Summary: What Mick did for wrestling
Review: Have a Nice Day is one of those "I couldn't put it down" books. When I received the book, I kept taking peeks at it while at work. Then, for the whole weekend I was reading huge sections at a time. The conversational style of the book makes it a very fast read. While I admire Mick's "testicular fortitude" I must also say that some of his decisions in the ring are pretty foolish and just too dangerous to do for a "$300 payoff" (the death matches in Japan in particular). Are the permanent scars and injuries really worth $100?

Summary: A personal recollection of Mick Foley's journey to success
Review: From gruesome barb wire exploding bomb matches to the horrific "Hell in a Cell" encounter, the man they call Mick Foley has done it all in his quest to reach the top of the sports-entertainment regime. This personal tale of a man's life (told by the man himself) will provide an inside look of an average Long Island, NY native's life growing up and becoming the man known all around the world as Cactus Jack, Mankind, and Dude Love.This 500+ page book (700+ in paperback form with added extra chapters) reveal Foley's struggles to be accepted during his childhood, his close relationship with his parents, the pain and suffering he endured in his many years in the pro wrestling industry (including the loss of one of his close friends, Owen Hart), and much more. Anyone who believes the sports-entertainment product is "fake" should definately take this well-written piece of spectacular writing as a considerable reading product... as you will think otherwise of the stereotype imposed on this "non-sport" after you finish the book. Everything the former 3-time WWF Champion says is real. Fans and non-wrestling fans around the world are advised to take a look.

Summary: Best Wrestling Book Ever
Review: This is the Best Wrestling Book ever. If you really want to know about Mick Foley, and his alter egos: Mankind, Cactus Jack, and Dude Love, then this is the book for you. The Paperback has an extra chapter, but 4 lines were deleted at the end of the last chapter before the bonus chapter. This is a 5 star book.

Summary: The Hardcore Legend writes a hard-hitting book!
Review: This book is incredible. Filled with behind-the-scene stories, photos, and advice, "Have a Nice Day!" is an incredible book. Mick Foley; aka Mankind, aka Dude Love, aka Cactus Jack; is an incredible wrestler, and the book; though not stylistically the best; absorbs the reader and draws them into the world of pro wrestling. If you like wrestling, you'll love this book!

Summary: Foley conquers the autobiography
Review: From the very first chapter--a story of a match where he lost two-thirds of his right ear--to the very last chapter--telling of winning the WWF world title--Have A Nice Day! is truly hard to put down. It chronicles the life on Mick Foley, from his high school days in East Setuaket, New York, to becoming one of the top stars in the wrestling business, and all the adventures in between. After reading this, you'll marvel at how someone can risk his body so often for a career that offers very little in return. This should definitely be read by anyone with the time, wretling and non-wretling fans alike.

Summary: better than I'd dared hope
Review: OK, so maybe Mick and I share a lot of things. A flair for juvenile poetry, flights of fancy (many of which involve Kay Parker), and a love of the...beast that is professional wrestling. A packrat for facts, Mick shares it all with us fans. You could not ask for a warmer invitation into an author's mind. I can't wait to read the paperback, with additional chapters! Mick shows us all that wrestlers can be talented, witty, funny, tragic figures, that they are as many-dimensioned as everyone else. A great read for adults and mature teens.

Summary: Good Audio Book, But Not as Good as the Real Thing
Review: The first thing I said after reading this book last fall in hardcover is that is that they've got to put out an audio version, and Mick Foley has to read it. After all, the book has a lot of humor in it by the way the story's told, and Foley himself is a pretty funny-sounding guy as well, so it should be a sure-fire hit, right? Well, it's here, and although they had to condense 500 pages into three-and-a-half hours, it's retained most of the humor and depth of the actual book. I have to say that Foley's narration has its moments, but not that enough of them. Foley doesn't really hit his stride until about a half-hour in when he gets into his training from Dominic Denucci and gets a few impressions in. His impersonation of Vince McMahon is almost uncanny. He also does most of the swerve bits in the book (like the one where he claimed he hugged Eric Bischoff on his way out of WCW), and those are definitely funny. But, unfortunately, most of the narration is Foley just reading out of the book, which is cool since they're his own words, but isn't quite what I was expecting. I think some better direction could have helped here. Most of the book is covered in this recording. The only things that are spare in their discussion are his parents, his courtship of Collette, his last days in WCW, and Owen Hart. In fact, Owen wasn't even mentioned at all in this version, which is strange because Foley dedicated about 10 pages to him in the book. I was also hoping for some of the extra chapters that will be in the paperback version to be released next month. Still, it was an easy purchase, it's fun to listen to if you're going on a long drive somewhere, and it might be something cool to play to anybody you know that pooh-poohs wrestling.
