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." |

I would be interested in learning more about the book in question than your personal phylosophy. I have to admit that reading the above is a different and amusing change from the normal stuff presented here.
Wish I could have read the book.
Hope you have a long and diesese free life--Lanny

I really wanted to hate this book. I think you really can't unles 1) You're a feminist 2) You're easily offended by bad (and I mean BAD) behavior or 3) You have an aversion to puke and poop. This is an awful person by all rights but some things were just laugh out loud hilarious. I'm really not convinced that it's all true and never will be but man it makes your jaw drop. I'm a woman and was not offended but ladies read with caution if you're overly sensitive or have ever been with a man like this.
I had not ever heard of Tucker Max before reading this book. I guess he's been an internet legend (and one in his own mind) for many years, I will not forget him. Whether that's good or bad I have no idea.

Tucker Max is funny but I don't think as funny as a lot of people, including himself, like to claim. I did laugh out loud at a couple stories in his book but I've done that with various other books as well. This wasn't a first. He is slightly annoying as well and not because of his language and actions towards women. I can take that- and also find it funny. It's his views of himself. Apparently he's famous? His Dad is? Who is his father? I don't think I've ever heard of him. Aside from that the book is funny- it's broken up into stories, each chapter a story with smaller stories sometimes thrown in. It's worth reading but you have to keep thinking to yourself, how are all of these outlandish things happening to the same person? Over and over and over....and over again. Maybe they're being thought up for a book? Hmmmm.

Very funny, but not for the weak-hearted. Every story in the book contains graphic and crude descriptions of sex and drunken debauchery. Definitely more of a guy's book than a girl's, but I enjoyed it by not taking it too seriously.

One of the most offensive, vile, disgusting...and HILARIOUS books I've read in a very long time. Not for the easily offended...
