Customer Reviews

A highly uplifting collection of modern day fables.
Tucker Max's writing, anthologised in this book, works on a number of different levels. It provides, in the blunt and unadulterated style that flows through the cult movement of writing that has been christened 'fratire' (exponents include internet satirists Maddox and Robert Hamburger, as well as Max himself) a hilarious glimpse into the surreal universe that is Tucker Max's life. The titles of many of the stories alone (i.e. The Blowjob Follies) instantly conjure the image of peurile, "gross out", post Farelley brothers humour, but these stories are much more then that. Max is a tremendous writer, and how he turns the experiences of his life into not only hilarious comedy, but also morality tales, social satire, and character studies is nothing short of genuis. The dialouge (again, all real) is superb: witty, subtle, and instantly qoutable, whilst Max's insightful narration is eqauly amusing.

The strength of the book are how the stories come alive. The subject matter of the stories themselves are extreme enough, but it is the little details that Max injects into his tales that provide some of the book's more glorious moments. Add to that a superb cast of characters, all Max's real life friends, each with there own quirks and back stories that make them both endearing and repulsive in eqauly hilarious measures. None more so then Max himself; behind his narcassistic, manipulative persona appears to be someone who knew what sort of life he wanted, and decided that he was going to live that life, regardless of the consequences.

And that seems to be the highly uplifting moral and subtext of the whole book. Beneath the drunken revelry and carnal disarray, Tucker Max's message to the world is that life is all about choices; choose to be yourself, choose to forget the rules that govern social interaction, choose not to sacrifice the life you want to have by worrying about acceptance and aprooval. And that message is far, far from the worst that the world can be exposed to.

If they serve beer in hell, then mine's a pint!
Everyone has got stories, Everyone has got funny tales they tell to their mates down the pub. Nothing you will have heard will be funnier than Tucker Max. Well written and an easy read. It's a hard book to put down and even harder book to read on public transport. Apparently, it's not the done thing to laugh out loud!

Hits the spot -- A fun and goofy Amazon pick!
No, it's not sophisticated and yeah, this book is like snack food, it's true. But since I needed a few laughs I thought I might check it out. Damn, if it isn't funny. Basically, it's a series of true life reckless anecdotes. The bluntness and lack of pretention makes them appealing somehow -- like gossip from the screw-up mate: 'You'll never believe what happened to me last night!...' This is the perfect book to read in the loo, straight up. Add it to your shopping cart ('cause remember there's free shipping)!
