Let's not beat around the bush. (IHTSBIH)

Alright, I had heard some things about this book-- it being a hilarious documented version of Tucker Max's driunken sexcapades and wild adventures. However! It's a lot more graphic than I had anticipated! Not intended for children, mothers, or anyone that is easily offended by profanity and/or frequent and politically incorrect references to anatomy.
I want to clarfiy this as well: I have been referring to each snippet as chapters, implying that they must be read in order. This is not the case. You can read any of them in any order. I am mainly referring to them as chapters because some of the titles are rather inappropriate...but I've decided to just share the list with you (because we're all adults here), and if you don't like them, this is not the book for you!

IHTSBIH, Chapters 5 through 10

I'm not going to give you a summary of each of these chapters, but I'll try to hit the highlights/warn you:

Chapter 5: Potentially very offensive...(that applies to the whole book, but especially to Chapter 5)
Chapter 6: A lesson in business, actually. Still the raunchy comedy that Tucker Max promised, but this story takes place at a work function, when Max was a summer associate at a law firm called Fenwick & West, between his second and third years of law school at Duke.
Chapter 7: Pornographic.
Chapter 8: A prime example of  Tucker Max story. A Tucker Max story includes one of, usually most of, if not all of the following elements: women, alcohol, bad decisions, incredible luck, odd circumstances, more women, and more alcohol.
Chapter 9: Definitely emphasized the fact that this book should not be handed to anyone under the age of... at least 17, and that's pushing it, because I'm only 18, and naturally I think I'm mature and shpould be allowed to read such inappropriate literature.
Chapter 10: Pretty funny! A play-by-play style of narration, for example:

11:00pm: We are eating Mexican food and drinking beer. GoldenBoy regales us with wistful tales of  Foxfield. He describes a weekend of virtually unlimited alcohol, raucous drinking, food spreads to rival great medieval halls, and girls in sundresses with negotiable morals.

11:15: Hate and I ask him why we aren't going. He doesn't have a satisfactory answer. We demand to leave immediately. He balks. We call him out. Doubt his manhood. Inquire as to his sexual preference and conjecture that he is of bastard French origin.

ETCETERA.

IHTSBIH, Chapters 3 and 4

This is getting entertaining. 

Chapter 3 (I will not reveal the name), is not the most... appropriate excerpt to share, for say, reading aloud. However, for the average college student, reading this on your own will guarantee some laughter, among other reactions which I cannot describe without giving away the subject of this chapter. I understand how very vague that description must have been for you, and I can only hope it will encourage you to read the book!

Chapter 4, entitled "Everyone Has "That" Friend," is HILARIOUS. I found myself laughing out loud several times, sitting all by my lonesome in my room. Tucker has some notably clever friends, and their role in his adventures makes the story funny and colorful. Perhaps Tucker is a good story-teller, or his friends are giving him REALLY good material to work with, which he is simply recounting. Either way, 

the chapter is beyond funny.

I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell

9.8.2010:
Just started... so far finding it hilarious. I'm just hoping I can find the energy to engage in free reading time (instead of nap time). From what I've read, I've gathered the following: 

• Tucker Max thinks he's pretty cool.

• Tucker Max is, in fact, pretty cool. 

Lucky for me, we've got some free time today...I'm currently on the second chapter of I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell, which I may start abbreviating to just IHTSBIH (for future reference). Chapter two is entitled "The Night We Almost Died," and includes such characters as Hate, El Bingeroso, Motorbike Mike, Brownhole, Goldenboy, and Thomas. As Tucker states before chapter one, "My real name is Tucker Max. Unless a full name is used, all other names are pseudonyms." This didn't surprise me, until I started reading this chapter and found myself having trouble remembering all the characters with their odd names, and I ended up creating outrageous pictures of these people in my head to make it easier (Goldenboy resembles Jonny Quest, and Thomas looks like an acquaintance of mine (whose name is not actually Thomas)). While it is an entertaining story so far, I'm already finding things about Max's writing style that I find annoying.  For example, in this chapter ("The Night We Almost Died," in case you forgot), Tucker Max and his buddies are in a "redneck" bar (complete with a wrestling ring in the middle, and a mechanical bull), his friends are belligerently drunk, and picking fights with other patrons. Chaos ensues. Tucker is sober, and documenting the night's events. He says things like, 

"I run over to the ring, where the bouncers had pulled [Hate] off the ring, and were trying to calm him down. He did not respond to them agreeably.

At this point, dealing with Hate was like taking a leashed pit bull to the Westminster Dog Show. I assist the bouncers with moving Hate away from the ring..."

So, my trouble with his method of story telling is his choice of words, I guess. We (the readers) KNOW it's a chaotic mess in this bar. Tucker knows it, too. However, he uses proper language such as, "[Hate] did not respond agreeably." Sure, it's ironic that he's using such calm language in such context, but I found it obnoxious rather than clever. Problem is, I'm not done with the chapter yet, so I have to deal with this a little while longer (maybe a lot while longer, depending on whether or not Tucker Max has written the whole book this way). Hopefully the storyline will make up for the silly diction.
