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?!
I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell pioneered the genre of writing seen in books like Total Frat Move and in GroupMe chats like those I saw in college. A slightly less funny, significantly-less-family-friendly bastard child of Animal House. Decent continuity, and the writing isn't bad. Whether you like it or not, Tucker Max shaped the 21st century male psyche. The trend of increasing dissatisfaction with the book is understandable as our society's adherence to political correctness also rises.
As Tucker Max channels his lack of self respect into an entertaining saga of debauchery, many readers will find that they can channel their own feelings of inadequacy and insecurity into criticisms of our society's most popular scapegoat: the frat boy. While some may suggest that the book's greatest irony is that someone not involved in Greek life redefined how Americans perceive fraternities, I believe the most endearing is that a book which stands as a triumphant exhibition of acute masculinity (and boarishness) has contributed to the continued emasculation of our society.

What can you really say about this type of book. It's good for a few laughs but, like reality tv shows, you start to see through the cracks and realize his stories aren't as funny when you know they've been fabricated.
Who is Tucker Max? An egotistical, rich, spoiled bully who obviously was raised without an ounce of morality. What a prick! I hope he made enough money from this book to afford professional help for his Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
I knew before reading this book it would be crude. I enjoy crude humor but Tucker's complete disregard to humanity is what made this book so displeasing. Here is a summary of the book:
Fucking girls....
Drinking...
Fucking girls...
Vomiting....
Fucking girls...
Making fun of fat chicks...
Fucking girls...
These topics do not dissuades me from reading. It's the tone and attitude throughout the book that infuriates me.
What I find severely flawed in this book is his writing. Let's face it, he is just some frat boy who had some luck with a blog that eventually landed him a book deal. He is NOT a creative writer. This is one of the reasons I felt his stories fell short.
So why did I give this book 3 stars and not 1? Perhaps it's because he stirred such an emotional response out of me. Or maybe because it felt like I was watching the National Geographic channel discovering a new species. Regardless the reasons, any literature that can stir such emotions, even negative ones, deserves something.

i have been forgetting about this book since last August. i got halfway through but just haven't really picked it up again. not that it isn't funny...
While I did actually get some enjoyment from this book, it was semi horrible and super misogynistic. There were some laugh out loud parts, but that kind of debauchery is really only acceptable for so long...
