The follow up to the ground breaking first book has everything the first one did with extras. Once again it is a lot of mini stories of his drunken misadventures, but a majority of the book are stories of post stardom. After being a best seller and having a movie made based on it the first book brought him to fame, and with his fame comes a lot of partying and embarrassment. If anything it has made his job of sleeping with women easier now that he is famous, but a lot of the stories also exploit how he has abused his fame and it has changed him. I have however seen some growth in Tucker as a human though, there is one story that involved driving an RV drunk through Harlem that he says is the craziest he will ever get and he will not doing anything like that again. To me this might seem like he is slowing down, but i wouldn’t hold my breath on it. Overall i think this book is very very funny, but i do not think that it is better than the first one. And his title does carry some truth, because he is an a-hole and he is very rich.

This book is a compilation of the drunken shenanigans of a graduate student, Tucker Max. He outlines his situations in chapters, each one absurd and disgusting but extremely funny. Each story usually starts out with him drinking with his friends and usually ends in a few different ways, he ends up offending many people, he ends up sleeping with one or more females, he ends up puking or defecating on himself or others or all of those things happen in the same story. Beside the ridiculous immature behavior he does try to infuse higher language, and occasionally points out his own faults. But besides that he pretty much wrote this book to establish that he is better and cooler than everyone on the planet. Max’s writing establishes that he believes he is better than everyone and he isn’t afraid to tell you. In one story he is so drunk that he believes he is dancing with an extremely attractive female that he believes is the perfect woman, but it turns out he was dancing in front of a mirror and he fell in love with himself. This is evidence enough that he truly does believe he is the best person on the planet.
