The best gift for the dudes and bros in your life: the fratire New York Times bestseller Assholes Finish First, featuring twenty-five new and exclusive stories by Tucker Max.

What do you do after you write a #1 bestselling book about your drunken, sexual misadventures that makes you rich and famous? Celebrate by getting more drunk and having insane amounts of sex, obviously. And pretty soon you’ve got another bestselling book on your hands.

Stuffed full of ridiculous stories of bad decisions, debauchery, and sexual recklessness, Assholes Finish First starts where I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell left off, then proceeds to “some next-level shit.”

You already know how women react to confidence, game, and vodka, but what happens when you add money and fame to the mix? You get answers to the hard questions you've never thought of asking:

• What’s it like to have sex with a midget? What about two midgets?
• What does it do to a man to watch a nineteen-year-old do wind sprints to sober up, so that she can have sex with you before her twin sister does?
• At what number of virgins does deflowering them stop being fun and start feeling like a job?
• When a girl you met three hours ago decides to tattoo your name on her body, what is the appropriate reaction?

The answers are inside, they are absurd and hilarious, and they are the product of one man's experiences:

His name is Tucker Max, and he is still an asshole.

This is a great sequel to the 1st.... this guy is a colorful writer. Do NOT read it if you offended easily or offended by crude language or topics. Especially if you are sensitive to degrading women. I'm sure I would think this guy was a Jerk if any of this stuff happened to me or any of my close friends. As a reader I literally fell off my couch laughing at his stories I think to myself thank goodness I don't actually know this guy, but if I did I would definitely want to get on his good side! I'm sure there is something not quite right for me, finding humor in such things.

Max's always great. Cannot pick which of his books is better than the others. If you like one, the rest are just as essential. And his writing style is truly superior than maybe 90% of other authors. Easily.

Not as funny as the first....

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2011

Verified Purchase

I loved the first book. I read it cover to cover in 2 days, and laughed out loud the whole time. This one is just ok. First of all, there were multiple stories in it that were in the first book. Second, instead of having hilarious stories it was more like a brag book of sexual conquests post fame. His writing, of course, it what saved it, but after I read a story and though about it I realized for example, "Wait, that story was just about a girl who peed in his bed, everyone has done that or had it done." What I'm saying is that once you think about the stories were actually saying you realize they weren't that interesting. Of course there were a few great ones, but not enough to make the book good, and so I feel like he was just reaching for stories in this one and fluffing them with his clever style of writing. Toward the end, I really just couldn't wait until I was done. Would recommend the first, but not this one.

Funny, yet wrong

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2011

Verified Purchase

There is a part of me that is embarrassed to admit buying this book. It is crude, disrespectful to women, minorities, and people with disabilities. It was also very funny. One of the admirable qualities of Max is that he doesn't view his actions through rose-colored glasses. He is critical of himself, but I suspect that is so people like me will write a favorable line.

One of the issues I have with the book is that a good chunk of the material is reprinted from his website. I get that the guy has to build his audience via the site, but since he had another book in the chamber, it might have been better to write all original content.

If you are a college kid, you will like this book. If you are a college kid's mom - you should probably keep looking for less poop-focused book.

Solid, but not as Robust as Some Might Want

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2011

Verified Purchase

I've been familiar with Tucker Max, his stories, and his site for awhile now. In case you're not, he's famous for publicizing his outlandishly wild, drunken/sexual exploits. Those who can laugh at such uncouth humor will love his stories. Those who can't will hate them.
Recently I was in the book store and noticed this on the shelf. I read a story out of it at the store (laughing more than once), ordered it through Amazon later and finished (most of) it.

The verdict? Funny, but not exactly the drop dead hilarity some might want, especially veteran fans. Many reviewers here have said "if you read 'I Hope They Serve Beer...', you'll be disappointed by this". I've never read that earlier book of his so I can't say how true that is. But I'd believe it. To be fair though, if you've never read Tucker's previous writing, you'll probably find almost all of this to be hilarious.

Either way, there are legitimately funny stories here even for diehard fans: Duke Law School Bullhorn story, Halloween party story, Tuckerfest weekend story, etc. There's maybe around 6 good to really good stories in the book. But there's lots of filler material that, frankly, hurts Tucker's legitimacy as a humor writer. For example, most of the chapters that are collections of 'short stories'. Like a litany of one-liners Tucker said to women while he was in bed with them? Not funny or print-worthy.

Also, despite Tucker's often admirable, hilarious displays of chutzpah, his writing comes across as annoyingly pompous sometimes, as if he's trying to overcome small nagging insecurities about himself. While Tucker is unquestionably charismatic beyond belief (and has some right to be arrogant), I suspect his charisma and "awesomeness" don't extend quite as far as he'd like others to believe. Nor are his philosophical insights as deep or accurate as some might think. Then again I've never met the man.

In sum: you'll love this book and should probably buy it if you're thick-skinned and have never heard of Tucker Max before. If you're thick-skinned, but are already familiar with Tucker's previous writing, expect some good stories, but nothing necessarily beyond his previous writing. If you can't stand uncouth humor, you'll absolutely hate this book and should likely avoid it. If you're unsure, visit his site, read his stories online to see if this book is for you.

3.5/5

P.S. The book reads very easily, which is a huge plus.

This should be required reading for all males. Tucker Max is the person we should all aspire to become. At least at having the ability to "man up" to many of the challenges that come to us in our lives, this will shove a backbone down each of us. I liked it so much from reading a copy provided by a friend that I had to buy my own copy. Whenever I feel like I'm backing down in life, I'm going to pick this up and read it again!

Tucker Max Bände 2 und 3: Assholes finish first & Hilarity ensues

Reviewed in Germany on July 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

Nach seinem 2006er Überraschungserfolg „ I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell “ ließ Tucker Max sich lange Zeit, einen Nachfolger zu veröffentlichen. Als es 2010 dann endlich soweit war, dass „Assholes finish first“ auf den Markt kommen konnte, kündigte er dafür sofort einen weiteren Band, „ Hilarity Ensues “, an. Dieser erschien dann auch nur wenig als ein Jahr später.

Tucker Max wurde in den frühen 2000er Jahren zu einer der ersten großen Internetberühmtheiten. Nachdem er im Jahr 2001 sein Buch der besten Anmachsprüche („ The Definitive Book of Pick-Up Lines “) mit nur bescheidenem Erfolg veröffentlicht hatte, erlangte 2002/2003 mit seiner Website in Windeseile eine erstaunliche Popularität. Auf seiner Website veröffentlichte er extrem lustige Kurzgeschichten zu seinen regelmäßigen Alkohol- und Sex-Eskapaden. Dies führte 2003 zu der Veröffentlichung seines ersten Buches, „ Belligerence & Debauchery: The Tucker Max Stories: 1 “.
Im Jahr 2006 befand sich seine Popularität dann auf einem neuerlichen Rekordhoch, was er für die Veröffentlichung seines dritten Buches "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" nutzte. Dieses enthielt die besten Geschichten seines Buches „Belligerence & Debauchery“, sowie seine neusten Abenteuer. Da diese Veröffentlichung das Vorgängerbuch im Grunde obsolet machte, gilt seither „I hope they serve beer in hell“ als Tucker Max’s erstes Buch, und auch er selbst veschweigt die Vorgänger gerne. Die atemberaubenden Verkaufszahlen des Buches, das sogar den ersten Platz der New York Times Bestsellerliste erreichte, ließen auch Tucker Max’s Erfolg explodieren. Und so folgte eine (schlechte) Verfilmung des Buches ( I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell (Rental) [DVD ]). Mit der Veröffentlichung der Bücher „Assholes finish first“ und „Hilarity Ensues“ bringt Tucker Max nun, sechs Jahre später, diese erstaunliche Erfolgsgeschichte zu Ende.

In den Jahren seit der Veröffentlichung von "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" hat Tucker Max wieder so einiges erlebt und durchgemacht, aber für zwei komplette Bücher reicht es dann eben doch nicht. Und so enthalten die beiden Bände wieder einmal viele alte Geschichten. Manche kennt der alte Fan bereits von der Website oder aus „Belligerence & Debauchery“, andere blieben teilweise über 10 Jahre unveröffentlicht. Das Letzteres wohl damit zu begründen ist, dass Max sie selbst für nicht gut genug für eine Veröffentlichung hielt, liegt dabei wohl auf der Hand. Aber hier wurde eben ein wenig Füllmaterial benötigt.
Vom Aufbau her unterscheiden sich „Assholes finish first“ und „Hilarity Ensues“ von ihren Vorgängern. Waren bei diesen noch viele lustige Kurzgeschichten einfach aneinander gereiht, sind die neuen Bücher grob nach Themenkomplexen geordnet. So gibt es in „Assholes finish first“ z.B. Kurzgeschichten zu Tuckers Sexual to-do list oder den Themenkomplexen „Jungfrauen“, „Was Tucker alles für Sex tut“ oder „Tattoos“. In "Hilarity Ensues“ gibt es Themenkomplexe wie “Halloween“, „Tuckers Freund Hate“ oder zu den Junggesellenabschieden und Hochzeiten von Tuckers Freunden. Gerade bei diesen Komplexen merkt man dann, das viel Füllmaterial verwendet wurde um genügend Kurzgeschichten zu den Themen zusammen zu bekommen. Richtig gut sind dagegen zumindest teilweise wieder die großen eigenständigen Geschichten, die immer wieder zwischendurch eingestreut wurden. Hier gibt es ein paar Kapitel, die tatsächlich so lustig sind wie einige Geschichten aus „I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell“.

Insgesamt fallen „Assholes finish first“ und „Hilarity Ensues“ aber deutlich gegen den Vorgänger ab. Dies liegt mit Sicherheit auch daran, dass die Geschichten letztlich eben doch immer von den selben Themen handeln, und sich vieles wiederholt. Aber das Hauptproblem liegt eindeutig daran, dass hier Material für ein Buch auf zwei Bücher gestreckt werden musste. So gibt es zwar immer mal wieder ein paar gute Lacher, aber es kommt eben auch Langweile auf. Und im Vergleich zu "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell“ fallen beide Bücher doch deutlich ab. Wer dennoch nicht genug hat, kann sich auch noch die Outtakes der beiden Bücher als kostenloses E-Book herunterladen: „ Sloppy Seconds: The Tucker Max Leftovers “.
So ist es vielleicht doch nicht so schlecht, dass Tucker Max sich mit „Hilarity ensues“ aus dem von ihm geprägten Genre „Fratire“ zurückzieht, und sich künftig als Romanautor versuchen möchte. Und das er mit mittlerweile Ende 30 für den von ihm beschriebenen Lebensstil auch zu alt ist, hat er ebenfalls eingesehen: In einem ausführlichen Interview mit Michael Ellsberg von Forbes beschreibt er seinen radikalen Wandel. Die berühmten „Tucker Max Stories“ dürften also tatsächlich zu Ende sein.

Tucker Max cannot be described in just a few sentences. Although claiming to be "awesome", Tucker is far more. He is a mixture between a childish daredevil who loves to fool around a lot and a profound, smart, even crudely and honest character who should not be underestimated. Kaiser Wilhelm II once said in his Hun Speech to his troops: "Should you encounter the enemy, he will be defeated! No quarter will be given! Prisoners will not be taken!" Likewise Tucker Max scores more vicotries than defeats and makes no prisoners. Although he captures the avid reader (me) with being honest to others and also, more important, to himself. Tucker is like a whirlwind, wherever he hits his target, he hits it precisely and staight to the point.
