I figure that The Game would provide some sense of a new discovery of many of the things taught in Mystery Method, and reading MM afterwards would solidify my understanding of the principles of TG, however after reading 50-some pages into TG already I noticed that there's many aspects of the game that are mentioned yet never entirely explained. That's why I also think reading MM first would benefit me in that I will know all the material and terminology beforehand so that when I read the game I won't be thinking "Huh?" half the time, and maybe even be able to critique Style's methods. Anyone got an opinion on this?

For me, reading TG and then TMM worked well. But I really dont think it matters.

I'd read The Game first. It's not really meant to be a guide to seduction as much as it is the story of one of the greatest PUAs. However, it's going to give you much insight on what exactly your're getting into in the long run and what kind of people you're going to meet along the way.

Def read the Game first...

I just recently purchased the MM and it is more like a step-by-step attack book. The Game is an over-view of the situation, where he was, what happened...etc...

Great read even overall...

Depends on what you want to do.

Do you want to learn how to be a PUA or do you want to be entertained?

If you are here, I am sure it is to be a PUA.

Ditch the game, go for something else. Read it after you know what you are doing.
