Book Review: I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell

i definitely feel as though i lost a few brain cells after reading this "gem" by tucker max. it's an "autobiography" (read: highly exaggerated) by a self-proclaimed douchebag. and yet somehow it wound up on the new york times bestseller list, was made into a movie and he has a follow up book appropriately entitled Assholes Finish First. any guy i mention this book to seems to automatically recognize/acknowledge it and will even go so far as to credit this loser as some sort of idol to all men everywhere. the book essentially follows tucker's drunken and sexual escapades with his equally douchey friends. and throughout his journey, tucker is there to remind you how he is a celebrity/god for writing this crap (read: extremely insecure). what self-respecting woman would hook up with him, especially after reading his book? he is every girl's worst nightmare: he developed his own demeaning female rating system, and some of the stuff he writes about (confronting ugly/fat women, etc) is anything but humourous. and yet he claims to have quite the following. i've seen pictures of this dude - he is not the most amazing piece of eye candy i've ever seen...he actually reminds me of a nerdy boyfriend on Sex and the City.
