    About this ebook

    The “highly entertaining and thoroughly reprehensible” #1 New York Times bestseller—now with sixteen pages of photos and a new introduction (The New York Times).

    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 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 don’t believe in God anymore. No just God would allow someone like you to exist."

    "I’ll 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. You’re 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."

      Hilarious read! Exactly the stuff I laugh about with my brother and friends, so of course I had to recommend it to them. Even though I read most of the parts out loud to them, it's a must-read because they probably couldn't understand my words while I was snickering.

      Funny in places... but mostly just rude.

      I'm not just speaking about the tales that Tucker Max chose to share in this book either, but also including his lack of writing skills. If it wasn't for his outrageousness, offensiveness, and general lack of a conscience, I don't think he would have been successful at all. His style is fine for his blog, where he chronicles his life and where, I presume, these stories originated. In book form, however, it sucks. Tucker Max seems to be his biggest fan, and I actually feel badly for him for when his moment of glory ends... I don't think he'll handle the crash well.

      I laughed so hard I cried, I may have even snorted a few times! The only thing that prevents me from giving this 5 stars is that the main character is such an a-hole that certain sections were hard for me to read. Definitely a great laugh!!
    • 4/5
      This book is hilarious, but it has made me lose every moral standard I possessed prior to reading it. I'm going to see how long it takes for them to return.

      The review on the cover from New York Times maybe describes it best. - 'Highly entertaining and thoroughly reprehensible." I had never heard of Tucker Max prior to this book. It follows his exploits during the early part of the millennium. He's a young man who drinks way too much and in turn becomes an ogre of a man he will insult anyone who comes near deserving or not. He also tells tales of his numerous sexploits. From meeting a girl from his website whom he calls fat to another young lady who's into watersports. Then there's another story where the girl actually comes out on top. He treats her badly and then she says she's got an STD and he needs checked which leads to a very painful procedure with a long metal object. It's really base humor and I really want to feel embarrassed for reading it, but that said it was very entertaining but he's a very bad man.
    • 3/5
      I have to admit, I did find parts of this book amusing. I tend to have a crude sense of humor, so it generally takes a lot to offend me. With that said, there were a few stories that were just to much for me and I had to pass on them. His sexual escapades weren't that interesting to me, but I found myself laughing several times at antics such as the fight with the mascot and the comedic conversations & insults throughout.

      I don't think I'd recommend this book to anyone I know, but it was OK as a temporary filler for my normal reading.
    • 5/5
      Wow. This has to be the most laugh out loud funny book I've read in a very long time. Though it may not be for everyone, it is definitely hilarious. 10/10
    • 3/5
      I came across this book in my local book store, I read the back cover and the first page, I had to buy it. There is no doubt Tucker Max is one of the lowest forms of human beings, but he admits that he is a sorry soul and he doesn't pretend to be anything otherwise. Despite the man having no respect for himself or others, I found the book both funny and disgusting. I do not feel sorry for any of the women featured, they were all consenting adults and some of them seem to think as highly of themselves as Tucker Max does. I think every woman needs to read this book and pass it on to other woman, so that we can spot and ward off men like Tucker Max. That said, lets hope the man never pro-creates. "See I got demons in my past so I got daughters on the way, If the prophecy's correct than the child shall have to pay for the sins of the father...JayZ.
    • 4/5
      Tucker Max is every woman's fear (egocentric, rude, and impressed by shiny, plastic things) and every Maxim readers joy (funny, honest and shameless). An entertaining and embarassingly funny read.
    • 3/5
      If there was a genre known as “dick lit” (the male version of chick lit), then Tucker Max’s I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell would be the leading title. I am not sure why I bought this book, but I must admit that some of his experiences were hilarious. As a female, I should have hated the book, but it provided interesting insights into the male mind. At least some males. If you want to hear about the crazy college conquests, road trips, and drunken escapades of one man and his friends, then this is the book for you. And I have to admit that I visited his web site, which was equally disgustingly funny, and learned they are thinking of making a movie of this book. I cannot imagine!
    • 4/5
      Wow! Tucker Max should either be dead, in jail, or thought of as a hero. I cannot make a final decision on the matter. Whichever it is, his life makes for an amazing story!!
    • 3/5
      Reprehensible. Absolutely hilarious, but reprehensible. This book is a collection of stories from Tucker Max about his life and drinking escapades. This book is filled with stories about getting completely hammered, vomiting and mis-treating people. Once I picked it up I couldn’t stop, no matter how much of a jerk he was being. Ultimately, this was a fun read with some great stories, but if I were to ever act like this, I’m certain I would be divorced and have no friends.
    • 4/5
      OMG! If Tucker Max's stories are even half true, he has led a more eventful life than the rest of us. His essays chronicling his drinking and whoring ways are screamingly funny and sometimes gag-inducingly repulsive. If you don't laugh, you'll be one of the prudes he mercilessly skewers. If you do laugh, you'll feel bad b/c it will seem to be endorsing his outrageous behavior. There are two eras in your life, before Tucker Max and after.
    • 4/5
      The adventures of a natural PUA (pick up artist) from a man's perspective, of course. I enjoyed this book for its comedic value. The book shows some of the dangers of having a bad wing, although Tucker (the PUA) is able to overcome those dangers sometimes. He seems natural in his writing and since there is such a dearth of this type of material it was a welcome read.
    • 5/5
      HILARIOUS....HILARIOUS....VERY VERY VERY WORNG....HILARIOUS....I feel wrong for thinking that this book was funny but i cant help it because i really really was but it was also very very wrong. good book though.
    • 4/5
      This will make you want to never go on a blind date again!! But he's lovable in that creepy uncle sort of way.
    • 3/5
      Not literature by any stretch of the imagination, and the stories become tiresome toward the end, but I have the humor of a teenager, so I laughed quite a bit.
    • 4/5
      Tucker Max is possible the absolute scum of the earth. However his book "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" had me laughing until the end. All in all i would hate to meet him in person but reading about his disgustingly ridiculous life not only made me feel better about myself but also gave me a good laugh.
    • 4/5
      Hilarious, and every time I laughed I thought less of myself as a person.
    • 2/5
      Not for the easily appalled, offended or nauseated. But if we read the memoirs of the wonderful people who have truly made a difference in our world, or people that started at the bottom and made it to the top, why not round it out and read about the reprehensible as well? There were moments of this book that as gross as they were, were absolutely laugh out loud funny. But ultimately it was extremely graphic and not an experience I need to repeat. Addition: It is only fair to say that this meeting of my book club was the best attended, loudest, longest and funniest to date - have to give him a nod for that.
    • 3/5
      Disgusting, but entertaining. A lot of it is really funny, for fiction. But it is also very repetitive and gross (i.e., vomit,etc.). Definitely adults only. And most of them may be offended.The chlamydia story is indeed hilarious!He gives nicknames to all of his buddies. I don't remember finding out his nickname (Hurricane?).
    • 4/5
      “My name is Tucker Max, and I am an a-hole”. This line essentially sums up the contents of the book. The book is told in the perspective of Tucker Max, a student at Duke Law School. Most people would think that a student of that caliber would be a first class gentleman. If you were one of those believers, in this case you would be very wrong. Tucker Max recounts several short stories from grad school. The stories are full of debauchery, fornication, partying and non-stop drinking. One example is “The Pee Blame” in which Tucker wets the bed (clearly one of many stories in which the author is intoxicated) and by some means manages to get a stranger to pay for it. Once you think Tucker is the scum of the earth you are introduced to his buddies who can be compared to the Jackass crew but with the brains of Albert Einstein. It is no question that the book runs the risk of offending people, with excessive drinking and sometimes too much detail, but it definitely contains comedic value. The stories are very simple with no underlying plot lines. However, Tucker does do a good job of developing his character in the book as well as his buddies. Although the book may seem as though it is only about the recounts of a drunken grad student pursuing sex and acting idiotically, it has a hidden meaning. If Tucker can get away with all of this nonsense and still be successful, why can’t we? The message isn’t that we are supposed to emulate his actions, but do what makes you happy. Overall I liked the books comedic value, and its hidden “message”, but will say that it WILL offend some readers.Ben B.

      Guy humor at it's best and, well, worst. Hilarious at times, but don't be fooled, this guy is an ass. Don't expect redemption (the last story made me sick), just go with it and you'll enjoy a few laughs.
    • 3/5
      While Tucker Max's exploits are on the reprehensible side, he has a gift for telling a story and I actually ended up finishing this book in a single evening. If you enjoy reading stories in more of an "outside looking in" kind of situation, it's definitely not a bad read.
    • 4/5
      "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" by Tucker Max was hilarious. Tucker has made himself famous for being morally reprehensible, and it's amazing how little shame this man has. All told, though, it's a laugh riot, if you're not too disgusted by it. I think his friend SlingBlade sounds even funnier than Tucker is.
    • 4/5
      This book is hilarious, but it has made me lose every moral standard I possessed prior to reading it. I'm going to see how long it takes for them to return.
    • 5/5
      Completely hilarious and you'll feel like the biggest jerk in the world for laughing at it.
    • 3/5
      So if you know anything about Tucker Max, you know he's absurdly sexist and ribald and anything but respectful of women. I can't deny, though, that he's a decent writer and tells a funny story -- which, although they are often at the expense of women he's dated, are almost as frequently at his own expense, which in my opinion covers a multitude of sins. I needed a book that would force me to laugh in spite of some very not-funny situations in my life currently, and this book fit the bill perfectly. Also, it made me absurdly grateful that I never dated Tucker Max, or anyone remotely resembling him.
    • 2/5
      So Tucker Max isn't a lawyer because he think he can write? LOL. This is just a bunch of random stories put together in no specific order. They all start the same he's drunk, he's behaving like an asshole, yet somehow there are women who want to sleep with this. I've read his site before the books and was amused. But wow, just wow. He can't write to save his life (his grammar, I about died) but he can tell an amusing story. Some of the stories are questionable about how accurate he is portraying them, especially when he's like "I can't make this shit up" or "go ask so and so, he has no reason to lie for me" makes me wonder how true they are. He knows he was an asshole and still is and that a lot of people aren't laughing with him but at him and he can take it while laughing at himself. I can even respect the fact that he knew what he did when he was younger was fucked up, like lying to women and harassing anyone he please instead of just loud mouths bothering him, and actually grown as a person and realize he shouldn't lie because he doesn't have to to find a woman to sleep with him, just has to find women who are like him. I don't like how he talks about women sometimes, calling them whores and hoes, while doing the same things they do. I get he was young and dumb and he definitely seemed to mature up later in the book and not be such a asshole.
    • 5/5
      I realy enjoyed this book. Although demeining to women the stories are hillarious and probably ring true for all guys. It is more a collection of short stories but they do all tie together which is the best part!
