Book Reviews of I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell

Book Review: Adventures of the Invincible Misogynist
Summary: 3 Stars

The day Max was banished to college by his billionaire father, he was overcome by libido and had fermented yeast dumped into his stomach. To make matters worse, his mutant ability to exploit insecure sorority girls activated just as he was hit by a blast of Jaegermeister. Over the course of the character's 7 years of existence, from college through law school, The Misogynist has, at some point or another, had various combinations of the following powers and abilities:

Vision - His senses grant him the ability to discern promiscuous sorority girls with greater accuracy and detail than normally humanly possible.

Eidetic memory - The Misogynist is occasionally shown to have flawless, total recall of everything he has ever seen, read or heard even while completely inebriated.

Invulnerability - His invulnerability protects his body from almost all forms of physical harm including STDs, police officers, and jealous boyfriends. Includes the immunity to most known diseases, viruses and toxins.

Super genius-level intelligence - These enhanced mental capabilities permit him to get into the best schools, graduate with honors, and get the best internships even though he does not care about those things.

Inhuman verbal expressive skills - Mortal humans are incapable of resisting his powers of persuasion. The Misogynist is capable of delivering the best pick up lines, worst put-downs and talk his way out of any legal entanglements. Females, especially hot ones, are particularly vulnerable. It is a forgone conclusion that he will open his mouth and their panties will drop.

Immunity to Conscious - casually abandoning his friends to violence or Law Enforcement as he chases more empty pleasures which he will pursue again the next night.

Though largely invulnerable, The Misogynist is not perceived as being too sensational or unbelievable for modern audiences. He's a New York Times best seller. However, midway through the novel, The Misogynist seems unable to create suitable challenges for his powers. His adventures become redundant and predicable. How many ways can a superhero create chaos in public places or publicly humiliate a woman?

One shortcoming of this superhero melodrama is that The Misogynist needs a super villain. I suggest Hamartia. Hamartia could be sent by the gods to impose tragic actions on a The Misogynist for his fatal flaw. The Misogynist, due to some imperfection of character (narcissism), must make a fatal mistake, an error of judgment, which makes him "morally responsible" for the disasters he has caused. Hamartia's power would be to weaken The Misogynist's attitude of superiority and derail his ruthless pursuit of hedonism, and cause him to be trapped in a vortex of morality. In the vortex, The Misogynist is destined to agonize eternally over what he should have done differently if he was a mortal human being rather than a mythical superhero of our popular culture.

Summary of I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell

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."
