It is about the flow of power between sexually alive people and no means to be compared with the ‘game’ genre of Neil Strauss and others even if Strauss (now a ‘reformed character’) once recommended the book to his ‘seduction community’. For better or worse (depending on your stance), Greene is persuasive that seduction is a game between equal partners where the ‘victim’ is willing enough because of what they will get out of the process. ![]() Unfortunately for those determined to be ‘nice’ in the world, there is scarcely a line in this book that does not ring true. ![]() Almost hypnotically repetitively at times, The Art of Seduction might be the book that Machiavelli could have written about love if he had been a jaded modern.
