That being said, this is still a very funny book. My favorite part was hearing the whole back story on MissVermont, the woman who sued Max. Dec 31, Lori rated it it was ok Shelves: non-fiction , memoir. Tucker Max says himself that he's an asshole. And he is. But somehow, as unpolitically correct as it is His stories of his drunken debauchery are amusing You don't want to be in one, but you can't look away either. This one was less shocking than They Serve Beer in Hell but still not for the faint hearted.
Feb 09, Cole rated it really liked it. An almost melancholy end to an era. Less funny than his previous endeavors, but still worth a few hearty laughs, Hilarity Ensues calmly and rationally ends the way it should. Tucker Max shows his growth and depth as a human being going through life. Feb 13, Jason rated it really liked it. You can definitely tell that he's running out of things to talk about in this book but it was still entertaining.
It's probably good that this is his last book of this genre. I think that I liked the text messages the most and there were a few good lines that definitely made me laugh. Dec 12, Lauren rated it liked it. Mar 11, Eric Giang added it. I didn't really finish it. Too hard to get through knowing what kind of a person the author is.
The escapades of this author gets less funny and more annoying as you continue through the book. Jul 06, Ben Tipper rated it really liked it. This one, contrary to The Leftovers, was not old. He lives his life in a selfishly admirable way; everything he does is for his own enjoyment, and he has a shitton of fun. He does stuff that I would never be able to do because of fear.
Recommended as a pleasure read, dude is hilarious, intelligent, and goes out and lives life in a way most of us can only dream of. Feb 26, Sparrow rated it liked it Shelves: humor , comedy , memoir , nonfiction. I suppose the only reason I continued was because it's an easy read and I wanted to feel complete.
Tucker Max is a deplorable human being. I don't know why he bothers trying to rationalize the horrible things he says and does. But it doesn't stop me from reading it, does it? It's some sort of escapism, or perhaps the relief of reading something so incredibly unfiltered.
Or just because it's easy. I'm not sure really. But it's done. And it was fun, I guess? I think I liked reading the full Miss Vermont story best of all, and some of the stories were amusing. But for the most part, forgettable and more of a palette cleanser until my next good book. Crude, rude, sexist, and full of unapologetically truthful nudes—this book is a crass anthropological foray into the mind of a successful womanizing asshole.
However, for all of his sins the man is painfully honest. He does not try to defend his actions, nor cover them up to make himself look better. I can't remember when I first read it, but it was probably some time in college when I wasn't quite ready to recognize how actually misogynistic and terrible these stories actually are. To Max's credit, he is able to retell these stories in a way that was to me, at the time pretty funny and there are even times where he admits how truly wrong he was in certain situations.
Even so, this collection is easily the weakest of the three I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell and Assholes Finish First are t I can't remember when I first read it, but it was probably some time in college when I wasn't quite ready to recognize how actually misogynistic and terrible these stories actually are.
Even so, this collection is easily the weakest of the three I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell and Assholes Finish First are the other two and seeing this in my list of Amazon purchases is a stark reminder of the person I used to be.
Jan 07, Julia rated it did not like it. I actually just saw that this guy now has very weird Covid conspiracies and wrote an article on his website in which he drew very inappropriate comparisons between unvaccinated people beim asked to quarantine and people in concentration camps in Nazi Germany.
Those comparisons will always be incredibly insensitive and tasteless. It expose the person writing them for not understanding what oppression really is or what horrors Jewish people had to go through during the nazi regime and are still goi I actually just saw that this guy now has very weird Covid conspiracies and wrote an article on his website in which he drew very inappropriate comparisons between unvaccinated people beim asked to quarantine and people in concentration camps in Nazi Germany.
It expose the person writing them for not understanding what oppression really is or what horrors Jewish people had to go through during the nazi regime and are still going through today. To sum it up: fuck this guy. Jan 05, Jesse Flood rated it it was amazing. A lot more great true stories from Tucker. But the book while all true, should be read for entertainment value and nothing more.
For even Tucker by the end will tell you that when he wrote the book, he has matured beyond his fratire years and became married with children. A great end to a book series. Aug 11, Muriel rated it it was ok. But I do applaud the author for living his life the way he wants to and staying true to himself. Jan 28, Brooklyn Byers rated it really liked it Shelves: books. This was very funny and a very crazy life to read about.
The only thing is sometimes I found it hard to read from spots I found boring or uninteresting, but hey it's an autobiography basically. Overall it made me laugh like it was meant to and I really liked it. Mar 06, Kris added it. My first zero star book! What a pathetic moron. There WERE two hilarious parts of the book though May 24, The Ether rated it it was ok. Not as good as the first one, and it appears as though he's trying too hard now.
It's all about his schtick and being vile solely to have material for his book. Jan 10, Diego Leal rated it it was ok. BS that is somewhat entertaining. I assume that a lot of stuff he claims never happened or was greatly exaggerated.
May 13, Jared Beck rated it it was amazing. Freaking hilarious. He does stuff that I would never be able to do because of fear.
He makes no excuses for his a-hole, nihilistic attitude and does not seem to care if he hurts anyones feelings in hilaeity process of getting laid.

And if it is possible to allow us by giving some information, we will be very pleased. The solutions offered by the medical community were dangerous, expensive and ineffective, so he figured it out himself. In the first Mating Grounds guide, Tucker describes the exact methods he used.
For most start-ups, getting to product-market fit is the hardest part. For us, it was easy; it pretty much came by accident. We did k in our first two months, and k in 5 months—with just two pieces of media and two people in the company doing everything. The book details where to find a job, how to apply, interviewing tactics, accepting or declining an offer, and finally, how to survive your first job. After which watch your market come to you! I previously posted two clips from the show, but recently discovered the full audio is now available on YouTube.
Like other reviewers have mentioned, he gets back to some of the more comedic instances involving his friends. I have to say, the "Hate" stories absolutely had me in stitches. He's funny, clever, and honest - just do yourself a favor and read it. Feb 09, Justin rated it liked it Shelves: biographies , arcs-and-from-work.
Basically what I expected from Tucker Max, no more, no less. Some of the stories were really funny, while others just kind of made me shake my head and groan.
It must have been a fun time collecting all these stories, but at the same time I'm not surprised at Max's epilogue and essentially his retirement from his 20's. The one thing I wasn't really a fan of was his over-the-top arrogance in his stories. The other two opened with some kind of preface about who he is and what he does, this one just Basically what I expected from Tucker Max, no more, no less.
The other two opened with some kind of preface about who he is and what he does, this one just kind of assumed that everyone was aware of who he is and why he's a big deal. Not that I didn't expect narcissism, I just didn't expect it so blatantly in his style of writing.
I generally liked this book, because it was still hilarious but does show a different side of Tucker Max. He wants marriage and children, and he's finally at that point in his life where he realizes that he won't get it through drinking and whoring his life away. I mean, early 30's is a little late for that kind of epiphany, but better late than never. I hope he finds what he's looking for, and finds success with writing that's not 'fratire' as he calls his stories. Additionally, I'm really looking forward to seeing new books by him, maybe something with some kind of sustenance?
He's a fantastic storyteller so I'm sure a work of fiction by him would be good. I mean, it can't be worse than Snooki's 'A Shore Thing', can it? Feb 07, Aaron rated it really liked it. Not quite as good as the original book, but far funnier than book two Much like the first book, I often found myself laughing out loud in very public places at the ridiculousness, which turned several a head.
Not too many books can accomplish that. Not with me, anyway. You may not like him, you may find his content to be childish or inappropriate, but you have to at least give hi Not quite as good as the original book, but far funnier than book two You may not like him, you may find his content to be childish or inappropriate, but you have to at least give him credit for being a good story teller.
Dude can write a funny tale better than most. This book is worth the read solely for The Miss Vermont Story and also his sexting interludes, where he basically ridicules women who have discovered his cell number and try to initiate sexting with him.
Classic stuff. There's also a great one for fans of The Deadliest Catch in here too.
