Laugh out loud funny. Obnoxious. Repulsive. Vulgar. Brilliant.
Tucker Max blends his intellect and vast stupidity into one amazingly funny novel. A collection of short stories that he insists are true, leave you saying, "There's no way he did that!" I don't care if he embellished his stories, I found myself laughing hysterically while reading IHTSBIH and I read the stories aloud to friends who were curious as to what was so funny. IHTSBIH is an epidemic: drunk college boys want to be Tucker Max and drunk college girls want to sleep with him. My favorite character is Tucker's friend, Slingblade. Single greatest sidekick in literary history!

Disgusting, but hilarious read. Not for the easily offended.

If you want a book that doesn’t require you to think, then this is your book. If you want a series of ridiculous stories that don’t require you to tap into your moral compass, then this is your book. This book is hilarious. As a woman of color who has occupied many white spaces and has had to cast aside her safety and comfort to make nice with white folks and participate in their at times dangerous and offensive humor, you may enjoy this book. I read this when I was like 23. I was naive to the world and didn’t apply the nuances that make or break these sorts of situations. At almost 36, this book is ridiculously funny. It’s also wildly inappropriate and coddles the privileged experiences of white men who at the time never heard the word accountability a day in their lives. If you are looking for a mindlessly funny read… go for it. If you want substance….this won’t be for you.

I did laugh at parts, mostly in disgust or disbelief. Definitely not a book that most women would enjoy.

This guy's a complete d-bag. I only read it because it was chosen by my book club. Let it be known I borrowed it from a friend who borrowed it from the library. No way was I contributing to his royalties by actually purchasing the book. I made the mistake of reading a few of his blog entries a few years ago and as it turns out he basically recycled many of them for use in his "book."

Not horrible but typical. While Max makes it known he only preys upon a certain type of woman (the insecure type), he does own up to his actions. That he owns up to everything doesn't make him an asshole, necessarily. It does make him an insecure man himself, which comes out in the book. I will also give him credit for the statements he makes to women (to women readers) on being treated with respect. I was shocked but pleased. He is right in regards to those statements.

It's funny, but his arrogance is annoying enough to ruin it.

Tucker Max is clearly a terrible person, but his honesty is refreshing. I think it is important for girls to read books like this, just to remind them that some guys are terrible terrible assholes. as much as I wanted to believe some of the stories weren't true I don't doubt them for a second, & I definitely found myself laughing out loud very hard and for a very long time more than once.

Tucker Max was not lying when he said he was an asshole. I laughed out loud to this book. Crude and disgusting, but hilarious. I was not offended by this book one bit, and really no girl should be. Unless maybe one of the stories was about you..
