Book Reviews of I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell
Book Review: Gets old fast
Summary: 2 Stars
I read this book because a good friend of mine recommend it to me. "You gotta read this book man!" he said "it's the funniest thing I've ever read!" guided by my friend's gushing description I decided to borrow his copy. I will admit, the first handful of stories where every funny but I began to see a tend. You read a few stories you've read the whole book. It just becomes a constant cycle of "This one time when I was drunk" or "This one time a slept with this chick and something weird happened" or "this one time my friends and I had a crazy night on the town". As I read I had a feeling that Mr. Max may have indeed had some crazy things happen to him but doesn't take a lot of imagination to just make these stories up. He does have a need to entertain his audience. So I'm calling B.S. If you want a couple of MTV's Jackass type chuckles then this is your book. Otherwise I found it to be a waste of time.Book Review: His Story, Not Yours
Summary: 5 Stars
Here is to everyone who thinks Tucker Max is dumb, immature, spoiled, etc.
He IS!! He proclaims it in the first line of the back cover. He did not write the book to state how sweet or nurturing he is. His book is just a compilation of his best stories from his website. I can not imagine how everyone would react to his "Midget Story" (his words not mine) and his "I had Sex with an Amputee" Story.
He doesn't talk women or men to doing anything and that is what makes it funny. I know women who would do exactly what he wrote about. Overall this book is filled with raunchy humor. IF you love raunchy humor, buy the book. If not then don't read his book. I personally LOVED the book since it made me crack up. My honest recommendation is to visit his website before buying the book.
To all those IHTSBIH haters, guess what they made a movie out of it. :-)

I just have a few things to say about this book. It is amazing that people can badmouth this book, weighing that if you read the back cover it is a warning of what is inside and if that is not what you are into then dont read the book. Books are supposed to be entertaining and Tucker Max using his real life story has managed to entertain myself and many of the other guys in my command structure here in Iraq. I passed the book around and many people have read a chapter and said, "Where did you get this, I am ordering one tonight and then so be it." I just wanted to leave this n here because if you are looking for an entertaining book of life events (which some could be the same as yours since Tucker Max was an average guy) then you should purchase this book although it is not for the weak stomached people in the world it does make for a great read.Book Review: mildy entertainng for awhile
Summary: 2 Stars
I hope they serve been in hell, is a mildly entertaininig book to read, i don't read very often and decided to read this on deployment, for awhile its hilarious, but only because it really brings back stupid things that you did in highschool or college. i give this a 2 star because although ive heard some stories from a third grader that are funnier, some of the stories he talks about are hilarious because i could relate to them. I read this book because i wanted to read about how big of a douche bag this guy really is, and he is a pretty big one, high iq + duke law degree doesnt mean you cant have fun, but should be smart enough to realize when your an alcoholic, this guy gets his kicks off demoralizing woman, and making fun of fat girls. I hope he writes another book on him getting his ass kicked after writing this book, that would be a winner.Book Review: Don't Buy This Book
Summary: 1 Stars
Greetings,
Do not purchase this book. I have no issues with the content of the book; just the poor writing style. The book is so poorly written that I question if an editor was even involved. Much like his life, the writing is equally shallow. I assume the author wanted to replicate the atmosphere one experiences when friends get together at a bar and tell stories. He just fails miserably.
I do recommend his blog. His writing style, or lack of, is much better suited for short blog entries. His lack of focus, which plagues his book, is not a problem since the entries tend to be shorter.
Overall, I equate this book to watching monkeys throwing feces at each other. It's really funny for the first three minutes but it gets really old really fast.
