I know there is a few other reviews on this book, but I thought I'd give my own thoughts on it. In short, GREAT READ! This book has definitely helped me out a lot, and anyone who is serious about learning the game will be helped by it as well.
It has some major differences from the old book, The Mystery Method. They go in much, MUCH further detail about social calibration. I loved the whole concept of IOI/IOD calibrators. They explained adding value and taking away value from interactions. They went into much more detail about body-language and vocal tonality, and how to calibrate with it. This book has helped me in building attraction simply through body-language alone, and really helps with showing active disinterest when approaching, allowing your success rate to soar. The whole concept of connection and flipping connection switches is revealed. They also go into much more detail about survival and replication and the overall biology behind attraction.
On top of all these concepts, they explain many of the traits that high value people naturally have as part of their personality.
My only complaint would be that they did not give much information in the same linear fashion that the Mystery Method gave. I realize that looking at the game ONLY from the strict linear equation of the M3 model is not the best approach, you need to have social intuition and not look at things from a robotic viewpoint. However, I feel that the M3 model is great in that it provides a blueprint for what to do. I feel Revelations should have put a little more emphasis on this, especially since many people who are new to the community will not have read the Mystery Method, and will not be familiar with the M3 model.
Overall it was a great book that will really provide much incite on calibration. However, I do not feel that it was so great that one would not need to read the Mystery Method. If you start with the Mystery Method, then move to Revelations and you will be in good shape.
