oytser 's review for:

The Art of Seduction by Robert Greene

Felt too manipulative and 'dark' for my taste. I liked the archetypes as I am a writer and like to use archetypes as jumping off points for characters, but when it started getting into the nitty gritty of the process of seduction, I reminded myself to the fact that I have a wonderful husband, and there is really only a narrow margin of the book reserved for political and social "seduction". 
I really enjoyed the historical references to a certain degree, after which I started to feel that they were becoming repetitive.
