Overview

Tucker Max’s third and final book in his series of stories about his drunken debauchery and ridiculous antics. What began as a simple sentence on an obscure website, “My name is Tucker Max, and I am an asshole,” and developed into two infamously genre-defining books, I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell and Assholes Finish First, ends here.

But as you should expect from Tucker by now, he is going out with a bang—literally and figuratively. In this book, you’ll learn:

* How to live and work in Cancun, while still enrolled in Law School,

* Why Halloween is really awesome,

* How to subtly torture a highstrung roommate until he explodes with furious anger over a misplaced condiment,

* What really happened when a dirty pageant girl tried to sue Tucker because he told the truth,

* Why you should never accept a homemade treat from a hippie with a van, and

* What happens when Tucker turns sexting into a sport.

He’s still Tucker Max, and—for one more book—he’s still an asshole.

Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Tucker Max delivers thirty 100% true, 100% exclusive stories.

Hilarity Ensues will include some of my personal favorite stories:

· "The Cancun Story," about what that happened when I lived in Mexico during my second semester of law school, and how exactly I pulled such a feat off.

· "Meet My Friend Hate," where I delve into the life of the angriest man I know, my old law school roommate Hate, and outline everything Credit and I used to do to get him to erupt in anger.

· The story of how Iron Chef Morimoto got me kicked out of my own charity event.

· A collection of stories about the ridiculous shit that happened at the bachelor parties and weddings of all my law school friends.

· Each of my books so far has had an anchor story; IHTSBIH had "The Austin Road Trip Story," and AFF had "The TuckerFest Story." Hilarity Ensues will be anchored by one of the most incredible stories I've ever lived, a story that quite literally made US legal history: "The Miss Vermont Story." The very first iteration of that story is on my website, and because of that, you may think you know that story...but you don't. The version in Hilarity Ensues will be fully revised and updated, complete with artwork, legal briefs, and so many things not in the original story. There is SO MUCH more that hasn't been seen, and it's good.

· It will also have the follow-up to the last story in this book, called "The Ex-Girlfriend Threesome Fallout." That last story is not over. I left the aftermath of the story out of this book on purpose; primarily because I really wanted to end the book on the perfect quote by my buddy GeneralsDaughter, but also because...well, you'll have to read my next book to find out why. I'll give you a hint:

Assholes do finish first...but everything comes with a price.

Kirkus Reviews

Expensively educated child-of-privilege-turned-professional-asshole Max (Assholes Finish First, 2011, etc.) ends his "fratire" series with another memoir full of binge drinking, upchucking and general unhinged misanthropy. Here the author cuddles up next to blowhard Bill O'Reilly, crackpot psychologists, Hollywood gossips and psychotic Army snipers. There are also plenty of repetitious barhopping stories involving Max and the angry gynophobes he hangs with, all out for some good old-fashioned recreational hate sex (or often just hate, period) with clueless sorority-type chicks. The Tucker Max formula for success? He interacts with people who have the rare disability of being even more moronic than he is--and so-called hilarity ensues. Beyond the predictable mouthing off about his "awesome" life, in this latest book we also get sections featuring Max's boring "sexting" transcripts, a self-righteous diatribe against the mother of Miss Vermont (who sued him for libel), some routine white-trash strip-club experiences and a proud recollection of the time he beat up a frail European guy. There's also a fond remembrance of his homosocial maritime bromance with one of the macho crab fisherman of Deadliest Catch fame: Although he vomited from seasickness during much of his Alaskan fishing expedition, he seemed to be much more at ease with the rough boys on the Time Bandit than with the unfortunate females he hits on in yuppie bars. We also learn some further startling new information about the author--he likes Southern rap and hates the French! Although there's no telling how much honesty there is behind any of Max's chauvinist bluster, undoubtedly the most believable statement in the book comes in the penultimate chapter, where he reveals the fact that he has no girlfriend or wife. Shocking. The 18-year-old fraternity pledge's guide to life.
