Book Reviews of I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell
Book Review: intriguing
Summary: 5 Stars
I officially disapprove of 98% of I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell's content. I find it morally reprehensible and emotionally bankrupt.
Um.
But.
Having read this book at least five times, I wonder if maybe, just maybe, I not only relate to Max's stories, but sincerely admire them. Is there a loftier moral mandate than defining your life's path? And is there a riskier emotional journey than betting everything on personal passion?
Yet it's not all high stakes and complicated ethics. I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell is a universally funny experience. People will use words like "hilarious," "uproarious," and "outrageous" in review. Remember "funny," though? Without complication? This book is funny, like funny was meant to be. Witty with a twinge of snob appeal, crass with a twinge of trash appeal. In other words, precisely human, and did I mention funny?
Hopefully, somewhere between laughter and shock, you'll stop to ask yourself, "If Tucker can get away with all this, what can I do?" Perhaps this book will spark an individual journey as sensational and unique as Max's. If not, it's a pretty fun consolation prize.
Book Review: By far the sickest, most disrespectful man to write a hilarious book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Tucker Max is the reason why men have the reputation they do. In one human being and book, there is tangible proof that men are indeed smart, but sex crazed/addicted/obsessed (however the kids are terming it these days). **I realize that I am severely generalizing in my review and I apologize to all the men out there who are NOT Tucker Max** The reality is that even though we outwardly frown upon EVERYTHING he writes about, we secretly are jealous of his lifestyle. Only a select few can actually live that lifestyle and feel good about it; hence why they should serve beer in hell.
This book should only be read for a light read. No one should "look between the lines" or try to "psychoanalyze" why Tucker Max does what he does. Just take the book for what it is and just enjoy!! I personally loved every page and laughed at every story. I practically read the book out loud to my husband because every other minute I was laughing out loud and he needed to know why! Definitely worth it!
Remember- THIS IS MY OPINION ONLY... Please read it for youself and make your own!
Book Review: Read it non-stop
Summary: 5 Stars
My brother picked this book up in an airport on the way to Mexico with my family. He was literally laughing out loud for days and relayed sotries to me and my dad. I decided when he finished it, I'd give it a go, though I was unsure about some of the author's views on women. But let me say in short that I, as a 22 year old female, LOVED THE HECK outta this book.
I picked up it one night and didn't put it down until I finished it in the wee hours of the morning. I had never read a book all the way through in one sitting before and doubt I ever will again (unless I pick this one up again). I laughed so hard at times I almost peed my pants. I was jealous of all the adventures Tucker Max had (on top of his moderate success) and kind of ticked that there was no way a woman could have such adventures, let alone write an incredible book about it.
As many others pointed out, it's not a book that offers a grand awakening at the end, giving you the warm and fuzzies. But it will make you laugh, and your friends WILL thank you for passing it on.
Book Review: Funny, vulgar, and absolutely entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
I found myself laughing so hard at some of the passages in the book (particularly anything involving Tucker's friend SlingBlade) that I had trouble breathing. Tucker Max is the type of person that, in real life, I would find revolting for a lot of reasons. But, he is a phenomenal story teller - just the way he tells the stories of his life is engaging and truly hilarious.
If you're easily offended, clearly this is not the book for you. Tucker Max does a lot of really offensive things. The part that I found funny was that people (really, women) keep hanging out with him despite the fact that he is rude, vulgar and, frankly, a pig to most of them. That's kind of the point - and it seems that he acknowledges that he's rude to people because they let him be rude.
During law school and in my time living in D.C., I met a lot of guys who had some of the characteristics of Tucker Max. None of them could write this well to make their antics half as interesting as this book. Bravo.
Book Review: Hilariously Offensive
Summary: 5 Stars
Tucker Max's stories are the kind you can laugh at because they happened to other people. Or because they happened to you 5 years ago, and looking back on it you can think, "Yeah, that was definitely funny."
Being a woman I found all of these stories slightly offensive but hilariously forgivable. Tucker knows he's a jerk, and doesn't hide it from anyone. To all the women who refused to see this, you asked for it. And..thank you for doing so, as your embarassment provided me with hours of laughter.
This is just the kind of break we all need from our serious lives which might include, listening to your boss drone on about annual sales at the monthly meeting, reading boring economics textbooks for hours on end, or watching the same story on the evening news for the eigth day in a row.
If anything like these stories has happened to you before, maybe you should consider writing a book - I'm sure we would all get a great kick out of your shenanigans, as we do Tucker Max's.
