Yay or nay?

Nay, most of his books are built around an inferior set of routines and materials that is based on nothing. Read the DJ Bible and work on yourself. If you lack friends and are considered socially awkward(not saying that you are), it's better to work on those feats instead of learning yourself a bunch of routines that will eventually come back and bite you in the ass.

DJ Bible and the Book of Pook are all you need. And practice, a lot of practice.

Absolutely yes..

Great reads. His writing is impeccible. Everything from the word choice to the way the stories are laid out are incredible.

The game is a story - Rules of the Game is a handbook/guide. I would suggest the former over the latter; Rules of the Game is more for people that are really slow/dumb with women and need serious advice on how to get things rolling. But The Game is a must-read.... It walks you through Neil's life and his journey to becoming a man basically.

Agree about the DJ Bible. But I've found that books that give me examples, which I can then personalize, are just as helpful.

The DJ Bible is like the Macro version, these are the overarching concepts, the routines type stuff is the micro, what to do in specific situations, and it gives a guy that isn't terribly creative a little bit of a base to work off of, and by extension a little bit of extra confidence.

I'm not a fan of following routines, but everyone needs some go to stuff in case they are stuck.

Just my personal experience, though.

"The Game" is an excellent read. Definitely yay.

"Rules" was alright. It's no different than the DJ Bootcamps on the forum here, and the forum is free...

"The Game" - entertaining read, more for fun than to learn anything.

"Rules" - never read it.

"The Game" is hilarious to read through. Don't know much about "The Rules" but if its like the brief on Amazon I'd say use the DJ Bible here for free and read anything by Senior Fingers.
