Book Description
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."
About the Author
Tucker Max received his B.A. from the University of Chicago, where he graduated in 1998. He attended Duke Law School on an academic scholarship, where he graduated with a J.D. in 2001 (despite the fact that he neglected to buy any of his textbooks for his final two years and spent part of one semester—while still enrolled in classes—living in Cancun). Tucker is purportedly the reason Duke dropped from 7 to 11 in the USN&WR rankings during his tenure. He currently lives in Chicago, and when he isn't drinking or fornicating, he writes for his website.

"What a stupid lamb."

You think he's honest? I'm pretty sure a lot of this stuff is completely made up. I read the book and I was actually angry after because I like I had been taken.

That model story is not believable at all. He went on Opie and Anthony and told that story, and O&A just made fun of him.

I read the sushi one and he seems like an ass.
it was by far the best book i read all year... i have recommended it to many and lent out my copy...it is an absolute riot of a book... you will double over laughing.....
ENJOY!!!!
and still jonesing for another show....
"the waiting drove me mad..."
That said.
The fact that this book is a bestseller is so annoying. Let's just promote misogyny and violence against women while we're at it. Grr.
His new book has been delayed for some time..........

Uh.. maybe because he's totally jumped the shark?
Well if he wrote another book I would buy it - its funny sh*t.

There is no possible way he can make a 2d book as good as his first book, and everyone (i.e., his publisher) knows it.
I promise you if that book ever makes it out & you do buy it, less than halfway through you'll be like "eh. First one was better."
glass always 1/2 empty?

No, and I'm not the "PC Police" either. I'm just saying that it's nice that he could capitalize on his fantasies, frat boy mentality, misogyny and ability to make up stories, but he won't be able to duplicate the success with this same formula. It does get boring.
I'm a writer by profession (if you can't tell). I'm definitely not the only person in the industry who has this opinion.
Well I'm a frat boy or I should I say use to be a long time ago and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sure he embellished for entertainment purposes, but it isn't made up. I know someone who knows someone who went to school with him and he is a dick 8).
Do you think it's at the library yet?!?!?! hehehehe
"What a stupid lamb."
"What a sick, masochistic lion."
"Tucker Max is an asshole but the kind of asshole that all of his asshole friends love because his antics distract them from the thinning hair and gentle mediocrity that characterize their post-college years."
Why is this interesting?
For those of you who want to waste an additional $11 and 2 hours of your life on this turd, there's going to be a movie based on it! YAY
