). He worked in a variety of settings including child welfare, private practice, a mental health centre, and, for twenty years on a part-time basis as a Crisis Social Worker in an emergency department. He stopped teaching 4 years ago and left the ER only last year.
The majority of Eric's time is spent in the company of his wife, children and dogs (Lola a big standard poodle and a little white dog named Winnie the Poodle).

Another great book by Eric Walters. This one follows Graham and his adventures with his new friend, smooth talking lady killer, Ethan. The rapport between Graham and Ethan was often funny and witty.
The only thing I thought was odd was that at times the dialogue felt a little unrealistic. I've never met teenage boys that talked so politely to each other, or were so honest about their feelings. I mean it would be nice if this was the norm but as such it isn't, and it took me out of the story a little. Overall I did have fun reading this, it was a sweet and short read. 3.5/5

3 stars. It was good, but could have been better. I liked this book up until the end! TOO MUCH DRAMA AND STUFF GOING ON!

This book was really great for me. It was like a John Green book but more for guys. I would recommend it to any males who enjoy reading the genre every so often. It’s very character heavy and slightly predictable but it worked extremely well still.

I love the writing style and everything flowed nicely. I'm also glad the characters learned their lesson.

Have you ever loved a book in spite of a character (or character’s) behaviour?
That’s how I felt about Eric Walters book, “The Art of Picking Up Girls (And Other Dangerous Things)”
Our story follows high school senior Graham Fox, who recently got broken up with by his long-term girlfriend, Jennifer (who promptly got together with his now-ex best friend Elmer) and if that wasn’t bad enough, his father got a promotion at work, meaning that Graham has to relocate and three weeks into senior year, he finds himself the new kid at school.
But Graham’s fortunes change when the popular, handsome and charismatic Ethan Frost is chosen to serve as his guide, and as the two form a friendship, Ethan attempts to help Graham get over his broken heart. Graham becomes his wingman, and the two frequent all-ages clubs, the mall, and even the supermarket. Basically anywhere they can meet girls.
But Ethan’s methods are far from usual, and Graham begins to have second thoughts, especially after meeting Raine, a girl who might just be worth throwing all the rules and theories Ethan has taught him.
Okay, so I LOVED this book! Which, seeing as how I LOVE Eric Walters, is no surprise at this point. His writing is simple but effective and it draws you in from the very first page. He also has a way of putting lessons and morals in his books without coming across as heavy-handed or preachy. He can even make you have empathy and compassion for an otherwise irredeemable character, which is something he does to great effect here.
Ethan Frost is one of the most selfish, manipulative characters I have EVER read in a book, and the way he has turned picking up girls into some kind of game is reprehensible. I highly dislike him and his behaviour throughout the vast majority of this book, but once Eric gives his backstory, I found it hard NOT to have a bit of empathy and compassion for him.
Such is just one of the brilliant aspects of Eric’s writing, and the message about being authentically yourself, is one that’s important.
This was definitely an interesting read, a bit different from most other Eric Walters books, but no less brilliant! He’s my favourite author for a reason, and he has crafted another polarizing but engaging story here.

It's almost like a teenage version of Barney and Ted's runs in the wingman series. The characters are highly relateable and hilarious. While it wasn't anything out of the ordinary, the prose andd the flow of the story ensured that I do not put the book for the next hour or so of my picking it. Ethan's backstory, while not uncommon, surely tugged at my heartstrings. Graham Fox, on the other hand, (bless his soul) is not unlike many of us: reeling from a bad break-up and trying to seek ways to mend his lil' heart. If you're looking for something to keep you entertained for the next hour or so, this is the book for you.

An unbelievably entertaining and worth while book. It's funny, and makes you think. It reads nicely and worth the time. Glad to say that I teared up during the last chapter and I would be shocked if someone could say they didn't!
January 29, 2017
This was a nice read more 3.5 stars.
Graham Fox has just moved to a new town when he meets Ethan Frost and Ethan is funny somewhat special he's a dick too but also genius. So there were times where I wanted to strangle but Ethan he made me laugh to and some of his crazy shit did sound logical.
Graham is a good guy. I liked the way his character developed and that he stayed true to his new friendship.

This was a change in what Eric Walters typically writes (or at least of what I have read of his work). At first I was disappointed and the book didn’t seem to be going anywhere and then it took off in an unexpected (based on EW’s other novels) but expected (given my love for this type of plot) direction. The plot continued to turn and twist right up until the last chapter. It was an excellent read.

Dnf'd after chapter 2. I am not actually the kind of reader to dnf a book. In fact, this would be the first one. I just couldn't finish it. No way. The characters, the dialogues, nothing felt good to me.
I won't discourage anyone from reading it just because I didn't like it. Go on, judge your own way.

The first few chapters didn't catch my attention but by chapter 4 I was into it. I actually didn't pick up the book for a few days but today picked it back up and finished it and loved it.
I loved all the characters but my only complaint is that we don't get to find out more about Ethan! I definitely recommend this book.

The Art That True Love Seeks
Review by: Judy Lee
Walter, Eric. The Art Of Picking Up Girls. Ontario: Penguin Group, 2016. Print.
This is not only a guide on how to pick up girls, but a book that explores what true love really is. Eric Walters transforms a basic romance plot to a whole new level with a twist in the middle and makes the audience curious to what is going to happen next, and a heartwarming ending that is impossible to fault.
Graham Fox, wants to get over a breakup, and Ethan Frost helps his friend though this breakup. Graham is a new arrival to the town and must start everything fresh, new friends, new school and especially new personality. When Ethan approaches Graham as a heartbroken friend, he wants to teach him the way to get girls and not get his heart broken again. Graham is blinded by his heartbreak so he follows along, not even realizing that what he is doing is wrong. He follows everything that Ethan is doing and he thinks he is doing the right thing because he is not the one that ends up hurt. As he becomes better and better, he and Ethan try their technique on a new set of girls. Little does Graham know, that one girl would be the one that challenges him on everything that Ethan taught him.
Graham just wants to get over his heartbreak, but instead, he became a totally new person with a new personality. Graham was one who thought true love is everything he wanted and he will only date someone he feels attracted to. But after he met Ethan, all of it changed. He was an innocent boy who never wanted to hurt anyone’s feeling, but now, he does not think twice about leaving a girl he only saw once in his life. In the beginning, Graham though thinking what he and Ethan were doing was wrong and they “shouldn’t be doing this, [he] should apologize that we only played them”(8) but after a few more days, he only judges a girl by the way she looks, what she is wearing, etc. Ethan is no better. He has a talent of picking up girls, going out on one date, then ditching them the next minute. He made a whole science on how girls feel, how to make them love you first, and how to do it so that he does not get hurt in the end. Ethan goes anywhere and tries to get any girl he wants. From diners, to clubs, to support-groups, anywhere where there might be girls. There is no stopping him, until Graham makes a stand in a way that Ethan never imagined.
The Art Of Picking Up Girls shows that true love can happen anywhere and can overcome everything. Even though Graham and Ethan does many horrible things to many girls, they ended up getting hit in the head for everything they have done. This book tells everyone has another half in their world, everyone deserves to have love no matter who they are or what they have done. Graham was a mess when his girl left him, so he was blinded by fear of being heartbroken again. As a result, he does many horrible things with Ethan. But he ends up with something amazing that he never dreamt of. Ethan ended up in the same fate, but with a different situation. This book can open a person’s eyes to see what true love is, and how true love really behaves. Forgiving one another and always trusting the lover no matter what happens.
This book is a four out of five in my opinion because it foreshadows the next chapter for most parts, but there are some unbelievable twists throughout the book. It grabs the readers’ attention and make them want to read the next chapter. Even though some parts are predictable, it has an amazing plot that escalates when you least expect it. It shows many small problems that lead up to the main plot in a way the reader cannot describe. The genre is romance, but it is also a very suspenseful book. I think almost all romance readers will love this book

Graham Fox has just moved from a small town where the high school had 400 students to a larger city with a high school filled with 2500 of them. The good thing about the move is that he is away from his ex girlfriend who broke up with him and started dating his former best friend. Unfortunately he is now in a position where he has no friends and it is his last year of high school. Luckily, shortly after his arrival, Ethan Frost introduced himself as Graham's guide. Ethan was kicked off the football team for some tomfoolery he took credit for, and his punishment is to show Graham around.
Ethan is a charismatic individual. Shortly after they meet, he introduces Graham to the game of picking up and dating as many girls as possible. First, the two of them rate girls based on their looks. Then they attempt to connect with the 'hottest' of them and go out on a date. This whole process is predicated on mastering the art of the con as the two boys give false names and make up stories about themselves. There is also an implicit 'boys will be boys' attitude that leads to their treating young women as objects. This is justified because these 'kinds' of girls deserve what they get. Yet as the game progresses the two boys end up going to different places where they meet up with vulnerable girls and even this rationale gets lost. Even if the girls don't deserve it, they justify their actions because they are doing them a favour by showing them a good time.
The problem occurs when Graham meets Raine at a farmers market. Raine is an animal rights activists. She isn't 'hot' in the way the two boys have been looking at girls. Nonetheless Graham falls hard for her. Unfortunately he lied about his name and who he is, and Raine's most important priority in a boyfriend is honesty.
There is a lot I really liked about this book. Both of these characters are well-developed and complex. Ethan Frost, while shallow at the onset becomes a very good friend with endearing qualities and a sympathetic backstory. I like that the novel is filled with smart and witty repartee.
I appreciate that these two boys manage to learn the error of their ways but I am troubled by the game itself and their rationale for making young women the objects of their game. There's this subtext that girls who the boys have rated as 'hot' are shallow. I accept that the girl who Graham finally falls for is appreciated for who she is, other than her looks, but we're all still left with that message that those so-called hot girls got what they deserved, and don't have value other than their looks.
What I think is that this would be an interesting book to foster conversations with students about misogyny, their attitudes about gender and their relationships with each other.

The Art of Picking Up Girls, by Eric Walters, was a bit of a disappointment for me. Graham Fox has to start over 3 weeks into his senior year of high school after his father is transferred, and that’s on the heels of his long-time girlfriend breaking up with him and immediately starting to date his best friend. He is befriended by Ethan, who like Graham just wants to avoid serious relationships. He takes Graham under his wing, sharing his theories on women and dating, dragging Graham into a series of games and adventures where the truth is nowhere to be found and it’s okay to hurt others as long as you protect your own heart. At least until Graham meets Raine.
I found I couldn’t trust Ethan. I hated all the games and lying. Not too surprisingly, I was on the side of the girls who were lied to. The more time Graham spent with Ethan, the less I liked him. I didn’t really feel his attraction to Raine; they were just words on a page. Truthfully, I didn’t feel much of anything in terms of emotion save for irritation and anger. The book was strangely flat in the emotion department. I also found the writing and dialogue to be awkward at times. The situations, despite being unique, felt repetitive because there was no depth to what was happening. Worst of all for me, the reason behind Ethan’s behaviour—if you ignore his relationship with his father, which honestly didn’t seem to impact Ethan anyway—once revealed, was so incredibly weak that I wanted to stop reading. It certainly didn’t seem to support his extreme level of detachment and jadedness, or if it did, it didn’t translate for me. And Ethan went WAY TOO FAR with his interference.
At the end of the day, I don’t feel like I knew what sort of person Ethan, Raine, or Graham were until the very end of the book, and by that point, I didn’t care. It was too little too late.

Once in a while it is good to try reading teen fiction to stay current with teenagers. When Graham moves to a big city and befriends womanizer Ethan, he is intrigued by his new friend's ability with females. At times their language is a bit difficult to believe while they manipulate a series of young women. Did enjoy his relationship with Raine, who seems more mature than both of the boys put together.

I'm not sure how I should review this book. It's a YA book which I didn't know when I purchased it. I wanted to just finish the book. It was ok but could have been better.
I found myself not trusting Ethan. I hated all the games and lying. I felt sorry for the girls who got lied to. I didn't feel any emotion and found the book flat.

So cute. It really comments on how hypocritical we are in our shallowness. We say it's personality and inner beauty that counts, when we are superficial, judgy and refuse to accept the ugly, inside and out.

There was a lot of drama going on with this book. I liked it but the story could've improved more.

I normally really like Eric Walters' novels. This one, not so much. The secondary character, Ethan was a scumbag who was mean to girls and the main character, Graham, seemed sort of oblivious. I asked a high school student about the book and he really liked it... so there you go... students may like it. The writing was excellent, as always.
October 7, 2017
If you liked Barney from How I met your mother, you will love this book. It was humorous, and I loved the different plays that were involved with picking up girls. Anything Eric Walters is a guaranteed 5/5 stars and overall this book was a lot of fun, and just what I needed.
