About this audiobook

Tucker Max graduated with high honors from the University of Chicago in 1998 and received an academic scholarship to Duke Law School, where he graduated in 2001, despite the fact that he spent part of one semester--while still enrolled in classes--living in Cancun. He took these degrees and set out to help the world--by drinking, hooking up, acting like an jerk, and then writing about it. The result, I HOPE THEY SERVE BEER IN HELL, is a collection of first-person tales of sex, alcohol, and mayhem that transport the reader into Tucker's comical, perverse, and oftentimes surreal world. Tucker will admit that many of his antics are completely juvenile and without excuse, but he approaches the stories of his life with brutal honesty, sparing no one, especially not himself.

Ratings and reviews

I used to read these books on deployment and they were conversation starters and crowd creators. The audiobook has rushed editing and bored reading. Idk i feel personally that there could be more energy into the voice. I grasp the realism of the author in these situations but again i always read these with a smile. And i know it sounds weird but you can hear it...or lack of it.

I read this book years ago and loved it. The audio book is...awkward. The cadance of the readers voice is awkward. It just doesn't fit. It's difficult to understand at times because the tone and inflect of the voice doesn't fit the story.
