I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell

Tucker Max

Reviewed by Corey Huffman

                Tucker Max is an amazing author with an astonishing story to tell come and read I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell. Throughout this story Tucker makes it more than known how he lives and who his enemies and friends are. This is a man who is loved by few and hated by fewer; although he has relationships that last a week or less he looks forward to everyday. To put it plan and short he is a promiscuous, but the women love him and the people are attracted to his charismatic personality.

            “My name is Tucker Max, and I am an Idiot and jerk toward people. I get excessively drunk at inappropriate times, disregard social norms, indulge every whim, ignore the consequences of my actions, mock idiots and posers, sleep with more women than is safe or reasonable, and just generally act like a raging dickhead. But I do contribute to humanity in one very important way: I share my adventures with the world,” (Back of the book).  This man is one who does what he wants and doesn’t care what the consequences are.

            Meanwhile Tucker Max has a friend called “Sling Blade” who is a similar person to many people you can relate to, laid back and really doesn’t care what is going on. “Sling Blade” just lies back and waits for things to come to him, thus making him less predictable. This character was met at collage where Tucker Max and he became best friends.

This book would most likely fall into non-fiction bibliography/ life genre, because almost every event in the book comes true during the reading of the novel. I would say that this book is largely true and is based off this guy’s main life which is dramatic. He lives the life of a man who never learned how to regulate things, so as a result he does things that most people would find strange and completely wicked. Tucker did an astonishing job making the novel seem as if you were in the places with Tucker Max and he was someone that you might know.

Tucker Max did an amazing job narrating his life, to such an extent that readers have raved that he is “Disgusting, vile, repulsive, repugnant, and a foul creature,” (Back of the book). This is just an extent of how he explains events throughout his book, which makes it hard for people to believe that a person like this could even be real. He made the book such a real and believable story that you begin to think about someone you know that reminds you of these characters. I personally believe after you read this novel you can point out five to ten people you may know that fit these characters.        

This author wrote this novel to speak to other people like him so they can change their lives before they make the same mistakes. This author wrote this novel in a house in Boston based on his real events that happened in his life. These characters throughout this book portray all the real characters in real life. These people are portrayed as the author remembers them so some of the facts about these characters like their mood and personality are only as he remembers them.

This author makes you completely feel engulfed inside the plot, only because you can completely relate themselves to yourself and friends. This novel can be seen through your eyes only because there are people like this out there throughout the world that will stab you in the back. This author does a wonderful job on explaining the characters for example, their emotions, there moods and thoughts of the character really well.

To find out what happens when Tucker Max lives his life of being an idiot and jerk toward people; you need to tune into his life in which is filled with drama and heart shed. Secondly if you would like to find out what happens to an idiot when life catches up with him stay tuned and read the book.
