My only rule: never fall in love at the Jersey Shore.

Young women should read this book as a heads-up to the ploys men might try to pull on them...

[Julia Vaitkeviciute · Rating 5 out of 5]

Would give this 6/5 if I could. This book is a riot, I laughed out loud countless times. Don't read it if you think this will help you seduce women (even though it might, if you're smart enough). Read it for laughs, it is satire after all.

It's a great book but all the schemes are kinda rudimentary, it's the most basic stuff. Maybe this used to be revolutionary but in today's scape they are nothing unique, nothing you don't already know.
It's no Barney Stinson's Playbook, that book will take you places you never knew existed.

This is the second “game” book that I’ve read. The other one was The Game by Neil Strauss. While that one was a basically a big pile of bullshit because Strauss and his gang were in the business of offering “workshops” to men, Casanova (sounds like a nom de plume) mostly attempts to be funny and, well, Machiavellian. I got the book for one penny (plus shipping and handling) from a seller in Amazon, but Casanova tells me in the book that it’s worth its weight in gold to me. The book is actually quite funny and outrageous. And for anyone willing to be put aside any sort of moral qualms, it should have some good advice. Casanova makes it clear that the point of the book is The List, not moral rectitude. Deception and manipulation work wonders – on women and men.

I got this book from my ex girlfriend of all people. It's chock full of idiotic advice, but the blatantly sexist tone is great for a laugh. Best tip: Pretend to be a foreigner. Runner up: Always try to be seen catching a football or doing something "active."

sexist. somewhat funny. boring at times. some of the shit that I already practice and not enough from Machiavelli.
