Product Description:
My name is Tucker Max, and I am an asshole. I get excessively drunk at inappropriate times, disregard social norms, indulge every whim, ignore the consequences of my actions, mock idiots and posers, sleep with more women than is safe or reasonable, and just generally act like a raging dickhead. But, I do contribute to humanity in one very important way: I share my adventures with the world. from the Introduction Actual reader feedback:
"I am completely baffled as to how you can congratulate yourself for being a womanizer and a raging drunk, or think anyone cares about an idiot like you. Do you really think that exploiting the insecurities of others while getting wasted is a legitimate thing to offer?"
"Thank you, thank you, thank youfor sharing with us your wonderful tales of drunken revelry, for teaching me what it means to be a man, for just existing so I know that there is another option; I too can say screw the system and be myself and have fun. My life truly began when I finished reading your stories. Now, when faced with a quandary about what course of action I should take, I just ask myself, What Would Tucker Do?and I do it, and I am a better man for it."
"I find it truly appalling that there are people in the world like you. You are a disgusting, vile, repulsive, repugnant, foul creature. Because of you, I dont believe in God anymore. No just God would allow someone like you to exist."
"Ill stay with God as my lord, but you are my savior. I just finished reading your brilliant stories, and I laughed so hard I almost vomited. I want to bring that kind of joy to people. Youre an artist of the highest order and a true humanitarian to boot. I'm in both shock and awe at how much I want to be you."
"You are the coolest person I can even imagine existing. If you slept with my girlfriend, it'd make me love her more."

I have never written a book review before, but had to in this case. In short, this is the funniest damn book I have read in my entire life. If you are looking for silly, frat boy, drunk stories of ridiculousness, then this is the one for you. It has absolutely nothing to do with my real life. I guess that is why it was such an escape. It reminded me of so many of my friends in college and the Army. Well worth the cash! I'll be passing this on to my brother, who will also enjoy it.

As long as you can laugh at drunk horny guys this book is roll on the floor funny. I would not recommend it for a grandmother and I wouldn't hand it to my religious parents to read either. All my friends have read it and we make jokes about how we have done similar things. GREAT GREAT GREAT AND FUNNY BOOK A+++++

This is basically the literary equivalent of being trapped in a college bar listening to some bros/frat boys brag all night about the "sluts" they've banged or the stupid things they did while drunk. If that sounds like a fun night out, this might be the book for you! I don't really care how much of its true. I'm sure there is, at the very least, a huge amount of exaggeration, considering the book is coming from someone who proudly calls himself an arrogant @#$hole and drunken buffoon. Would he be above making up a few more details to sell more books? Really though, the whole thing is so lame that its hard to care too much.

SORRY, I HAD TO TOSS THIS BOOK IN THE TRASH. IN MY EYES THIS IS A BOOK FOR 'MEN ONLY'. I CAN'T THINK OF WHAT WOMAN WOULD READ THIS CRAP.

Why did I do it...something I have resisted all my reading life? I read completely through a book that I detested from the start. After severe self-examination I've decided that completing the book was the only way I could offer an unbiased opinion on why I HOPE THEY SERVE BEER is a total waste of time.
The premise, the reporting, the topic, the writing, and the author all stink. The premise that in-depth accounts of rampant inebriation, violent sexual encounters, and body functions gone awry would be entertaining is weak in concept. The fact that the book has sold millions of copies doesn't change that argument; it only brings forth another problem about public morals, a different subject entirely. The reporting of such incidents is done in such a salacious fashion that I, as a reader, felt my own body functions threaten to rebel. The topic (or three, if you want to lump them together) is not considered fodder for self-respecting readers to chew on, although the author would have you believe that people who don't embrace his hedonistic point of view are somehow lacking enlightenment. The writing is sophomoric, repetitive, and hackneyed. And the author is a criminal masquerading as a well-adjusted party animal who commits rape, vandalism, drunken mischief including driving, and other assorted unlawful acts.
I adore women...always have. I don't see the entertainment in demeaning or mistreating them. Nor do I care to read about some alcoholic idiot who, along with his bozo friends, gets great pleasure in the inhumane acts outlined in this book. So I will end this review now, throw the book in the trash, and go back to the delight of my normal life. I don't regret the 16 bucks I spent for the book, but hope that you'll forgo the same urge. I've told you all you really need to know about this garbage.
