Save your time, avoid this book. But, you don't see most of the world droning on thru endless pages about it. I only made it 75% of the way through.so perhaps it was the end quarter that gave it so many decent reviews. I had really high hopes of being mindlessly entertained with a witty, hysterical, easy read. But if you are still looking to get a taste of it, visit a local frat house or dirtbag beer bar instead. It had its high points of laughter early on, but just became totally repetative and absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. Well.didn't happen with this book. We have all lived these tales.done them, and been the recipient as well.
His lack of focus, which plagues his book, is not a problem since the entries tend to be shorter.Overall, I equate this book to watching monkeys throwing feces at each other. His writing style, or lack of, is much better suited for short blog entries. I do recommend his blog.
I have no issues with the content of the book; just the poor writing style. I assume the author wanted to replicate the atmosphere one experiences when friends get together at a bar and tell stories. Greetings,Do not purchase this book.
He just fails miserably. It's really funny for the first three minutes but it gets really old really fast. The book is so poorly written that I question if an editor was even involved.
Much like his life, the writing is equally shallow.
The best stories are the Sushi Pants Story, the Austin Road Trip, Tucker MAx Book Tour, Tucker Tries Buttsex- Hilarity Does NOT Ensue, Tucker Goes to a Hockey Game, This Will Just Hurt A Little, and Floss.The only ones I thought were lame were Tucker F--ks a Fat Girl (the majority of that one is pretty exaggerated) and Girl Beats Tucker At His Own Game- that one was a bit too disturbing for me. Pretty much the whole book is just stories about him getting drunk, having sex with pretty much every woman in the US and doing the stupidest things ever. His friends include the smart but loseriffic Slingblade, the lovable El Bingeroso, the trash talking Hate, and many more. A few weeks ago I was in Chapters and I found this in the Humor section. Apparently there's a movie coming out of this book later in the year, I can't wait for it.So if you're not afraid to tolerate 330 pages of a total loser getting drunk and doing the stupidest things ever, feast your eyes on this. I'm completely baffled as to how anyone could live their life like Tucker Max- which is why it's so funny. Thinking it would make a good read, I purchased it and began reading it on the way home.This is one of the funniest books ever written. Tucker Max is a womanizer, alcoholic, and a complete loser, but lovable.
Reads very quickly. A very crude, but funny read. Not for the faint of heart or the easily disgusted.
Must warn though, I have a pretty untraditional and disturbing sense of humor. If you can look past the ugliness and debauchery, and see the stories as a bunch of entertaining anecdotes with colorful characters full of the devil's wit, you will LOVE this book. This book is not for the faint of heart (the movie will be rated NC-17 for sure). I am a female, and I usually have very different taste in literature, but I couldn't put this book down. I swear, I have not stopped laughing for three days.
