Every mother of boys should read this as a warning on how bad boys can turn out. Thoughtless, rude, disrespectful. Reminded me of most of the college frat boys I met in Chicago. No big surprise he was a Dukie.
funny
fast-paced
I haven't finished this book yet, I got stuck in the middle as I do with many books but this time for a different reason. The book started out alright, an average guy, crazy friends, and a world of possibilities for crazy shenanigans. He gets drunk, he does stupid things, his friends do stupid things, he gets laid. That short sentence about sums up the story as far as I got, with no indication that that formula will change by the time I hit the fly-leaf at the end of the book.
In total it is a collection of drinking stories, the things guys tell other guys to one-up each other over a pint. "I drank this many beers, ran from the cops, and slept with 5 girls" and then your buddy has to produce a story more outrageous with more superlatives than yours.
I would like to say that this book is decent simply for entertainment's sake, but if that was the case I would have finished it by now. I dropped this book in favor of a compendium of Greek Mythology. Not only does this say quite a bit about who I am as a person, but also about Tucker Max's book. If he can tell us 20 times how he got drunk, then why can't I write a book on how I watched the X-Files all weekend? I weep for Tucker Max's soul.
This Review was written in haste, for a friend. The only other book I have reviewed was a truly horrible biography of General John J. Pershing, so I guess it makes sense that I will only review books I did not like.

I'm ashamed to admit I LOVED this book and have recommended it to EVERYONE! It's dirty, it's awful and so indulgent. I only hope I never met Tucker in a "past" life.
This book is not for the faint of heart ... it's graphic and disgusting. But you will laugh your ass off while reading it. And when people stare at you in the coffee shop, all you can say is "Gotta read this book!"

I'm torn about how to rate this book. If I had read it 10 years ago, I would have found it totally hilarious. Now that I have a bitter man-hating shrew dwelling inside me, I can only give it 2 stars. I did find myself laughing out loud a couple times, but it was never about his sex stories. I found the banter between Tucker and his cohorts to be extremely entertaining, but his degradation of women ultimately left a bad taste in my mouth. pun intended.
Maybe I just need to get laid.

Partial read. A few funny moments but not enough to keep interest. There are some things I just do not need to know.
For me this book was like a loose tooth or a car wreck you see on the side of the road. Fucking awful but you can't help but look. Or with the tooth you prod and poke with your tongue and it hurts like hell but you still do it.
His basic attitude to women is deisgusting and his escapades made me feel sick, but I couldn't stop reading. It was awful. I thin khe is an absolute pig and as a woman I hope he goes to hell.
But like i said the read is compelling its just a pity it makes you want to commit a crime and be sick...not really in that order.

I give this 5 stars because it is hilarious. I couldn't stop reading this for 2 days because I just kept laughing and laughing until I had tears down my face. But it had to end at some point. Of course, definitely do NOT attempt to read this book unless you have a crass sense of humor because it is NOT for everyone. Many will be disturbed, un-humored, and disgusted by it.
Maybe I'm soulless and will end in hell with Tucker Max, but I thought this book was hilarious. Is he an asshole? Yes. Do I condone what he's done? No. Was it a great quick read to distract myself from the real world. Definitely. If you're sensitive and and can't handle outrageous behavior why would you even bother reading a book like this?!
