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 bought this book expecting some drunk stories written with some wit and style, but all I got was a book that I could've written myself about our college stories. As soon as I got the end of the first few stories and they ALL ended with some version of "Yeah, that night was pretty f***ing ridiculous" I had to stop. I can tell stories better than that, and guess what, my friends and I got drunk in college a lot too.

Bought this for my college age son. Read it first. OMG. This was the most horrifying book I think I've read in ages. Yes, there are occassional laughs, but at whose expense? Why would anyone think it's okay to write about boozing yourself and becoming an idiot? Don't get me wrong, I went to college, and I'll admit, the boozing thing...I did it. But good God, you can't live your whole life in a drunken stupor.
Thinking I just didn't get it because I was an adult, I passed this book on to my 21 year old son who laughed a couple of times, then came in and said, "Mom, what were you thinking buying me this book? This guy is an idiot."
Passed it on to my brother who basically said the same thing. None of us are prudes. None of us have a holier than thou attitude, we just didn't think a whole book of drunken debauchery was funny..sad for Tucker Max's life yes, funny all the way though..no.
Don't waste your money.

If any man reads this book and does not laugh at, at least one story. He should be stripped of his man card. Very funny, I couldn,t put it down.
Rating: -
This book will inspire readers to live life not exactly dangerously, but recklessly not only fro the time of your life but in order to tell the story the next day.

I was really hoping for a good read. Just a rich, spoiled brat talking about how he and his bros like to drink, poop and chase equally shallow women.
Gee, I hope Tucker's mommy is proud of him.
