I was expectting more. Maybe I got old since the last book? I don't know, I had an extra year for the anticipation to build for the sequel, since TUCKER was too busy putting together that "POS" movie. The first book was completely believeable, this one? Come on, it's over the top. It's like a guy who is not cool telling stories as if he was. Take the "gimp" for instance, put pictures in your book? I question if there is any validity to "either" book after reading this $#!^.

I'd say I'm pretty disappointed as by comparison to IHTSBIH, which had me laughing out loud on a 4 hour flight and was quite possibly the best humorous read I'd ever had. I had tears rolling down my face and could hardly talk to my husband reading passages to him inflight from IHTSBIH. This follow up, was a disappointment by comparison. I hardly broke a chuckle and I really expected much more. This was despite having read the first chapter free via my kindle. I guess I hoped it would get better and funnier and never really did.

If you like "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell," you will like this. His writing is a lot smoother and the stories are a lot more polished. In his first book, it was truly a collection of emails. This time around, you can see the editing and the stories are actually a lot easier to visualize.
I found the book very funny, though it does not stray too far from his first book. If you have not read Tucker Max (and you have an idea of what he writes about), I highly recommend this. If you read his first book and enjoyed it, this is a must read as well. I do recommend you get a taste of his content or you will really be shocked when you read this.
This is very similar to Beer in Hell, but the stories are different (but along the same goals). I laughed really hard at parts of this, but rate it 4 stars because it just doesn't build much on his previous efforts. I imagine he will start writing political stuff next, which should be very funny to read.

I stumbled onto TM's first book at an airport, stood there reading and laughing and then bought it and read it cover to cover on vacation at the pool, chuckling out loud throughout. IHTSBIH was hilarious, and there's no doubt Tucker is a great writer. The stories, whether they're really as 'true' as he insisted they are, were funny regardless, especially combined with his articulate use of wit ("Hilarity does not ensue"). Assholes Finish First has more of the same themes (but of course, right?) yet somehow did not read as witty or laugh out loud funny this time around. And thinking about it, I'm not really sure why that is. Perhaps it seemed like he was a natural asshole in the first book, and this time it read more 'forced'? I don't know, I really wanted to laugh my ass off but found myself skipping over a lot of it instead. The best part of the book for me was his Post-Fame section; it's interesting to see what happens to anyone who reaches a level of fame, let alone an asshole like TM. But look - who am I kidding, if you're 23 yrs old and you liked the first book, you'll probably like this one too. But to me, this felt like going out and getting the new Maroon 5 album: I've heard it all before, and in this case, I laughed harder before...

Wasn't a fan of the other book as much as I am of this one. Anyone can fall into some stories during college, but it takes a true genius to do some of this stuff 15 years later! Never read a book like this and it SO lightens my day!
