Publisher's summary

From the author:

"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."

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."

Critic reviews

"Occasionally, a book comes along that horrifies and disgusts you while making you laugh out loud all at the same time. This book does that and more." (The Rebel Yell)

Hero

Oh Man! Tucker Max...seriously bro. You are my hero

Loved it

I liked the fast paced naration. Great stories. Laughed a lot. Finished book within two days, which is not like me.

Either you like his sctick or you don't

I'm not sure if vicarious is the right word, but Max's books definitely invoke the inner adolescent in me.

It's not that I sympathize with his actions, or him as a person - and he does tend to play up his exploits as something more than the silly college boy antics that they are. But he presents an honest, egalitarian approach that he is quite forthcoming about, in the vein of "if you sleep with the dog, you get fleas." Coming from the dog, that's something.

Bottom line you don't have to agree with the guy to find his writing engaging. In fact it works better if you find him repulsive, because the one-dimensional fratboy which is initially presented is gradually chipped away by an elliptical but effective series of rules and principals that he outlines. To be sure, the "rules of the game" angle is an important part of his writing. And either you like it or you don't.

Think I enjoyed it more reading it

This is a very entertaining book, I found it better reading it than listening to it. It definitely darker humor most of the time but it’ll that’s what you like this is the book

Guy's a total dick & great entertainer

Unbelievable stories and raunchy, even by my standards, which are pretty sick. Holy smokes. Love it

debauchery

Max Tucker is the definition, personified, for the word "debauchery". His stories are full of fun enjoyable entertaining moments of his own life sprinkled with life lessons of what not to do and what to do if you really want to have a good time. this was hilarious!

Funniest book ever!

Well written short stories about young college bachelor life. Would like to see this as a Netflix series someday

the whole book

it should be the whole book not just a few chapters really funny and a good read

Narrators: They're a thing.

Funny writing. Funny stories. Tucker is an asshole. Also, his voice made me want to break my iPhone. Hire a narrator next time.

Hilarious

This is good ole raunchy comedy. I would definitely recommend to any of my friends
