Would someone please explain why you are helping this guy by buying his books? Seems to me you are not only paying for but also serving him his beer!

Tucker Max is funny.. Bbut he doesn't deserve any respect from any respectable woman.

Although he is definitely good for a laugh because we've all been there, on both sides of his stories (seeing as I am a woman, it definitely brough back some fun memories), so we can slightly relate. I think he takes it a little too far sometimes though (at least for my taste), you know that line that should never be crossed?!?! He crossed many times in those 300 pages!!

I'm glad I read it.. I wanted to know how funny he really was, but I probably won't read it again. But if you are just looking to pass the time and want a good laugh, you should try Tucker out.

I thought the book was well written and bought back a lot of old memories :-)

I found this book on the floor of a bathroom in O'Hare Airport. A fitting place for it, afterall. Thank God, I didn't pay money for it.

Look, these stories are such an outrageous exaggeration of the truth that no reasonable person would believe them. It's just fiction and bad fiction, at that. I don't mind scatalogical humor nor am I an uptight prude, but, dirty stories need to be funny. Being crude for the shock value is boring and stupid. Perhaps a few tales are mildly entertaining, but, who hasn't heard the same stories repeated in every locker room, barroom or pool hall in America. Tucker rambles on like some insecure frat boy that thinks he has to keep telling taller tales to impress you. It's like, well, if you think that was something, then, listen to this. Each one is a bigger fabrication than the one before it.

I mean, c'mon, if somebody find this material enteraining, they must also enjoy poopie and wee wee jokes. Grow up.

I wish I read more reviews before I bought this book.

The writing reminds me of standing arount in the basement of a fraternity listening to a drunk alumni reliving his glory years.

The sad part is that there are pathetic losers out there worshipping Tucker, aspiring to be like him.

He and his book are a train wreck.

Can someone tell me how to take a book off my Kindle?

After reading the first two pages I decided to stop torturing my mind with such inane, stupid and meaningless stuff. This book is a TOTAL TRASH!

I love the stories but you don't have to buy the book. All of the stories are online.

Ok, the book looked interesting, I had seven hours of air travel ahead, what the heck?

Flight takes off, so I begin reading the first chapter. ok, not so bad. Makes me even a little excited thinking about my pre-married with children days, and I am on my way to Vegas to boot! Perfect combination, at least until I got a couple of chapters into the book and realized that it sucked. it was poorly written, not at all riveting, and not original or thought provoking. By less than a quarter into the book, I started rooting against Max, hoping that he would pass out from doing 20-something shots and split his head open. I hoped he would get crabs. I wanted to read about the girl he knocked up. But except for one joke from a pissed off former girlfriend, none of that ever came to pass. Bummer.

Like previous posters said, if I want to hear stories about drunken boys getting laid I will hang out with my old school buddies, people I care about. Tucker, I just never cared about you or the shameless way you treated everyone around you. Good luck with your book in a few years called, "I Hope They Prescribe Rogain in Hell".

I couldn't put this book down. Tucker is the lowest form of scum and he takes it to an art form. I don't want to be him, but I respect him for the fact that he knows who he is and is okay with that. His stories are well written and easy to read. Several times I laughed outloud, sometimes even having to put the book down to wipe my eyes. Many of the stories are on his website. It is worth the money to buy the book. I'm looking forward to the movie.

Hilarious. I read the whole thing in one sitting, and I do not regret using the whole day doing it. Some of the funniest stories I have ever heard, and even if they are embellished a little (which I don't think they are), they are still absolutely insane. 5 Stars! Can't wait for the next book!

2 Stars.

I don't know if it was the writing or the ridiculous stories but I barely laughed while reading this. I just feel dumber for it. Some of the stories were decent, but most of it seemed phony and punched up for shock, rather than laughs. It read like a 13 yr. old virgin trying to sound funny and cool-but anyone who's actually been there knows it's probably b.s.

I gave it two stars for the rare chuckles I got out of it. But if you want something funnier I'd recommend Maddox's "The Alphabet of Manliness" or Jack Pendarvis' "The Mysterious Secret of the Valuable Treasure".

I bought this book earlier in the summer and read it while laying out, the sun completely melted the glue but i still couldnt put it down. i bought THIS book to make up for my other one, its a must have for any collection. Very timely delivery!

All I can say is wow. I found this guys website on the internet, and loved his stories, so I decided to buy his book. It was probably one of the most well-written books I've ever read. This man is a literary genius.

Funny, and witty. On my second copy as I've loaned the first out so many times it got too damaged to read. LOVED The book can't wait for his new one.

I think every group of friends has a guy kind of like Tucker Max who keeps things interesting by making fun of women and still somehow managing to seduce them. Some of the chapters seem repetitive, but most of them are funny. The only complaint I have is the chapter where Tucker comes to the conclusion that the women in his life might be doing the same thing to him that he is doing to them. It is terribly obvious that Tucker's editor made him put this in here to demonstrate 'self-growth." They should have left this part out and just let Tucker Max be Tucker Max.

This was seriously one of the funniest books I've ever read, laugh out loud. Tucker Max is completely self indulgent. A sociopath if I've ever heard of one. If I could meet him I would thank him for being his authentic self. This book is a must read.

IF you took things a little overboard in your "younger days," woke up somewhere you didn't remember next to someone you wish you didn't remember, and within an hour had the "hair of the dog," got rid of that thing you woke up next to, and were both laughing with your buddies about the gruesome details and planning on doing it all over again that next night, then you will most likely be able to identify with Tucker and have at least a few snot-launching laughs.

IF, on the other hand, you spent your younger days hating people like that (or being the person they woke up next to), you may not appreciate the blatant nuances of drunken exploits and narcissistic behavior described in the book. You won't get the humor, and you may get a stomach ache.

Word to the wise -- do NOT get caught reading this book while sitting next to a feminist on a long plane ride unless a) there are empty seats available that you can move to, b) you can pull off an explanation like "I caught my son reading this and I need to know how bad the damage is," or c) she is hot and you think you can get her drunk and talk her into joining the mile-high club.

Love it or leave it 3/4 unread -- there is not going to be an "in between" with this book.

This book was amazing, I couldnt put it down. Its crazy funny. Its full of stories some so crude and ridiclous you cant help but laugh, some that made me stop and say hey ive been there. Anyway I would highly recomend this book.

I bought this book at the airport this weekend after scanning over the first couple of pages. I will admit I was laughing and entertained for the first 10 pages or so. The sexual humor was right up my alley. I'm somewhat of a sexist, somewhat immature for my age (25) and like to party. I've partied everywhere, with all kinds of people and I am a living legend in many cities and social groups across the country.

However, being a drunk is one thing, but Tucker is a mean drunk. Tucker is "that guy" that is obnoxious, offensive and should be avoided when you see him out. He has a good sense of humor, to an extent, however, his lack of disrespect for women and those in authority was too much for me. He gives spoiled white boys like me a bad name. If you see this book, pick it up, read the first two chapters then put it down. If you read anymore you will begin to see him for who he really is: a pretentious, narcissist with severe anti-social personality traits. Kind of reminds of the narrator in American Psycho. It's not worth your money.

Tucker Max admits he's a jerk but he somehow thinks recounting endless vomiting sessions, discussing the many times he's acted like a shallow, abusive pig, and relaying the details of his bodily fluid excretions is worth a book. There are a few funny bits _ the Breathalyzer one at the beginning comes to mind _ but it all gets tedious really fast. It's frat-boy trash humor by a pampered kid who thinks he's being cute or profound, or something. You want to grab this idiot by the throat, shake him and say: "Grow up and care about someone else!" That said, maybe the book goes down better after a few shots of Jaegermeister. Better yet, save your money for the booze.

I borrowed this book on a deployment when reading material was very scarce. I read a little over half of it before I grew bored. Every story is basicallf the same. Some guy gets drunk, has sex, and does something humiliating or some varitation of that formula. The writing is mediocre at best and lacks any memorable prose.
However I think the most irritating part about this book is that the author claims all the stories are true. They are not. Some may be but most are not. Of the 6 stories/chapters I read, 4 stories I had heard before in the early to mid 90s either in college or in the army. They are Frat/Army/Young male urban legends. They always start something like "My brother was telling me about this guy in his frat who -Insert drinking/sex/humilaiation story here". There is nothing wrong with these stories. I have told a few of them myself. However the main draw of this book seems to be that the srories are true. When they are obviously fiction or at least exaggerations it detracts from the book and makes it sort of silly.

I must caveat this review by saying I only read a little over half the book. I borrowed the book during a deployment when reading material was scarce. The stories were mildly amusing and the writing was mediocre at best. No shining one liners and the prose was entirly forgettable. The stories are all pretty much the same, A guy gets drunk and has sex or makes a fool of himself publicly or some variation of that formula. All in all not a very good book and not worth reading.
The other irritating thing about this book is that the author claims that all the stories are true. They are not. There are twelve chapters or stories in the book. I read seven. Five of the seven stories I read, I had heard told previously by several different people, most in the early to mid 90s. They are the kind of stories that start "My brother told me about this guy in his frat who"-insert drinking/sex/humiliation story here. They are frat boy urban legends. I went to college in arkansas and have been in the army for 12 years. So it is highly unlikely that I was hearing stories about the author. It seems like the big selling point of this book is that the stories are true. When you take that away, all you have left is a poorly written book of urban legend drinking stories that have been floating around for years.

Hilarious and entertaining. Too crude for my taste at times, but 90% of the time I apprecaite Tucker Max's sense of humor. I must have laughed out loud at least 30 times reading this piece of work...definitely one of my favorite books I've read in the last few years.

Outragiously funny, but morally wrong. This guy is truly a bad person (It even says so repetedly in the book) but, some of the stories are so funny. My roomies and I couldn't stop laughing. If you're a guy- you'll love it. If not, well, it's a good read.

I just set up my account to say I own this book and I hate it so Amazon would stop recommending it to me. It's been telling me for years that I want to read it. I've given it a shot, even a few pages, and it just looks stupid.

It thinks I'd be interested because I read books on NLP. NLP got linked to picking up chicks through some aggressive marketing which was very successful but also provocative and somewhat antisocial. There's also the fact that it works. Unfortunately, if you study NLP, whether for the purpose of picking up chicks or not, you end up meeting these people who are into it, and most of them just suck. The NLP stuff for picking up chicks, you can use that to make your girlfriend a very happy woman, you can change her life, but the army of losers this material attracts makes the community around it horrible.

Amazon uses a system called collaborative filtering, which basically says if you buy book X, and most people who buy book X also buy book Y, Amazon will conclude you will also want book Y. This book, I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell, is book Y. I do not want it. Amazon's theory is wrong. The only reason I know this book even exists is because of the aforementioned teeming legion of losers who buy books on NLP. They keep buying books on NLP and books about picking up chicks, and they keep buying *this* book, and every time I buy a book on NLP, or God forbid, meeting women, Amazon tells me "oh you totally want this book, buy this book."

I don't want this book. I've tried to read a few pages. I didn't like it. I've been better with words than this guy since I was in junior high. I also pity people who enjoy beer. LSD is better for sex, more fun, and it makes you smarter. Two Nobel-prize-winning geneticists, Dr. Kary Mullis and Dr. Francis Crick, were using LSD in their recreational hours at the time they made their Nobel-prize-winning discoveries. I read a book about some guy who drinks a lot of beer and I just pity his ignorance, that he thinks this is a big party, something to brag about. It's beer. They feed that to rednecks. And the rednecks feed it to their dogs. Dude like that doesn't know what a party is.

Anyway, since I'm so tired of Amazon recommending this tiresome, dull book to me over and freaking over, so many times that I've actually caved in and read pages of the damn thing, only to discover it sucks, let me dissuade you from reading it. Let me tell you how I think it relates to the seduction community. Ross Jeffries has a system that only works for a very small number of people, but does truly remarkable things for the few who manage to figure it out. Mystery Method is a dumber system that has less power but works for more people. Mystery stole a lot of Jeffries' thunder because Jeffries' coarse marketing attracted a lot of people who were just too stupid to make his system work for them. Mystery gives you a system where what you do is you dress snazzy and you talk to a lot of chicks. For the average nimrod, this is a lot easier to figure out, and they get somewhere. Nowhere special, but somewhere.

This made the community dumber and bigger. MM adopted a lot of Jeffries' systematized style, but filled it with more simple content. This led to more simplistic thinking. That's where Tucker Max comes in. Tucker Max appeals to a simplistic mindset. As far as I can tell, this is a book about how teenage boys like to imagine college and how middle-aged men like to remember it. Older guys rewrite their personal college histories in their minds. Younger guys think college is the promised land.

I could be wrong. I'm going to read "The Game" be Neil Strauss and it may change my mind. But this is my perception. Jeffries used coarse marketing to sell something weird and remarkable. This attracted coarse people who were looking for coarse products. Mystery played Pied Piper and stole them all away, selling them the coarse, obvious things that they had come looking to buy all along.

Tucker Max is another guy who sells coarse, obvious things to coarse, obvious people. I think he's going to make a lot of money, because he's found a market niche and people want to buy what he's selling. But if you even took the time to read this gigantic review, there's a good chance that you're not one of those people.

If you want to know about being a man, read Hemingway. Tucker Max doesn't know a thing.

This book is the worst book I have ever had the misfortune of owning. The writer is crude and disgusting and enjoys abusing women. After the third story I had to remove the book from my house to feel clean again.

The smartest, wittiest, most venom filled sentences were direct quotes from his favorite friend "Slingblade".

Max is a 30 something year old fraternity boy. Or worse, he has become a frat boy cheerleader.

A few of his stories were entertaining enough for me to tolerate the rest of this book. Understated, it's repetitive. The typical story line is as follows:

He gets drunk, insults some fat/stupid chicks, takes a drunk hot chick home, then runs home to brag to his friends about his "crazy" night.

I'm disappointed that Maddox (infinitely more talented and interesting than Max) promotes Max on his website. I thought he had better taste than the likes of this chump.

I couldn't put this book down. I laughed until I cried. There were parts that I found a little too graphic, but it just helped create a more visual picture of the events. Much funnier than similar books by other writers.

I bought this book in the airport on a two hour layover in Salt Lake City (I can't believe they sold this book in the Mormon capital). I couldnt put it down. It was one of those books that tells a story that you wish you could live. Tucker Max has lived the Great American Male Dream. It's exactly what you expect it to be from the minute you read the first page. All American males between the ages of 18 and 30 should read it to realize how great life could be.

Tucker Max is rude, crude, narcissistic and awesome. I love the web site and loved this book. I was in tears laughing so hard.

Tucker Max is a genius and the stories in this book are priceless. Excellent read!

Tucker Max is a genius and the stories in this book are priceless. Excellent read!

Too bad Tucker Max stayed sober for the 10 hours it must have taken him to write this repetitious, self indulgent book. I want my money back, if I wanted to be regaled by tales of drunken stupidity I would go to my next high school reunion.

While it was obviously published at a fairly low-cost and a surprise hit, I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell has some stories that are truly hilarious. If you enjoy the misadventures of Hank Chinaski, but with less self-loathing and a lot more humor then Tucker Max is up your alley. So, crack a beer or ten and prepare to be horrified and laughing. Horrified at the stories and also at yourself, for enjoying them so much.

We all know this guy is a pig. With that said, I found The Game by Neil Strauss much more entertaining. Same with Mystery Method. Same with Cougars, Poptarts & One Night Stands by Billy Conroy. After the first couple stories, Tucker Max's book was predictable.

Highly amusing. Not for the easily offended though. Was great for a few great laughs.

Tucker Max should have a monument erected in his honor! This book is beyond hilarious and is definitely worth reading. I seriously couldn't put it down. BUY IT! I repeat, BUY IT!

I had heard of Tucker Max from his website and while walking through the bookstore, I came across this book and decided to buy it. I had not read a book since college, it is not something I enjoy doing, but the book looked hilarious and I have not been able to stop telling people about it. We are passing it around my group of friends so everyone can have a chance to read it.

We have all seen guys like him in the bar and I know the kind of girls he picks up. I see them walk out of the bar and I always wonder... what happens next... is it really as I would picture? WELL... Now we can find out!

I told some of my young friends they have to read it before they turn 21 and start going to bars because it will be a wakeup call for the innocents! LOL

I would love to sit in a bar and see Tucker Max work.. but until then, I love the book!

This book is hillarious. Ever single thing in it just reminded me of something a friend or I had done and I would get caught laughing out loud while reading it. Buy this book.

I barely managed to get through the book's preview on this website. This is by far the most uninteresting stuff I've ever read. I'm so glad you guys at Amazon offer search inside.

Yes, Tucker is creepy. Yes, his writing is puerile, relying on cliches and ALL CAPS so often that after a while you are half expecting him to start tossing in emoticons. Yes, he treats women horribly. To make matters worse, he admits he is reprehensible as a disclaimer. But he always spares us the painful details that would hit home what his brand of abuse is all about. All the women he deals with are asking for it in some way, either through their loose morals or inflated self-opinions or extreme horniness or low IQs. And usually it is all of the above. Tucker's sex partners are never conquests. Most come to him with open arms and open legs.

But he never humanizes a sex partner. In one story Tucker beds a fat chick he picks up online through some poorly articulated dare/bet/homoerotic duty to his nameless and faceless Greek frat chorus of absolute buddies, the only people in his world that are real and interesting, lovable and loving. Tucker tosses the girls clothes out of his window and forces her to make a midnight run out of his apartment naked. He does this because he is faced with a choice: treat this woman like an animal or lose face in front of his roommates.

Great stuff. But I would have liked to have heard the woman's parting words, or a line from the email she sent him the next morning. Not because I wanted to see Tucker get what is coming to him. (As Tucker freely admists, God will take car of that.) Just because I require more in a narrative. As they stand, Tucker's stories (as most of the reviewers at Amazon have pointed our) have the effect of dirty jokebook jokes --shocking, worthy of a guffaw, but ultimately disposable. Tucker Max is a womanizer. But his biggest sin ultimately is his corniness. His stories may be true, but they are not real.

All this is not to say that I did not read the book from cover to cover in three sittings. Why? I won't call Tucker a hero, a zen alcoholic, but there is something a little fascinating in Tucker's choice to reject the sterile, career-centric, empty adulthood that most of us tolerate. Most dropouts and outlaws get rejected by society first. Tucker, on the other hand, had it all, looks, brains and a great education. A corporate legal career was his for the taking. He instead opted for a life dedicated to nickel wing nights, boilmakers when you are too drunk to stand and coming to in the morning with a stranger's thong on your carpet. The media sells the image of the party life; in reality very few have the stamina or moral black hole to live it. Tucker does.

Again, I am not saying that I have more than few ounces of respect for the man. One idiot reviewer has championed him as a free speech hero. What a load. Tucker's only value is that his exploits beg the scary question of whether adulthood really exists anymore. I believe it does, but I am not so sure after reading this book.

This book was entirely too funny! Reminds me of too many guys I knew when I was younger, but the stories! Sometimes I wonder if this could actually happen to a person- then I realize that I had my own stories.... Definitely a good read!

This could be the worst read in the history of literature...the fact that I'd have to characterize this as literature makes me ill. This idiot completely fabricates every single story in the book, and sounds like a pathetic loser the entire time. I feel bad for him and his family and hope to god he doesn't attempt to write another book. How can one write dialogue after consuming 35 drinks? I'm not sure it is feasible. Don't buy this book, such a waste of money.

You find out most of it's fake. I hate how all these guys such as Tucker Maxx and Maddox write these books about being men and how they're saviors but it turns out Tucker's stuff is mostly fake and Maddox doesn't even update his site but once a year now and looks like something out of Harry and the Hendersons. Tucker is the frat boy who couldn't score real chicks without some kind of alcohol or drugs and Maddox probably dates fat chicks! Tucker's stuff was funny at first and I read the whole book along with Maddox but after seeing how these guys handle themselves with, "book fame", it's kind of weak. A real man keeps it real not real fake. I thought these guys were legit which makes it funnier but now I could really care less.

I got this book as a light read for vacation, and I think it served its purpose well. I heard of this book because Tucker Max's celebrity was emerging while I was in law school. He and his blog were often a topic of discussion in the library and between classes. It's a fairly short book broken into small sections where he essentially tells a different story with each break.

The stories are truly legendary. I found myself laughing out loud and retelling some of the stories to my wife. They range from the outrageous to the gross. While the book has several weaknesses, the stories really are the lifeblood of this book, and aren't overshadowed by flowery writing or unnecessary "stretching" by the editors.

As far as weaknesses, I'd have to say that the writing is just not very strong. Mind you, this is Tucker Max's first book, so there's always room for improvement. The writing is stilted at times, extremely simplistic, and repetitive, though I guess that still can't ruin a good "crapping your pants" story. Since these are recollections of stories that occurred at different times, several elements are repeated a little too often. Some readers may be turned off by the author's carefree rich kid attitude, but Max makes no apologies for it, and I think it actually adds to the stories.

I would recommend this as light reading on the beach. It's a short, easy, entertaining read for when you're just looking to have a good laugh.

The first time I picked up this book, it was at a friends house after a few beers and I started reading random pages. It was hilarious! Irreverent, arrogant, fun - much like the evening we were having. I thought I had to have this book, since Tucker Max would probably be my new hero.

When I actually bought the book, it was right before a 5 hour flight when I really needed to be sleeping, and was completely sober. Not quite so funny. If this guy is so smart and could have been a lawyer, can he please drop the word 'like' from his writing? I get it, it's supposed to be conversational, you're supposed to feel like his buddy, but at this point, the dude's 30. Grow up. (not in his behavior, just his word choice)

I was also put off by how frequently he refers to women as 'b*tch' or other degrading words. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with the many degrading things he does with or to them, and it he really said it to someone's face, great. But don't call someone you met once a bitch when she doesn't even know she's being talked about.

His stories are absolutely hilarious, but I think you have to be in the right mood to go along with him and his friends on their ridiculous drunken adventures.

Slightly degrading, but hilarious nonetheless. Laughed the whole time I read it, and afterword thanked God that my moral standards are SLIGHTLY higher than the respective author's.

Dirty raunchy toilet humor wrapped up in what would be best expressed as at least one moment in every mans life.

Hilarious, that's all I have to say about this book. The book had me laughing so hard I was crying. I read it in two days; any guy who loves to party will definitely enjoy this.

This is a great book and arrived earlier than I expected it to... Great experience all around
