The best theory a man can apply to dating women.......2007-09-10
I have read The Game, God is a woman, and The Mystery method. This book is unique. The author is a screen writer and knows how to write and explain this phenomena. I would call this a new branch in science for dating women. We men are logical thinkers and he does a good job showing us a theory we can practice and use to our advantage. You'll understand clearly how we can get what we want with women by applying the four mode theory to our behaviors.
Want To Like It More Than I Do.......2007-03-27
I am struggling with this review because I like the author more than I like the book; hence I want to give it a better a rating but that would be insulting to him and to other readers.
I would not have read this book had it not been for a conversation I engaged in with the author on Mystery's page, which you can find on the discussion board on that page. At first he kind of annoyed me as he was commenting on books he hadn't read but he quickly impressed me with his follow-thru and acknowledgment that he wouldn't say more without reading the books we were discussing. That shows alot of character and class, prompting me to buy his book.
MODE ONE is refreshing in the pick up genre because it is very direct and honest. Many of the books are not honest with women although they still have some very good advice. I felt, though, that this whole book is really a 2-3 chapter concept that is dragged out for a complete book. It could really be consolidated, making more room for the author to include other ideas, concepts, and most importantly more stories. It becomes text book and while I like the marketable concept of the different modes of men, the constant use of "Mode Four" and "This guy is behaving Mode 3" and "He is exhibiting Mode Two" becomes distracting. If it was mixed up more, it would help remind us which mode is which, as the term is used so much it becomes hard to remember which is which. I'd like to hear more stories and examples from the author.
I've found Alan to be articulate in his writing on his blog and in other books message boards and commenting on other reviews on other books. Unfortunately, in his own book it becomes lost in SUDDEN capitalized WORDS and lots of bold and italics, which you can quickly see for yourself in "search inside". The points would come across better without all these distractions and without the punctuation problems that occur. It all detracts from the content. A little known book I once flipped thru called NOT ALL MEN ARE PIGS does this alot and I think if the author read it, being a third-party for that book, he would quickly find how distracting it is.
Content-wise, the major flaw is the one that this book shares with most of the genre. It treats all women the same. There are women who like shy, quiet guys. There are women who you can't be as upfront with as you'd like. MODE ONE doesn't account for these women. That's not to pick on it, the only books I've found that do discuss different techniques for different women are THE PROFESSIONAL BACHELOR and GOD IS A WOMAN: DATING DISASTERS, which alone makes them well worth reads.
Basically, I think Alan is on to something with the Mode concept. I think it needs to be developed more, made more concise, and he needs to go back and edit. I fear that he will lose readers because of those problems, which is a shame because there are some good points in this book and I do like the boldness-concept of it all. While I can't recommend this book, he has peaked my interest enough with his character and basic concepts that if he makes changes or writes another book, I will read it, in hopes that I can recommend it to my friends. (I know I probably of typos here, too, but I'm not writing a book.)
Alas, A New Era Of Authenticity. Mode One Delivers!.......2007-02-22
My #1 kudos for author Alan Roger Currie encouraging and promising men and women reward for being upfront, straight-forward and honest in dealing with each other. "Dogs and gold diggers" couldn't thrive with his code of conduct in place, repeatedly discouraging and criticizing manipulation with the opposite sex. Without this honesty, miscommunication, manipulation and hurt feelings are born. I've always said that men don't need to lie only boys do. Author Currie has given men incentive to avoid being phony, deceptive, misleading, and manipulative toward women.
Unfortunately we have an entire pimpin' culture(music, clothing, language, sexuality, religion): gangsta rap based on males being what Currie refers to as Mode Four behavior males..."usually possess a high degree of very misogynistic attitudes toward women. They are still physically and sexually aroused by women, but they do not respect them as human beings. They literally despise women. When it comes to interacting with women, they have a chip on their shoulder." The hurt puppies become ferocious and dangerous dogs.
Although the book is speaking to the males, I gained quite a bit from this book as a woman. Not only in regards to men and women connecting, but in the success of life in all areas. I recommended the book to at least six people prior to completing my first read.
It is unfortunate that this type of book need to be written; desiring, pursuing and engaging in sexual acts is a basic in the natural order of life. Of course men want sex from women and vice versa. That is something that should go without saying. It's like walking up to another human being and saying I am a human being. That would be strange. Currie's book is a perfect vision of authenticity for Amerikka's culture of illusion and hypocrisy.
The only part of the book that really lost me was Chapter 6: Casual Sex v. Relationships
"Wholesome Pretenders and Erotic Hypocrites". I would have appreciated if the author would have added a couple of categories of woman within this study that would've given men a vision of what to shoot for in addition to two very extreme negative examples. The tone changed and it felt as if he was having a flashback while describing these two examples. I do appreciate the fact that he did put some responsibility on males and the American culture of the conflicting messages women get from a puritanical/pornographic culture. Even Ludacris says "they want a freak in the bedroom and a lady in the street." I can't tell you how many times I've heard that throughout my life.
While there were some things that I didn't agree with like, "within the first few days of meeting a woman, always treat a woman as if she's just one of many." This reaks of pretending i.e. manipulation. Be a man with many choices or things to occupy your time so you don't need to pretend. Overall this is a very smart and worthwhile book.
I would recommend young people who are beginning the dance of connecting with the opposite sex to read this book. The message of being honest and authentic is very powerful and timely!
Thank you for writing this book Alan Roger Currie.
The Only Review You Will Have to Read:.......2007-01-29
I will admit it - I used to suck with women. Around four years ago I met a girl who was deeply into me. (or so I've been told, I never dared asking her myself) The problem was - I had no idea what to do, and no balls to take action. So I pussyfooted, and after three weeks of me calling her and leaving messages, she ended up getting annoyed and forgot about me. This was my breaking point - my ego was torched. I couldn't get a girl that clearly liked me and I had to find out why.
It took me roughly three years of studying different things about women to get decent at it. I had many lines and scripts memorized and could at least figure out how to close the deal a few times. However, something was missing. It seemed like the times I succeeded with women were not the times that I played some strategy, but when I was fairly straightforward about my intentions. Looking back, all the girls knew that I wanted to hook up with them. Yet I still had little idea how I was getting them in bed. I couldn't possibly imagine that all the years of gathering information would be obsolete in just a few months.
Mode One goes directly against most of the regular advice that young guys get. Our society had become so incredibly confused that the guys have very little idea as to what exactly they are doing when dealing with the opposite sex. Ironically enough, deep inside they know exactly what they should be doing, but there is so much fear and contradictory information that it is hard to take the plunge and embrace your natural desires.
This is why Mode One is an indispensable book - It does exactly that. It forces you to look deep inside and question your true intentions with the opposite sex. It shows you the "light side" - the option to tell the truth, being real, straightforward, and get the girl without all the nonsense and drama. It boggles my mind when I think of people going on multiple dates and spending weeks wooing the girl only to find out she is not interested. That is LOSER strategy. And this is exactly what I was doing before I knew better. The winner knows what he wants, and he isn't afraid to tell the woman what it is. What I love about the mindset transcribed through the book is that it actually makes you a better human being - you are no longer playing manipulative games, supplicating or straight out lying to get what you want. I've been told by a very wise man once that women reflect your own attitude. I couldn't agree more, and this becomes evident once you go Mode One - women will actually drop their tactics allowing the two of you to have a better emotional connection.
I will make one very important distinction here: Allen is not saying "go up to a girl, tell her you want to bang her and keep pushing if she is appalled." That is stupid. The real way to do it is showing a girl that you are a cool, caring, sexual, fun guy who knows that he wants her and is not ashamed of it. You still have to be nice to girls, but you are not going to get rejected because she knows that you want to have sex with her and hence you are in the "potential mate" category.
Here is the most important quote from the book:
"How would you approach women, and behave towards
women, if you knew for a 100% fact ahead of time that
each and every woman you interacted with was dying to
date you, kiss you, and eventually have sex with you,
even if they failed to initially reveal this to you??"
This is the ultimate question, since once you know the answer, getting women is a very easy task. Reading Mode One makes sure you discover that answer for yourself.
I have the policy to not kiss and tell, but I know that numbers don't lie, so see for yourself:
When I was implementing strategies, scripts, lines and general supplicating behavior, I slept with 5 women in 3 years. When I started being honest with them, I've bedded four women in a month.
People say that there are not enough practical examples in this book - but I think that is the genius of it. Once you develop the mindset, you will have enough experiences to compile your own book in no time. I actually had to turn down sex a couple of times because the women were too easy. It was like going to the knife fight with a bazooka. So definitely keep looking for quality women otherwise you might end up with a lot of party girls on your hands.
P.S. I can not rave enough about Alan's personal customer service. Every sent email is promptly replied to, and the advice is always there in case you need some. Simply tremendous.
"...An interesting theory...provokes deep thought and encourages close examination of attitudes and beliefs.".......2007-01-14
"Mode One: Let The Women Know What You're REALLY Thinking explores how men should approach women that they are interested in. Displaying an interesting theory utilizing personal principles for evaluating effective behavior vs. ineffective behavior towards women."
"The author describes four modes of behavior that will elicit various responses from women. Mode One Behavior being the suggested action of being upfront and honest about your true interest and intentions when approaching women."
"Mode One provokes deep thought and encourages close examination of attitudes and beliefs that have a direct link to preventing men from reaching their objectives."
"Overall, Alan Roger Currie makes suggestions that will help men conquer their fears about being rejected and criticized by women and achieve the type of relationship that they are truly interested in."

Not your typical regency!.......1999-07-31
A beautifully written romance! Shows how women who were abused by their husbands got little support from the law and society during the period. The decriptions of the heroine and how she reacts to, and deals with her abused condition were moving as well. Credit must also be given Dunstan, whom Fairchild has made a wonderfully perceptive and caring character. This is Regency romance at its best!

Book Description
By mid-July 1944, the Normandy campaign had apparently degenerated into a bloody attritional war of mat\233riel. During late July, however, Operations Cobra and Bluecoat tore the German front wide open. The Germans' XLVII Panzer Corps hastily prepared for offensive action, but by striving for unrealistic objectives, Hitler condemned the German Army in the West to destruction by pushing it deeper into a trap. By 8 August, it became clear to the Allies that the encirclement and subsequent annihilation of an entire German army was now feasible. It was in this context that Lieutenant-General Guy G. Simonds' II Canadian Corps launched two set-piece offensives, Operations Totalize and Tractable, in order to prevent the German Seventh Army's escape and seal the pocket completely. Despite fierce German resistance, Canadian infantry embussed in armored vehicles alongside the tanks swiftly penetrated the entire depth of the German defenses.

Book Description
On 7 August 1944, the Canadian Army, reinforced with British Army units, sent four armored columns south of Caen to close the Falaise Gap. Driving through the night, the British tanks reached their objectives behind German lines and linked up with their Canadian compatriots. In the German counter-attack that followed, the British smashed the elite Tiger-equipped Wittman Troop. Using eyewitness accounts from tank crews and infantry, Ken Tout reveals how Totalize was a resounding Allied success.

Mixed results of attack on secondary front are good reading.......2001-02-23
"Operation Totalize" doesn't get much ink in most reference books about World War II. It was a less than successful action, one of a series of such by the British and Canadians in France. The Germans were superb defensive soldiers, and they checked Montgomery's forces time and again.
On this particular section of front, the Germans held all the high ground. They were able to block British movements by day, allied air superiority notwithstanding, and rebuild their defenses by night. The lumbering Tiger tank and 88 mm anti-tank gun were nightmares to the crews of the inferior British armor--and to the Polish army-in-exile crews of the lend-lease Shermans. "Tommy-cookers", the Germans called them, on account of their combustability.
The solution the British command came up with was to launch an armored attack at night. Tracer fire would mark the boundaries of the assault lanes, and strategic bombers would act in a tactical role, pulverizing the German rear.
The usual "fogs of war" descended over the plan: last-minute tinkering by the commanders, unexpected movement and resistance by the Germans, columns going astray, friendly fire from the bombers, etc. The Poles were too eager for revenge and outstripped their support. The Canadians were too reserved in places and did not gain ground that they otherwise might have, or else were destroyed when they cornered first-class German armored formations. The front was too narrow for such a heavy attack, and it ground to a halt about ten miles from its objective, Falaise.
This book, however, shows how no combat is minor to its participants. The book opens with an eye-witness account of the night assault. Red and green tracers zip overhead. Armored vehicles in the column are little more than shadows in the blacked-out conditions. The canucks in a personnel carrier go flying when a grenade lands in their vehicle. Shell-stunned Germans huddle in a ditch, watching the column go by. Bombs roar. Muzzles flash. And so forth. It continues with other first-person stories of the attack, which are as dramatic as anything from better-known battles in WWII. It points up the fact that a battle may be no less enormous or horrible to its combatants for being little known. A solid anecdotal history of a neglected episode of the War.

The Day of Battle: The War in Sicily and Italy, 1943-1944 (The Liberation Trilogy)
ASIN: 0750928220 |
Book Description
The twin armored advances of 'Goodwood' and 'Cobra', unleashed six weeks after the Allied landings in Normandy in June 1944, were intended to trap a German army within a wider pincer movement. Myths that have grown up since the end of the war suggested that 'Goodwood', a British initiative, foundered whilst 'Cobra', undertaken by the Americans, prospered. The author contends, however, that together these operations started a series of advances, which were to culminate in the encirclement and ultimate destruction or capture of masses of German troops within the notorious Falaise Pocket in August 1944. Combining his compelling narrative with the eyewitness accounts of those who were there, Ken Tout explodes the myths surrounding these operations and claims 'Goodwood' as an important advance at not too great a cost. Credit is given to soldiers on both sides, whether American, British, Canadian or German, for their resolute efforts in almost impossible situations.

Highly Recommended.......2001-11-03
I have the honor of being one of Dr Feig's students studying Eastern European History. I have read many things she has written, this book, like everything else , is amazing. I highly recommend it to everyone.
Brutally Honest.......2000-11-08
I read this book when I was 16, after FINALLY watching a copy of "Schindler's List". From the moment I began the movie, I was entranced by the Holocaust and immediately wanted to read as much as I could about this dark time in Our History. As I expected, there isn't that much available to a 16 year old (I am 19 now), but this book was enough and then some! It is amazing how the author goes through EACH individual camp (major camp) and illuminates the reader as to what occured and what fate awaited not only the comandants, but the female SS officers. From this book, it is so easy to FEEL what the victims of the Holocaust felt and SEE the horror they witnessed. This is one of my most favorite books!
What Horror Shall We Inflict Upon Ourselves?.......2000-01-27
I'll be brief. A deeply disturbing account of Nazi concentration camps and the activities that took place at such locales. It is truly hard to imagine the abhorrent behavior and actions that were used against Jews, mainly Jews, and other non-sanctioned races designated by the National Socialist Worker's Party in the years before and throughout WWII. Feig guides the reader along a nightmarish tour of grisly death and, what many inhabitants of these camps must of felt, psychological hopelessness.
Good overall summary of Nazi savagery.......1999-10-14
This book does an admirable job of detailing the horrors inflicted on those victims of the Nazi camps. From Chelmno to Bergen-Belsen, all the major camps are described in unflinching language. The only drawback to the book is some of the critcisms the author levels at the Allies during World War II and before the war. Some examples of this unfair treatment: 1) She berates them for not attacking railroads leading to the camps or bombing the crematoriums. However, she herself admitted that the Germans would have quickly repaired the tracks and the crematoriums. Thus it would have taken multiple raids made against these targets, effectively denying the bombers from use against the Nazi war machine. If there were multiple raids made, it could very well have led to defeat of Allied forces on key fronts. It is doubtful that even if these multiple raids had been made that the Germans would have given up on killing their victims. The author herself stated that the Nazis, beyond any reason, was fervently trying to kill as many concentration camp inmates as possible before Allied troops arrived. Thus it would be unlikely that the Nazi effort to kill Jews would have been dissuaded. 2) She berates the US and Britain for not allowing widespread immigration during the Depression. She ignores the fact that both US and Britain were in the grips of (surprise!) the biggest Depression the world had seen and thus didn't need more people competing with American and British workers for scarce jobs. 3) She attacks Britain for not allowing widespread Jewish immigration into Palestine just before World War II and during it. She obviously doesn't understand that if that thing she wished for was allowed, the Arabs might have revolted against the British (as she even mentioned in the book) and may have sided with Germany. If that had happened, the Suez Canal would have been cut and Britain would have lost a vital source of supplies. Being deprived of that, Great Britain might have actually fallen to Nazi juggernaut and Hitler essentially won the war in Europe. If THAT had happened, I guarantee many more inmates would have died.
This book reflects the author........1999-08-11
I have had the honor, and pleasure, of being Dr. Konnilyn Feig's student at Foothill College, CA. I have read this book, and I think I can say that it reflects the personality of the author. Dr. Feig is a Teacher, first and foremost. She is one of the few, rare, great Academics, a scholar of enormous skill and learning. This is shown in every page of her book, her intelligence, her strong, vibrant personality, and her critical, clear eye of a Historian. This book is possibly one of the best histories of Hitler's death camps that could ever be written, because it is written by an intelligent person who strives to keep this horrifying part of our shared past from being forgotten. She writes with strength, with passion, and with the vitality of a woman who has devoted her life to teaching, to one of the most noble professions of this world. Not only is this book an unsurpassed history of a terrifying time, but it is a monument to the vital, burning mind of a woman who can best be designated by a single word, a word that speaks of intelligence, nobility, and necessity-a Teacher. For the author alone, the book is more than worth reading, for Academics such as this are not often found.
