Review: Could be used as a conversation starter, but not like the author intended

For me the value isn't in the lines, it's in how you use them.This book is chuck full of "lines" that you could use.  Most aren't original.  Some are funny, A few use "British" words like "Bird" and "Plaster" without referring to birds or casts.  At least one has been misquoted.  You can see many of them for yourself from the Amazon listing.Me, I wouldn't use any of them as if they were coming from me to start a conversation.  What could be effective is to ask for advice from someone, such as, "I just downloaded this book of pickup lines. What do you think about...", and read one from your smartphone, tablet, netbook, or laptop.  Now you can talk about the lines, ebooks, your phone, or better still, something you notice about the person with whom you just started a conversation.FWIW, I had two favorite pickup lines I used to use.  My first choice was, "Hi, my name is Bob, what's yours?"  There was also the line I would recommend to my friends, "Hi, my name is *their name*, let me introduce you to my friend Bob."
