I got kicked out of Barnes and Noble for laughing too hard December 19, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I see that all of the other pretentious females who reviewed this think the book is lame. I too am female, but even I can appreciate insane humor when I see it. This guy is a jerk but he is actually smart, and that combined with his propensity for recklessness makes this book genius. Not only are his stories hysterical, they are well written. If you like frat humor and aren't a whiny, easily ofended prude, this book will become your Bible. I have gotten tons of people hooked on it.

this book is like being on the inside. i laughed so hard at some of his stories. if your a feminist or jammed up about how young college men can and usually are, dont read. you will be offended. its not crude, its just college guy and his friends telling wild stories. and how and what they really think about some chics. i have given this book to 30 year old guys, to executives and lawyer friends of age 60. they love it.i would love to meet this guy. enjoy
Waste of time December 14, 2008 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book is so bad that it's hardly worth the time to write this. Yet, I feel a sense of responsibility to try and prevent at least one person from this torture. The publisher should have held on to the good title and saved it for a real book. This book is not even remotely funny nor does it have a point. It is a bunch of stories no different from those of any group of obnoxious friends who do things just so they can later tell their friends about how 'crazy' they are. I'm also afraid that this book may incorrectly create the impression that all guys are like this to whatever degree. I can only assume that this guy also came up with the slogan 'what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas'. Nice job genius!
Entertaining, at least for the first few stories December 6, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Tucker has a knack for wit and no boundaries obliging him to keep it to himself. That, his penchant for women, and his love of making fun of everyone make his book pretty engaging. I had it read cover to cover in no time, especially after I spent hours ignoring others around me to stick my nose between the pages. And even though Tucker is sort of a disgusting individual, he is also not unintelligent, so he becomes an interesting protagonist to be following around.
That said, the novelty of his "craziness" wears off after awhile. Fortunately, he always seems engaged as story-teller--here is someone genuinely excited about themselves and their life, even if it is stupid--but, really, vomit, poo, and vagina stories lose their zest when they are told over and over again. I imagine it stays exciting when its your own life--as it has for him--but, as a reader, by the end I felt like a read the same story many times over.
(As a side note: for someone who seems to enjoy being on the right side of exploitation and self-honesty, I find it odd that he fancies himself as a "writer." Uh, I hope he gets it straight before real disappointment, but he is just a blogger with some adventures that got published. I doubt we'll see him writing about anything contentful in the future or in any domain outside of bar-hopping (but maybe thats an obvious point).)
Anyway, read it for some good laughs and try not to take it too seriously and get offended. At lest people can't get any more pointless than this!
Downright hilarious December 1, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
Stuck in an airport with a flight delay, I ventured to the bookstore to pick up a book for my husband and myself. The gloom and doom of my chosen book was forgotten due to the overwhelming guffaws coming from my husband. I have never heard him laugh so hard. This book, my friends, is just funny. Needless to say, Tucker Max is raunchy, disgusting and an egomaniac, but at the same time you get this feeling that he is superhuman, that he is untouchable and almost godlike. His stories will have you rolling in the aisle, literally!
