About this ebook
Another installment in Tucker Max’s series of stories about his drunken debauchery and ridiculous antics. What began as a simple sentence on an obscure website, “My name is Tucker Max, and I am an asshole,” and developed into two infamously genre-defining books, I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell and Assholes Finish First, ends here.
But as you should expect from Tucker by now, he is going out with a bang—literally and figuratively. In this book, you’ll learn:
* How to live and work in Cancun, while still enrolled in Law School
* Why Halloween is really awesome
* How to subtly torture a highstrung roommate until he explodes with furious anger over a misplaced condiment
* What really happened when a dirty pageant girl tried to sue Tucker because he told the truth
* Why you should never accept a homemade treat from a hippie with a van
As we’ve come to learn from Tucker, assholes do finish first...but everything comes with a price.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5At page 300, I made the following note: 'I'm really, really, really glad I read this book!'Quotes or nearly quotes:Fact is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense (page 234).Pros:Being fired by his father (page 299 +/-).He was never a lawyer. He never took the bar. (pages 297-299).Applying for the Illinois Bar (page 303). I know the feeling (he vomited and threw the application away).Adam Carolla (page 365)Cons:What does he mean "teaching for Princeton Review" (page 300)?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Either you love Tucker Max or you hate him. I loved his first book, I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell; I recommended it to everyone I knew with a sense of humor. His second installment, Assholes Finish First, wasn't as good. I still read it, I still laughed at it, I still enjoyed it overall. That book seemed more like he was bragging, even cockier than in his first book, and it was tiresome. As for book number three, the tamer title gives the right impression. Tucker is all grown up. His writing has really evolved, and while you still get the sense of someone telling you a story, they're well-written, though not necessarily literary. The stories focus more on wild times with his friends than how he treats women (though there's still a fair amount of that). The reader gets a real sense of Tucker - how he grew up, how he engages with friends and family now, how he's thankful for his success. Don't let these sound like bad qualities - the book still had me cracking up until I cried. But there were sentences that rang of truth, of feeling, of a real person behind the words. Believe it or not, Tucker never stops encouraging people to live the life they want, not what's expected, and it's actually inspirational.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It's a Tucker Max book, you either love him or you hate him. More of his stories of his drinking past and some are just down right hilarious. Broken down into sections. His time in Cancun while he should have been taking classes in law school. Why Halloween is the greatest holiday. Friends from law school weddings. And a number of where girls have tried to pick him up sexting. Again you love him or hate him.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Tucker Max, a true genius (mad genius).
Check out his latest work (really helpful for guys) The Mating Grounds Podcast on iTunes, he's also releasing a book called "Mate" next year, along with several experts in evolutionary psychology & life. - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5must be the wrong demographic for this, he just comes off as an unfunny horse's ass
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fucking lols
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What can I say; it is a Tucker Max book. If a book, filled with stories about treating most women like whores and sluts, being politically incorrect, drinking mass quantities of alcohol, throwing up, and having a lot of random sex is offensive to you, you will NOT find this book funny. Although this is not as funny as "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" there are a couple of stories, especially "The Fat and the Furious" that are absolutely hilarious.
