And very liberal minded. Just did not want it in my house. I am of the generation which this should appeal to. Realize this is a satire (I think) but it is so vile I actually, for the first time in my life, threw a book (this one) in the garbage after I read about 20% of it.
Save your time, avoid this book. But if you are still looking to get a taste of it, visit a local frat house or dirtbag beer bar instead. But, you don't see most of the world droning on thru endless pages about it. We have all lived these tales.done them, and been the recipient as well. Well.didn't happen with this book. I had really high hopes of being mindlessly entertained with a witty, hysterical, easy read. It had its high points of laughter early on, but just became totally repetative and absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. I only made it 75% of the way through.so perhaps it was the end quarter that gave it so many decent reviews.
He just fails miserably. Much like his life, the writing is equally shallow. His writing style, or lack of, is much better suited for short blog entries. I have no issues with the content of the book; just the poor writing style. It's really funny for the first three minutes but it gets really old really fast. I assume the author wanted to replicate the atmosphere one experiences when friends get together at a bar and tell stories.
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. Greetings,Do not purchase this book. The book is so poorly written that I question if an editor was even involved. I do recommend his blog.
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. 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. 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. Tucker Max is a womanizer, alcoholic, and a complete loser, but lovable. 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. A few weeks ago I was in Chapters and I found this in the Humor section. I'm completely baffled as to how anyone could live their life like Tucker Max- which is why it's so funny. His friends include the smart but loseriffic Slingblade, the lovable El Bingeroso, the trash talking Hate, and many more.
Not for the faint of heart or the easily disgusted. A very crude, but funny read. Reads very quickly.
