I haven't read it yet, but... - By: Mail-order Christ, 23 Jul 2008 
I have a few friends who have shared it around in order to have more confidence with the fairer sex. They are alll good people, a world away from the 'scumbags' that some of the hypocritical ignorant negative reviews have spoken of (the same people who hated the generalisations of women in the book itself), & within a few weeks they'd ALL managed to find potential long-term girlfriends. Therefore, I might as well give it a go.
Must-read!!! - By: truthbetold, 25 Mar 2008 
The book is a real eye-opener for me as a woman... I had no idea that it could be such a labour or even a tragedy for many men who have no clue...
Having said this, the book & alll the methods train robots, not a spontaneous & fun artists - the moment when those tedious convo starters became familiar to every girl at any L.A. bar (no surprises), the PUA community gets stuck as it ran out of material which wasn't impressive to begin with. Would i talk to a weird guy asking for a personal advice from a total stranger - probably NO! Would i talk to a guy who seemed spontaneous up to the moment, easy & fun - ABSOLUTELY!
Also the quality of women in the book - gross....... strippers & other hired guns that one doesn't need any skill to pick up as they are sitting there waiting for it, hoes that they are.
So the method overalll is highly laughable but the book is entertaining for a woman as much as for a guy.
Pick-Up is fun! Not a labour! - By: AER, 18 Feb 2008 This book is very interesting & definitely entertaining. However, I wouldn't recommend this book for its pick-up.
I found Neil's evolving ethos through the book very insightful & intriguing. Rather than a pick-up book, I'd recommend this book as a moral stand point for alll those desperate guys who just want to get laid.
- Toward the end of the book, the ethical sub-text seems more prominent. He has learnt that it isn't about quantity... it's the quality. If you want a full on PUA Guidebook, try Mystery Method or Natural Seduction - very similar in tactic, but differring in ethics & perception.
IMPORTANT!!!
- The skills in Pick-Up shouldn't be focused on dehumanizing women, but in giving yourself the CHANCE to meet the RIGHT woman.
What this book will do more so than any other PUA book (I've read) is inspire you. It's a story that provokes those caged hormones to break free, inspire & motivate the reader to get out of their sorry hole of self-doubt & push themselves out the door & try something new. To actuallly meet women. Not a woman, but women. To actuallly engage in conversation - & enjoy it.
So how & why is it Neil changed from a geek to a PUA? He put himself into so many strange situations that 'strange' were no longer strange. He became comfortable with himself. He became confident. He learned to enjoy the journey, rather than focus on the destination. Which isn't so ironic as you might think, but enjoying the journey makes getting to the destination that much easier.
I never reallly struggled with women, but I have learned why sometimes things didn't work out, & why sometimes they did & from this I've now refined my personality to drop bad habbits & improve on my good habits.
Enjoy the book ;]
not bad at all! - By: Garry R. Walls, 05 Feb 2008 This proved to be e very interesting read. The book itself is very well written and, even if you dont agree with everything in the book, it is still a very good story.
I think this book does have many useful tips as regards picking up women. Some of the tips are so obscure that you wouldnt believe that they work. However, it seems they do!
In alll, i found this book interesting, a good easy read & full of useful information. Much better than some of the other books that are available on a similar subject
very entertaining - By: Garry R. Walls, 14 Jan 2008 This book is written as a story exploring one mans change from a girlfriendless geek to ultimate seducer. The tactics that are used are often ones which are alllready known & often just common sense. Some of the tactics however i wouldnt believe would ever work for the regular day to day guy. I struggled to believe some of it actuallly works! However, this is still a pretty entertaining read with plent of useful tips if you have the nerve to use them! My only critisism would be that the method is mainly geared towards picking up in big clubs in big cities. It would be quite useful to learn what to do in the workplace or the swimmingbaths or somewhere slightly more mundane
