Last weekend, while having possibly the worst experience I've ever had while flying, I picked up I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell by Tucker Max. This might be one of the most highly offensive books I've ever read, and the most hilarious at the same time. I mean... this guy is an ass... he's a bad person, period. He does things to women that no sane person would ever do, treats people like shit, and generally does some of the stupidest things I've ever read or heard about while drinking. And yet... hilarious. I sometimes felt like a bad person for enjoying the book, but it's funny the shit he gets into and does. Probably because it hasn't happened to me, but whatever. Some of the girls in his stories are asking for it. I was trying to decide why I thought this was funny, and I realized, that while I am not friends with anyone that is as terrible a person as Tucker Max, I have many friends that have one or two Tucker Max qualities. Seriously- most of the boys that I am good friends with have some of these qualities. And sometimes it's what I love about them and other times it's what I hate about them. But overall, it is what it is. The thing that does make all of it OK though is that my friends know who they are, and Tucker Max does too... he knows he's an ass and a bad person, and he's good with that. In the end, I have to respect him for at least admitting that the things he does make him a bad person. Better that than trying to pretend that he isn't like that.
Overall: A on the book... but skim some of the stories before buying. Like I said- fairly offensive, especially if you don't find that kind of stuff funny.
