As Hypno's review shows, the less existing game knowledge/experience you have, the more you'll get out of the book. It's intended for beginners and intermediates, though advanced players should still get a lot of new ideas.

Yeah, I still benefited from large sections of the book, and I'm probably 12 years older than Roosh. The relationship and overseas chapters could be mini-books, or you could expand them into full books. But even the stuff that is review is worth reading, because of Roosh's conversational style.

I should have added there are extensive sections of dialaoge. This would have been great when I was starting out. It really makes it seem easy, effortless. If you have done enough openers, you don't need Roosh's.

I just got the proof copy and did a quick reading...

This review may be a bit late, but I finished listening to the audio version of a review copy of "Game" earlier today. The only Roosh book I've previously purchased was "Roosh's Argentina Compendium" right before my trip to Buenos Aires four years ago, and I mainly bought it for the neighborhood and venue recommendations rather than the game aspects since I was going down there to visit a girl I knew from undergrad. You could say that the content in "Game" was essentially new material for me, and I really enjoyed listening to it.

I would consider my own level of game somewhere between beginner and intermediate, so I learned a lot from every chapter. My favorite ones were "Internal Game", "Approaching", and "Relationships". The "Internal Game" chapter appealed to me because it focuses on creating a belief system to form a strong internal core, which is an approach I'd never considered before when it came to dating and meeting women. Accomplishing this important step prevents threats to improvement and success such as discouragement, defeatism, and general negativity throughout the process of learning and implementing game, and I appreciate the idea that this needs to be accomplished before even attempting to approach or seduce a woman. I think it's even important to have for areas in your life outside of women as well.

The "Approaching" chapter was not only insightful, but extremely entertaining as well. I've often relied on social circle and online game in the past so I found it particularly informative about different ways to successfully approach women in person, both directly and indirectly. I'm currently in a mini-relationship, but after listening to this chapter I've been looking for more opportunities to (indirectly) approach women since I live in a big city and there's lots of chances to day game regularly if one chooses to. Another thing about this chapter - Roosh's use of female voices to mimick dialogue from women is HILARIOUS (not to mention the dialogue itself). This by itself is honestly worth purchasing the audio book for, it'll give you a big belly laugh several times. It definitely made it hard for me to go running while listening to the chapter on more than one occasion.

I'd have to say the "Relationships" chapter was the one I liked the most. Earlier this year I ended a three-year relationship, and this chapter helped me understand many of the different mistakes I made such as selecting who to get into an LTR with as well as attraction killers and other complicated aspects of LTR's (conflicts, compliance tests, nagging, etc.). It's particularly helpful for my current situation as well, as I continue to evaluate whether the woman I'm currently seeing meets the requirements to be considered a long-term prospect (spoiler alert - I've discovered too many red flags for her to ever progress into serious territory). I only wish I'd been able to discover these insights earlier, but I'm grateful Roosh has put this material out there as a reminder that the game doesn't end once you enter into a relationship, even if it's a casual one.

A final thought, which has also been mentioned before - I'll definitely be buying a hardcopy of the book because I think one can get the most out of it in combination with the audio version. There are quite a few nuggets of good information that I'm looking forward to reviewing once I have the book in written form. I absolutely love the cover design as well, I felt like it was the best choice of all the different options.

Regardless of your level of game, this is a book where every man can gain some insight by reading it. It truly encompasses the full circle of any potential interaction with a woman, and it serves as a good reminder of pitfalls to avoid once a man starts to get too comfortable and let his guard down in a relationship/marriage.

Great job, Roosh. Congratulations on the upcoming book release as well.

Diop is not fucking kidding when he states that his current fling is a walking, talking red flag. In fact, she ought to have one of those red hurricane warning flags tattooed to her ass. One day I'll urge him to post her story so it can be dissected. A case study of sorts. Would be very enlightening.

Ordered a copy on Amazon tonight!!!

[louiebeans]

Congrats on your accomplishment Roosh, the book looks amazing! I will proudly display this on my bookshelf.

Roosh, is this really your last game book?

I believe so. In the future I don't expect to be gaming so much that I have another book's worth of content to share. I will still do game articles/videos.

Looking forward to getting a physical copy and reading in public. Will be interesting to see the looks when people see the cover. Maybe I’ll get asked by a man in need or an intrigued girl. Think it could go one of two ways.

[Roosh]

The paperback will be priced at $25 on Amazon and include the Kindle edition for free (through Amazon's Matchbook program). Originally I was going to price it at $23, but then I realized that you get free shipping at $25, so it'll probably end up saving you a couple bucks if you checkout with only the book.

I did choose a "social" cover that may invite conversation. Even though the PUA cover with the day gamer got a higher rating on the cover poll, the tree cover is more inviting.

Correction: The Matchbook price will be $0.99. I have to charge something for it to count as a "sale", or I don't get a bump in my sales rankings.

[Marmite]

Just ordered my copy. I'm looking forward to reading it.

[Avadhuta]

Will the book be available on Kobo? I don't do Amazon.

Yes, and iTunes too. But it may be a few days after launch.

[Teedub]

Just ordered from amazon uk. Will post a heavily condensed version of my essay on page 2 once received so that it's a 'verified purchase'. Will gladly show off on my bookshelf.

[HighSpeed_LowDrag]

Just preordered my Kindle copy. Looking forward to reading it.

[Mess O.]

Just ordered my copy . . .

[BlackFriar]

Amazon tracking says it will be delivered on Wendsday! Fast shipping.

[Marmite]

My copy arrived today. I've read the first chapter, and will work through the rest of the book over this coming week.

[Castelnau]

I pre-ordered the Kindle edition on Amazon. It won't be ready until Sep 7.

[The Catalyst]

Based on your recommendation, I went and got Convict Conditioning. Seems pretty solid, after a week or two. I'd already done a lot of this with my prior gymnastics background but it's good to round the edges.

[Conquerer7]

Copy just arrived via Amazon. Think i'll take my time and read a chapter a day. The book looks even better in person.

[Roosh]

Technically the book is not officially released.

I know it's on Amazon but I want to present all the buying options on the same day (Friday).

[arafat scarf]

The book is already listed as a #1 New Release in Amazon's Love & Romance category.

Highly anticipating its arrival on my Kindle list this Friday.

[Mess O.]

Arrived today. Right out of the package, I started flipping through it before I even sat down.

[ricosuave]

Great work Roosh! The cover looks captivating, do you know if its better to get on audible or iBooks audio?
