New York Times’ best seller in 2006, also released as a movie in 2009, “I hope they serve beer in Hell” has been rated as a “highly entertaining and thoroughly reprehensible” book by its publisher. I must agree with this short description. The book can be highly entertaining, especially for teenage male readers. Conceived as a sex journal, the book has nothing to do with literature. Even for the worst literary eye, it is obvious that Tucker Max, the one who had the nerve to put together this book and not only, has no talent in writing. However, one would say that it might be excusable for someone who would even make the effort of writing it correctly. Even for people whose mother tongue isn’t English it is evident that Tucker Max has no knowledge of grammar or correct expression in his own language. Misogynist, alcoholic, with no respect for life, friends or women, this character has no profoundness whatsoever, appearing as a person lacking any principles or personality. The director of the movie with the same name, Bob Gosse, tries and evidently fails to get a quality comedy out of this book, even by changing the order of events, by adding an intrigue to the story and giving it a introduction and resolution, which you will not succeed finding in the book, collection of random stories supposedly erotic. In conclusion, I will label this book as a mistake.
