(Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) - The Heart of the Matter
(Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) - The Heart of the Matter

Review:Graham Greene does something in The Heart of the Matter which is extremely difficult to do: he depicts the inner turmoil and emotional breakdown of a human being in a non-pretentious, non-self-conscious, completely BELIEVABLE way.

So many other allegedly great authors have tried to do the same thing, with very few successes. Most often you get turgid "prose" which reeks of pseudo-intellectual showboating, turning the character in question from a flesh-and-blood entity into a cipher, which... Read more

How Not to Become a Crotchety Old Man
How Not to Become a Crotchety Old Man

Review:Do Not Buy. Returning this ASAP. Didn't realize it was small when I bought it, but that wasn't a big deal. Bought it as a gag gift for my friend for his birthday and expected funny things like "Don't wear a speedo" "Like cordless drills as gifts - and no one knows why" which the book includes, but the majority are woman-hating, racists "anecdotes" (think all immigrants should be shipped back to where they came from; think women were born to clean - like their mothers; wish women would just shut ...

And Some Other Things I Haven't Told You - Yes - My Accent Is Real

Review:I bought this book to learn more about this talented actor, and was hoping his writing would be as clever as his acting. It is. This was a fun read. I
think he should write more. He reminds me of Dave Barry, who is my all-time favorite humor writer. Read more

Assholes Finish First
Assholes Finish First

Review:Seriously though, if you're looking for an entertaining read, Tucker Max provides that and more. You'll have to take his word that his fact is stranger than fiction, but I am personally of the opinion that no one could make this crazy nonsense up... Read more

Sloppy Seconds
Sloppy Seconds

Review:After his first three books, Tucker found himself with about 1/3 of a book of second-rate, leftover stories. What to do?

He could've gone out and had some more drunken sloppy cheap lewd adventures and made fresh stories from them. But he's getting a little old for that. Plus, there's a risk that there's only so many ways to live those adventures and tell about it.

Instead, he bulked up the material by reprinting stories from the first three books. And then he cut the price all the ... Read more

Hilarity Ensues
Hilarity Ensues

Review:Tucker definitely got older and mature mature in his writing. You can tell he has moved on from his old crazy ways. However, these stories are still hilarious and funny to read. This completes all his books for me and I am gonna miss the laughter. Read more

Review:My friend loves Archer, so naturally this was her birthday gift. She opened the package, sat on the couch and spent the rest of the evening reading through this book in her drunken state.

The Fortress of Solitude
The Fortress of Solitude

Review:Fortress of Solitude is about a white kid named Dylan growing up in black Brooklyn. It's so jam packed with minutia, pointless little details and childhood events, and jumps around so much during the first half that it's a confusing and frustrating read.

Halfway through this 500+ page monster Dylan starts narrating his own story. He's grown up, moved away, obsessed with music, and tries to find his childhood friend Marcus. As he goes back to Brooklyn the first half of the book makes it ea... Read more
