His name is actually spelled "Neil Strauss" and there are several topics about this already started. By using the "Search" feature on the forum I found a few you may want to check out.
I can tell you there are tons of reviews on this. I think it's a good story of his accounts to what happened in the beginning with him, Mystery, and others. You have to realize the book is written in Neils view and some of the characters are "composite" characters. So basically since the book wouldn't have 101 people in it, they condensed some of them. Because of that it is a little inaccurate at points in the book.
This is not a "how to" book.
Still it's a good story of going from AFC to PUA to Master PUA and having some realizations about things. Just remember although based on "True Events" this book is still fiction category. Also, most of us consider it somewhat the bible in the community. Think even looks like a bible. LOL.
