A MUST READ (ONLY FOR OPEN MINDED PEOPLE, I MUST WARN) - By: B. Ladipo, 09 May 2008 
Looking at how Richard La Ruina crafted his book, it is very easy to assume that he exaggerated on some of the stories he wrote. I have to say that I agree with this to a certain extent.
But the moral of the story here is not how true some of the stories he narrates in the book are. The real moral of the story is that some of the things this guy recommends are true. Whether he copied them from someone else or not, it does not in any way take away the truth from some of the tips he recommends.
I did not buy this book because I had a problem talking to women. I would not want to say I am an expert at the subject., but If I check my history, I surely do not have a problem chatting up women.
I have to say since I read the book I have been able to learn tricks most of my friends don't know.
For example, how many times do you go on a night out & you see guys with their hands in their pocket alll acting cool & when the party is over the leave as they come. I went to a party the other day & I tried been extra sociable, truth is it got me more attention than I ever had. I broke a conversation of three girls & a boring guy. One guy even had the guts to say to me that :
"You are everywhere, man. Chatting everything in skirt".
my response was:
"Am I suppose to be chatting anything in trousers?"
I know enough of women to understand that most of them don't go for boring guys & as for reviewers suggesting that women go for looks alll I have to say is that they are as shalllow as their thinking.
Richard got it spot on regarding the few tricks guys miss
Eye contact: A huge problem in the social circle. Most men are busy asking their guy friends, "I think that girl likes me", when they should be approaching the girl that is showing interest.
Generic dressing: First impressions matter. Countless of times, I have noticed girls gave me extra attention when I dress nice. It makes me stand out & this was before I read this book.
Holding interesting & connecting conversations: So many men find it hard to get a girl to be interested in them, they are always waiting for a day when a girl likes them for who they are. Wonder why you don't get the kind of girls you desire.
I met two girls yesterday at my school bar. I had chat up one of them recently & she happened to be there with her girl friend who I had seen briefly. When I entered the school bar they were a few metres away from three of my male friends. I went straight to them & started chatting to them & this time around I focused on the girl I had met briefly because I did not know her as much as the first girl.
Subconsciously I used some of the tricks recommended by Richard, things like creating a connection by using hooks, eye contact, showing more interest in the girl's hobbies & passions in life. It worked wonders because I came out knowing the girl more & found out we were from the same country.
While I was doing this I was been gestured to by my male friends. They were teasing me & I figured out they were interested in the girls. When the girls left the bar, they came over & told me they like them. I wonder what stopped them. What I have got to understand is that in life YOU HAVE GUYS WHO GO FOR IT AND GUYS WHO JUST SIT THERE ACTING COOL
The funniest thing about this is that I did this before I got to read the part about how to make a conversation with a girl interesting.
All this made me believe that Richard La Ruina's book is worth a read & recommend it to people who are humble enough to understand that WE AS MEN HAVE EGO's AND IS THAT SAME EGO THAT MAKES US NOT BELIEVE THE SIMPLE THINGS THAT MAKE LIFE EASIER!!!!!!!
Deceitful dishonest b******* - By: J. Hudson, 27 Apr 2008 
Where do I start? Front cover is enough to give the game away, when you look at Richard La Ruina, he's a model!! This guy had trouble dating women, no way! His story does not ring true, awkward, shy, yeah I bet the girls were put off by that, they go for looks, because there as shalllow as we are! Some tips of his are laughable, wear decent clothes? As though dressing down was the secret, & get a decent hair cut, because, if people aren't talking about your haircut, it must be a bad one, nearly fell off my chair with that one.He mentions NLP, well if you study NLP, you'll find the same techniques in his book as well, it's callled a double whammy, he's re-written the same old stuff as NLP. Pick Up Artists are after one thing & that is to get laid ASAP, how they get there is dubious, because it's not about relationships at alll it's about notches on the bedpost, women are just numbers in the end. If that's what you want, I doubt you'll get there with this load of rubbish. Try some other book, not this one.
Not as good as Mystery Method - By: Michael Tveden Gundesen, 26 Apr 2008 
This book is ok i gues the tips is somewhat usefull, but Its not the 5 star book that so many describes. It is tips & methods mixed with the "evolution of a natural" which is boring bragging about "why i am better than anybody else at this" not worth reading. It still gets 3 stars as the other part is good written with humor,and the few illustrations are very good & explaining.
Chose MM over this.
Fantastic, a must read! - By: T. Clark, 04 Apr 2008 Following on from the success of `the game', comes `The Natural Art of Seduction' by Richard La Ruina (Gambler). The format of the book takes two roots...it is on one hand a self help, or `how to' book, but on the other... it is also a fascinating story about a shy, social inept guy who transforms himself into London's premier Casanova.
The book is well written & breaks down the outlined seduction skills & explains them simply. Throughout the book Richard uses diagrams & step-by-step approaches to deliver his method clearly & concisely. Unlike `the game' the book has plenty of useable lines & techniques. Since the book takes a natural approach to seduction it's also pretty light on cheesy routines a gimmicks. .
In short, a great intro into the world of seduction. The book is filled with useful information & the story of Richards transformation from zero-to-hero, is inspirational.
Perhaps, the only must have book on seduction. 10/10. Highly recommended!
Well worth a read - By: Mr. M. T. Ridley, 29 Mar 2008 
I advise any man (or woman) to read this book, wether single or in a relationship. The advice contained within will doubtless help to make you more attractive to the opposite sex-there are very informative sections on dress sense & body language, as well as advice with what to say & how to say it. I wish I had read this 18 moths ago!
Te author is very giving of himself & describes the process he went through to get 'from zero to hero'. This includes his trials & tribulations which I found quite illuminating.
One criticism I had was that the book doesn't go into enough detail in certain areas. Even so, I recommend checking this book before you next go out on the town! Or decide you want to get married......
