First of all, I'd like to thank my buddy D.J. for submitting this book for review. Let's hope Sabrina either: a) doesn't know you read this, or b) thinks you were appalled by its content. Best of luck with that....
Beer in Hell is a conundrum for the average guy. It is very funny, but in a very bad way. If you've ever laughed when you saw a guy trip in a parking lot, only to later find out he was mentally handicapped, you'll understand what I mean. If you've ever tripped a mentally handicapped guy in a parking lot for your own amusement, well then, this is the greatest book you'll ever read.
Our boy Tucker is many things. He is a fantastic story teller. He is outgoing and has many friends. He does well with the opposite sex. Most of all, though, Tucker is a dick. This is the point where I would usually preach being non-judgemental and say that it doesn't make him a bad person. But in this case, it does. Now don't get me wrong, even with all that being said, this is a fantastic read. It brings a lot to the table. It is very funny, raunchy as hell, and let's you feel better about yourself all at the same time. Seriously, Charlie Sheen could read this and say, "Wow, that guy needs to treat women better".
I equate this book with cocaine. Is it fun? Yes. Does it make you a worse person in the long run? Yes. Does the money you spent on this book support a bad cause? Yes. My suggestion? Check it out from the library under an assumed name, put a book cover on it so your girlfriend and/or wife won't know what you are reading, and enjoy. Now I'm off to take a shower. I suddenly feel very dirty....
