The book isn't really about sexual/romantic seduction, despite how it's sold.
I see it more as a guide to creating seductive ideologies, and it's better as a companion to the 48 Laws, because it gives you a wide range of character archetypes to exploit or model yourself on.
This.
If you're looking for practical executable pickup advice, this isn't the book.
Greene's book is about broader seduction - how ideas, personalities, and political movements seduce us. If you were trying to slowly turn a longtime friend into a lover, the advice isn't bad. If you were a celebrity trying to craft a new image, the ideas aren't bad. And if you want to read a lot of interesting history and stories, it's a great book.
If you're looking to bang a girl in under an hour, this isn't the book. If you want to slowly LTR someone, might be some good advice.
