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 Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, by Tucker Max, is one of the funniest books I have ever read. This bestseller is "Highly entertaining and thoroughly reprehensible," says the New York Times. Tucker Max attended the University of Chicago receiving a B. A. then Duke Law School where he realized that he didn't want to be a lawyer but he actually wanted to be a writer. The book is broken up into a series of short stories that are all told form Tucker's perspective. Basically all of the stories consist of his various experiences getting drunk and hooking up with random girls. Many people are either completely put off by his stories or completely love them. One actual reader said, "I find it truly appalling that there are people in the world like you. You are a disgusting, vile, repulsive, repugnant, foul creature." On the other hand, a different actual reader said, "You are the coolest person I can even imagine existing. If you slept with my girlfriend, it'd make me love her more." Granted these views are the extremes so I'll give you my actual reader interpretation. "I am thoroughly amazed, and fairly impressed, that someone like you exists and I can't help but question the truth of your stories. That said, regardless of truth, your stories have strengthened my views that I should do what I want, screw everyone else. Moreover, your book is one of the few that actually had me laughing out loud while reading. In short: thank you."

If you are offended or put off by men acting like drunken pigs, sex and perversion, crude language and acts don't go here! STAY AWAY !
But if you like tales of mindless drinking and sexual misconduct, Tucker Max will make you laugh a few times. Hate to admit it, and possibly laugh outloud. It is very crude and the movie can not possibly do the stories justice.

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.
