About this audiobook

Tucker Max graduated with high honors from the University of Chicago in 1998 and received an academic scholarship to Duke Law School, where he graduated in 2001, despite the fact that he spent part of one semester--while still enrolled in classes--living in Cancun. He took these degrees and set out to help the world--by drinking, hooking up, acting like an jerk, and then writing about it. The result, I HOPE THEY SERVE BEER IN HELL, is a collection of first-person tales of sex, alcohol, and mayhem that transport the reader into Tucker's comical, perverse, and oftentimes surreal world. Tucker will admit that many of his antics are completely juvenile and without excuse, but he approaches the stories of his life with brutal honesty, sparing no one, especially not himself.

    Hilarious read! Exactly the stuff I laugh about with my brother and friends, so of course I had to recommend it to them. Even though I read most of the parts out loud to them, it's a must-read because they probably couldn't understand my words while I was snickering.

    Funny in places... but mostly just rude.

    I'm not just speaking about the tales that Tucker Max chose to share in this book either, but also including his lack of writing skills. If it wasn't for his outrageousness, offensiveness, and general lack of a conscience, I don't think he would have been successful at all. His style is fine for his blog, where he chronicles his life and where, I presume, these stories originated. In book form, however, it sucks. Tucker Max seems to be his biggest fan, and I actually feel badly for him for when his moment of glory ends... I don't think he'll handle the crash well.

    I laughed so hard I cried, I may have even snorted a few times! The only thing that prevents me from giving this 5 stars is that the main character is such an a-hole that certain sections were hard for me to read. Definitely a great laugh!!

    This book is hilarious, but it has made me lose every moral standard I possessed prior to reading it. I'm going to see how long it takes for them to return.

    So Tucker Max isn't a lawyer because he think he can write? LOL. This is just a bunch of random stories put together in no specific order. They all start the same he's drunk, he's behaving like an asshole, yet somehow there are women who want to sleep with this. I've read his site before the books and was amused. But wow, just wow. He can't write to save his life (his grammar, I about died) but he can tell an amusing story. Some of the stories are questionable about how accurate he is portraying them, especially when he's like "I can't make this shit up" or "go ask so and so, he has no reason to lie for me" makes me wonder how true they are. He knows he was an asshole and still is and that a lot of people aren't laughing with him but at him and he can take it while laughing at himself. I can even respect the fact that he knew what he did when he was younger was fucked up, like lying to women and harassing anyone he please instead of just loud mouths bothering him, and actually grown as a person and realize he shouldn't lie because he doesn't have to to find a woman to sleep with him, just has to find women who are like him. I don't like how he talks about women sometimes, calling them whores and hoes, while doing the same things they do. I get he was young and dumb and he definitely seemed to mature up later in the book and not be such a asshole.

    So if you know anything about Tucker Max, you know he's absurdly sexist and ribald and anything but respectful of women. I can't deny, though, that he's a decent writer and tells a funny story -- which, although they are often at the expense of women he's dated, are almost as frequently at his own expense, which in my opinion covers a multitude of sins. I needed a book that would force me to laugh in spite of some very not-funny situations in my life currently, and this book fit the bill perfectly. Also, it made me absurdly grateful that I never dated Tucker Max, or anyone remotely resembling him.

    "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" by Tucker Max was hilarious. Tucker has made himself famous for being morally reprehensible, and it's amazing how little shame this man has. All told, though, it's a laugh riot, if you're not too disgusted by it. I think his friend SlingBlade sounds even funnier than Tucker is.

    The review on the cover from New York Times maybe describes it best. - 'Highly entertaining and thoroughly reprehensible." I had never heard of Tucker Max prior to this book. It follows his exploits during the early part of the millennium. He's a young man who drinks way too much and in turn becomes an ogre of a man he will insult anyone who comes near deserving or not. He also tells tales of his numerous sexploits. From meeting a girl from his website whom he calls fat to another young lady who's into watersports. Then there's another story where the girl actually comes out on top. He treats her badly and then she says she's got an STD and he needs checked which leads to a very painful procedure with a long metal object. It's really base humor and I really want to feel embarrassed for reading it, but that said it was very entertaining but he's a very bad man.

    Tucker Max is possible the absolute scum of the earth. However his book "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" had me laughing until the end. All in all i would hate to meet him in person but reading about his disgustingly ridiculous life not only made me feel better about myself but also gave me a good laugh.

    Disgusting, but entertaining. A lot of it is really funny, for fiction. But it is also very repetitive and gross (i.e., vomit,etc.). Definitely adults only. And most of them may be offended.The chlamydia story is indeed hilarious!He gives nicknames to all of his buddies. I don't remember finding out his nickname (Hurricane?).

    Horrible book. No a fun read makes you angry and annoyed at this man and people like him. Do not recommend.

    Rated 1 star for humor, because there is nothing humorous here. Lots of stories about drinking and sex, but not even interesting in the way that Bukowski is, say. Bumbling, inarticulate. I know these types of people only too well - I do not need to read about their 'adventures' here as well. These types of people baffle me. I admit it freely. What are they going to do with their lives?

    This'll teach me not to buy a book based on title alone. The blurb on the back begins like this: "My name is Tucker Max, and I am an asshole."Glad he is aware of that. Somehow that doesn't make it better.

    While Tucker Max's exploits are on the reprehensible side, he has a gift for telling a story and I actually ended up finishing this book in a single evening. If you enjoy reading stories in more of an "outside looking in" kind of situation, it's definitely not a bad read.

    Guy humor at it's best and, well, worst. Hilarious at times, but don't be fooled, this guy is an ass. Don't expect redemption (the last story made me sick), just go with it and you'll enjoy a few laughs.

    This book is terrible on so many levels. If this guy ever came around to do a book signing I would go out of my way to protest.

    I'll give Tucker Max one thing: he knows how to tell a story, and I'm sure he tells them well, too (especially over a drink or two - or twenty). Some of the stories aren't that spectacular unless you live in small-town America, maybe, and I know several "close friends" that could easily tell worse booze 'n sex stories from their private lives. After a few chapters the reader can't help but feel that the author was yes indeed an self-centred asshole (which the author readily admits to; and he probably still is, since his contrite asides ring very hollow), but also a small-minded bigot with serious masculinity issues. The first can be fun if tiresome, the second aspect is very unattractive. I couldn't help but think that this is the kind of guy for whom life will get progressively worse as his brain, his body and his relationships with other people will inevitably deteriorate under his destructive impulses. Not recommended.

    I honestly can't remember why I bought this book...maybe I needed a good laugh. I did find some of the stories in the book to be hilarious - the incident with Embassy Suites (readers of the book will know what I mean) had me laughing so hard that I was literally crying. However, after a while, the stories just kind of blurred together and weren't as funny anymore. There are only so many ways you can spin the "so I got drunk and hooked up with some stupid girl" story. I can't say that I regret reading the book, but I found myself skimming some of the stories towards the end so I'd be finished with it and could move onto something that didn't destroy my faith in my generation.

    Not quite as funny as I expected. Tucker is a bit of an asshole, at least he admits it. I liked the story of the woman who got back at him - good on her.

    I feel horrible saying this, but this book was hilarious. I know he's creul, and rude, and awful to women, but it's really pretty funny. Most women might not think so, so maybe it'd be better to recommend this to any guy.

    Funny, but it gets a little boring about half way through. There are only so many "drunk college stories" that can be entertaining. I doubt any of these are true, but it's an entertaining book.

    Funny, Funny, Funny I thought this book was great. Not for the prudes on this planet who need to read a little more off of Oprah's Book Club stuff...Wont be for them...My wife saw me laughing out loud several times picked up the book once I was finished and she loved it too...

    This book was so bad, I wish I could give it 0 stars. A few months ago I read an excerpt from it and thought it was hilarious. It was chosen as a book club read this month, so I had the opportunity to read the whole thing, which I just couldn't. I can't believe I paid money for this book, which basically is glorifying this guy's behavior. I could only take so much vomiting, pissing, other bodily fluids...not to mention how disrespectful and hateful he is of people, especially women (I am pretty open-minded, and not an obnoxious feminist, so it takes a lot for me to say that). If I were this guy's mother, I would be mortified at having raised that. I couldn't even finish the book (and I always finish the book no matter how bad it is). I did buy this book, but it will go straight to the recycle bin. It will not be passed on.
