...Beer in Hell

[Mary]

Where do I begin...sometimes, when you travel, you just grab whatever books have an electronic copy available from the library. I've been lucky--I read The Help in this manner--but sometimes, you waste hours of your life that you will never get back.

...Beer in Hell is a memoir of sorts, recounting some amazing tales of debauchery and drunkenness that leave the reader wondering why the title character's liver didn't just up and leave by page 12.

Granted, in this no-holds barred recounting, Tucker Max doesn't try to gloss over things that sort of backfire and make him the butt end of the joke. (The section on Tucker being tested for an STD is actually comedy gold, especially with the twist ending.)

The best thing that I can say about this book is that it should be required reading for any young woman on her way to college, so that it can be used as a guide or handbook on how to avoid men like Tucker Max and still have a good time and not hate yourself in the morning.

His tales are too amazing. Tucker Max is a liar who made a lot of coin from old college wives tales that he spun as his own.

I read his book quite awhile ago and already heard a bunch of these stories that were dubbed as college folklore from friends that I used to party with in college.

He got nailed on this radio show lying through his teeth...

Who cares if he lied or made it up.....it was damn funny!

Yeah, ya know, who cares about integrity, right?

If I am going to read a memoir of sorts, I expect that the tales are true. This was a one time, why did I waste my time read. I shake my head that some of these women knew of his tales and wanted to be used. I would also recommend this book to girls going into college, and possibly even while attending high school. Tuckers stories are the typical frat boy stories.

Yes, of course, Paul. After reading this silly piece of nothing, the one thing you'd expect from the author based on the content of each short story is honesty. And it's the possibility that these stories are fiction that demonstrate he lacks integrity.

Assuming that he IS in fact telling true stories, and not writing silly fiction, then there is no questioning his decency, his steadfast morality, and his outstanding character.

You might be trying to make the worst argument I've ever encountered.

This book is non-fiction like Streiber's Communion is non-fiction. And to get worked up about it sure seems silly and pointless to me.

This is a hard book to admit liking. Tucker Max is completely debauched and the women he encounters go along for the ride (astonishingly!). I had seen the film first (was attracted by the title), then found the book. The stories are hilarious, dirty and unbelievable in the fact that they are (supposed to be)true! There's nothing redeeming about the author, his friends or the women that populate these anecdotes. Don't read this if you're looking for a happy ending (pun totally not intended). That said, it was still quite funny, although I suggest reading in small doses (just to catch your breath and shake your head in wonderment)!
