Book 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 you—for 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 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." "You are the coolest person I can even imagine existing. If you slept with my girlfriend, it'd make me love her more."

 A funny light read August 21, 2008
mzakal (Columbus, OH)
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.

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.
A must have if you lack laughter in your life August 17, 2008
Terrance L. Greenwood
Dirty raunchy toilet humor wrapped up in what would be best expressed as at least one moment in every mans life.
Definite Read August 16, 2008

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.
