I hate myself for laughing at this book. I really do. This book is why fathers meet their daughters dates with shotguns. This book should be standard issue with baby girls. Yes, Daddies of the world, as far as you're concerned, Tucker Max is the Antichrist.
This book is a cross between Dan Merchant and B. Scott Taylor's "The Great American Stay-at-home Wives Conspiracy" and Chad Kultgen's "The Average American Male." Out of the three, This book is the better read. This book is the inner monologue belonging to THAT friend; The one who is fine and nice and cool, until you put a few drinks in them, and then you don't want to admit you know them. Not only is this book written by that guy - It is the glorifcation of that guy.
I should note, I read the updated edition with extras and all that jazz. I'm not sure of all the additional information makes a difference, but it's nice to get some resolution to a few odd situations.
I'll admit I have a guilty pleasure of reading "fratire." I'll pick up a drunk meathead's poorly written tales of sexual woes long before I'll even think to pick up something like "The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing" by Melissa Bank.
Two and a half out of four stars.
It would be great if it was a glorification of THAT guy, except that THAT guy isn't THAT guy. He is THAT guy in as much as he's an asshole with absolutely no consideration for others. He hacked my email account, sold some webdomains I registered on godaddy, and needs to get his ass kicked by someone with a vested interest in seeing him pay the price his actions necessitate.
ReplyDeleteTucker accepted a fight from Michael Ian Black as a PR stunt. Too bad Tibor TaMpAX - as he prefers to be called - is too much of a bleeding vagina to accept one from me, a disabled veteran.
As far as being THAT guy, he's a fake. There's almost an industry dedicated to proving just how James Frey the guy is. Google Search: Tucker Max is a lying douchebag. Enjoy.
Zero stars out of infinite.
Other than that, keep up the good work. I look forward to more posts in the future.
P.S.
This is the first time I've seen your blog and while I don't necessarily agree with your selection of Harry Potter books, Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers has redeemed your name in my eyes. You might also want to check out Final Exits by Michael Largo. That's a good one.
