"I really enjoyed this book and the clinical way that it reflected upon the greatest seducers/seductresses of all time, but I do have one minor comment to make - Some things were hastily researched.
The message doesn't change, and the tactics are still the same, but a few things weren't completely fact checked. One thing that sticks out heavily in my mind was a story about how Casanova refused to marry a woman and instead found another suitable husband for the woman. Robert Greene states the reasoning - mainly one of them being age (He states that Casanova is 'Later in life' or above in years...) yet Casanova was only 23 or 24 at the time. Its a minor detail, and doesn't effect me really enjoying all of his writing, just a minor annoyance that I found.
To reiterate - if you like psychology and history this is an amazing book to read as well as all of the other Robert Greene books - just make sure you take the message away and not the perfect research."
"This is not your Karrine Steffans vixen manual..This is your comprehensive manual of how to seduce not only men but an entire empire. With this manual I have received a proposal, gained a stalker and experienced a riven heart. It was great! lol"
"damn right! 5 stars for this piece of literary genius. ok, well, that's a bit much, but when i first read it senior year in high school, it was a fun read. and since then, reading it again has been as entertaining as ever. don't take the content literally, as some fellow readers have tried and complained it doesn't work. sigh... sleazy sams. genuinely care about people, pay attention to them, and treat them how they want to be treated- i think that's all the book is trying to say, if anything at all."
