30 Bangs: The Shaping Of One Man's Game From Patient Mouse To Rabid Wolf

30 Bangs: The Shaping Of One Man's Game From Patient Mouse To Rabid Wolf is the story of Roosh's evolution as a pickup artist told in 30 vignettes from his earlier days. Roosh recounts these times that shaped his understanding of pickup and taught him the value of lines and logistics. Within any activity repeated with different subjects, patterns emerge. 30 Bangs is about those patterns and the commonalities in the things that led to successes or failures. Beyond that it's also a damn good read. The only complaint I have is that some of the stories are told in sparse journalistic prose because they happened years ago and he doesn't remember every detail. The lessons of even these stories are still readily apparent so the purpose does not suffer. This book provides a great companion to Bang as it illustrates many of the tenets established in that book. If you are looking to master pickup, this is essential.
