I got this book in audio format from a rental site. I was so excited about it. Had been wanting to read it/listen to it for sometime. Enthusiastically I started listening to it and I got 1/2 way through, till I lost interest, was distracted and turned my attentions to other things. It is not anything like what I imagined it'd be. It is a lot like a dictionary definition of seduction, with famous people used to show what the various types and forms of seduction are. Say a lesson plan on "learning how to be a seducer from those who lived before you". It offers some interesting information, but hard to finish.

This book was a lot of blah blah blah . He should have condensed it some and made it more to the point and psychologically scientifically proven. He also misused the word Schizophrenic as if it were an adjective and misrepresented it when what he really was referring to was multiple personality/dissociative personality disorder. What I gained from this reading was some historical seduction references and the art of dragging out a simple concept.

I dislike how it would describe a subject and would get interrupted with a quotation that was irrelevant. The consistency of this book, kept throwing my main focus on and off the story since it would jump to another story from a different era.
