Ms. Terry: Tucker Max is a brilliant 30 something year old male who abandoned a future as a prominent lawyer to pursue his true passion... women.
You know those crazy hook up stories you hear, where you think to yourself, “that's gotta be an exaggeration, no guy would ever possibly say that!” Those, my friends, are the ridiculous tales of Tucker Max.

I first learned about the man while in law school myself, and found his tales an excellent way to kill the two hours of my contracts class (OK fine, every class). Tucker's tales not only filled the boredom void, but also are a great ego booster.
Any time I'm feeling down after a bad date or heinous male interaction, I simply read a Tucker story and instantly feel better. Whatever I was going through is nothing compared to what women experience in his stories!!
Tucker is a bona fide asshole to woman, and makes no effort to disguise that fact. Hence the ever-appropriate title for his first novel, “I hope they serve beer in hell.” (Which just became a movie and opened last week!!! Woo hoo!)
Naturally his movie has generated a lot of buzz and not all of it's positive. There are many many people out there who really despise Tucker. We’re talking protests, rallying for his advertisements to be banned, even people making horridly untrue comments (I am not going there now, maybe next week).
I don’t get why these people hate Tucker so much. Unlike many single (horny) men, Tucker does not hide or mask his true intentions. He doesn't want a relationship, a date or a phone buddy; he just wants orgasms and has no problem being brutally upfront about that fact.

Though I may not agree with all of Tucker's actions, you have to support his honesty. I mean, how many of you guys have told a girl you would call her, could see a future with her, or that you wanted a relationship... when all you really wanted was to have sex with her?
This may not seem like a big deal to men but it sucks for us gals! Let's be clear, not wanting a commitment and only wanting sex does NOT make for an asshole. But if you throw in lying and deception then you're crossing the line.
Try the honesty route next time. It can lead to success, just ask Tucker!
I will definitely read this book!
