God bless you, Tucker Max March 28, 2006
276 out of 365 found this review helpful

I happen to have had the great fortune to attend law school for two years with Tucker Max (I graduated in the class following his), and although I never had any particular interaction with him there I can assure you that the man tells the absolute truth. Even during his tenure at the school he was legend, constantly roiling the gossip networks and cheerfully rendering the rest of us less employable through indirect association with him. While he may never surpass a certain other alum in overall infamy (Richard M. Nixon), his transition to internet god can only be described as preordained. This book, an inevitable extension of Tucker's boundless and virulent ego, is an entertaining romp through all the frathouse experiences you wish you could forget, chaperoned by a man with no conscience and no regrets.

It is true that it is only a matter of time before Tucker Max dies at the age of 43 after his grotesquely swollen liver and prostate conspire to doom him. Our lives will be lessened at the loss. Tucker demonstrates, perhaps inadvertently, that the health of a democracy is best measured at its extremities. In everything from running roughshod over his fellow humans to defending, albeit for his own purposes, the fundamental First Amendment rights so many of the rest of us never truly exercise against the predations of self-appointed Internet censors, Tucker is self-contained, self-made, and self-supported in a manner few individuals in history have managed. He is the best and the worst of America, and could not have sprung from any other nation. You'll have to wade through a lot of get-drunk-grope-bimbo-fall-down stories to get there, but in the end I hope you appreciate the boundless scope and energy of such activities, as puerile and beer-stained as they individually appear. Tucker, keep on rocking in the free world.

Scumbag? Yes. Funny? Sadly, yes. March 18, 2006

Reading this book, you have to set aside your own moral compass in order to enjoy it. Make no mistake, Tucker Max is a vile vile person, but his own admittance. And if you try not to think to much about his victims...er...marks...er... girlfriends/hook-ups, then this is a hilarious book. I was laughing so hard at one point towards the end, the guy in the airline seat next to me must have thought I was having a seizure.

Definetely worth a read, just make sure you don't expect a warm, touchy-feely, "I've changed my ways" at the end of the book.

Due to the great reviews,I had to check this book out.
WHOOPEE!!Its the same "wild n krazy" stories told over and over again. Maybe its just me,but it got old real quick.
The book isnt half as funny as his fans are saying. Actually what I found most funny were the obvious embellishments/exaggerations to the stories. Another humorous note,is how the protagonists(Tucker and company) seem to think they are so cool,so fun,and toolishly continue to pat themselves on the back for it throughout the whole book.
My other complaint is his style of writing leaves a lot of room for improvement. Very mediocre,and defintely not good enough to carry such shallow, anemic material.
I dont want to speculate on how/why this book is getting so many rave reviews, but in my opinion, it truly is a one star thats being overrated. In five years,his books will be sitting in basements collecting mold,and people will say,what the hell was I thinking when I bought that??

Over and over and over... January 6, 2006

A book about getting drunk and hooking up. Again and again and again and again. It reminds me of an old National Lampoon story of O.C. and Stiggs. It's funny at first, but becomes monotonous and dull by the third chapter. The book is a lot like a drunk person...entertaining for a few minutes, then just annoying. Bottom line - Read a couple of his tales on his web site and skip the book.

Fitting commentary. July 2, 2006

I'm not sure why Amazon removed my first review for this book, but I'll keep this short, just the same. It's fitting commentary on modern western culture to see someone so shamelessly lauded for being a louse, but such is the sad state of our world.

At any rate, the stories read poorly, like the transcript of a conversation - it doesn't translate to the written word very well. Typos and clunky sentences abound. One can read much of this on his website for free, as well.
