Summary: The Hardcore Legend
Review: Mick Foley's book HAVE A NICE DAY is a very good piece of writing. Foley tells an unbelieveable story that will keep you turning the pages. His accomplishments are astounding and the stories he tells of his family life are very heartwarming. This book also shows that pro wrestling is not all glitz and glamour and that its not ALL fake like some people are quick to assume.

Summary: Foley pours his heart and soul into an incredible bio
Review: I got this incredible book the day it was released thanks in part to the kind people at Amazon. I was so enthralled with Foleys words and thoughts that I pretty much shut out the world for the next few days until I was finished. Part of me wished I would have gone slower, so I could have savored every word. If you're a wrestling fan you absolutely have to read this book. Even if you're not a smart fan, you will walk away from "Have a Nice Day" knowing more about sports entertainment than ever before. Mick takes on a ride through his childhood and his early years on the independent circuit. He tells us of his sometimes tumoltuos tenure in WCW and of his monster success in the WWF. Mick Foley deserves every accolade given to him and more. Please read "Have a Nice Day", you will not regret it.

Summary: Extremely Entertaining
Review: I bought this book for a relative who is "one of those mindless wrestling fans". I began reading the book, well, basically so that I could laugh at the rednecks who are wrestling fans.Instead, I found a highly articulate, entertaining, funny, thoughtful story about a man, his profession, and his family. Mick Foley is the most likeable author in a long time and I have a new respect for him and all of his talents.

Summary: The Best There Is
Review: My husband is the big wrestling fan, and the book is his, but I dont mind wrestling and love to read, so decided to give it a try. This is one of the best books I have ever read. I flowed so nicely, I couldnt put it down. I hope Foley picks up the pen again, he is funny, witty and extremely entertaining. I found myself so into his career and family that when a recent show refered to his daughter as "Nicole" I found myself screaming at the TV...'It's Noelle! You idiots!' But this one, wrestling fan, or no wrestling fan, it will give you a new appreciation of sports entertainment and the man behind the mask.

Summary: "Superfly" Snuka, Foley's Idol, To Join Mankind As Author
Review: Mick Foley, A.K.A. Mankind, couldn't get past page 20 of his incredible life story without admitting that he idolizes the mand who many of us consider the greatest wrestler ever, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka. The enigmatic personality behind Dude Love, Cactus Jack, and Mankind verbally portrays in detail "Superfly" Snuka's incredible match in Madison Square Garden with Don Muraco in which one of wrestlings most classic moments transpired. Foley vividly explains how the Superfly climbed barefoot to the top of the 15 foot high steel cage and sacrificed his body by leaping onto the fallen "Magnificent One". Mick Foley's life was never the same after that moment and it shows in "Have A Nice Day". I'm proud to say that Foley's book has inspired a biography by his idol, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka which is tentatively being titled, "Tales From The Top Of The Cage." I will serve as co-author to the WWF hall of fame inductee. Like "Have A Nice Day", Superfly's biography will give tremendous insight into the wrestler's upbringing and childhood life as well as revealing never before discussed information on wrestlers, WWF, wrestling politics, and Snuka's famous wrestling family members like "The Rock", his son Jimmy Jr., actually this list is virtually endless. If you even remotely liked "Have A Nice Day" which if you didn't - you must have missed something, it is brilliant, you have to read the forthcoming biography by his idol, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka. Mick Foley has done a brilliant job of documenting his life story with flourishes of humor and human emotion that will touch and inspire readers of all walks of life. For my entire life I've watched professional wrestling and am now involved as a ring announcer and commentator. I was never a big Mick Foley fan, though I've always respected his ability. Now, I have been converted. "Have A Nice Day" is hard to categorize. It isn't fair to classify this as a wrestling book. It's so much more. This is the perfect read for anyone that needs some inspiration or motivation. Foley was turned down by the WWF more times then Elizabeth Taylor has husbands, yet he now holds the distinction of being a two time WWF heavyweight champion. In fact, Mick Foley may become the only individual to wear the WWF crown under two separate names. He won the WWF title as Mankind and will soon challenge for it again under the moniker he started his career under, Cactus Jack. The versatility of "Have A Nice Day" will keep you mesmerized until you finish it. one could consider it a buffet that spans an entire football field - you're certain to find more then enough to fill you up. With the enormous popularity of professional wrestling today it seems that any professional wrestler could write a book and that would sell. Even Al Snow (read "Have A Nice Day", and you'll understand that!). This book doesn't need professional wrestling's big push. "Have A Nice Day" and its' author, Mick Foley aka Dude Love aka Mankind aka Cactus Jack, stand on their own. Stop reading these reviews. Order the book.

Summary: Mick Foley Literary genuis?
Review: I am not an avid reader, heck i cant claim to read more than six or seven books a year. Thats little books! I opend this book up for christmas and i gave a little sigh because i thought i was going to throw it aside with the other books i had in my room. Then i decided to go ahead and give it a chance. I started to read and it fascinated me so much i couldnt put it down. At one time i wanted to be a pro-wrestler, and i still do but now i see i should pursue my college career and then try the wrestling biz. I thought that this book would just be about his matches but instead it tells in detail about his home life, his kids, his wife, and his past wrestling experiences. Even my friends who dont like wrestling borrowed my book and loved it after they finished it. This book is not only for the wrestling fan but for a person who likes to read. I would recommend this book to anyone. And this book raises the question is Mick Foley a literary genuis stuck in a wrestlers body? I think so and i hope he continues both careers in the future.

Summary: No Gabrone Here
Review: As a history teacher I very rarely read so-called "trash books". I figure my time is to precious to waste. On the other hand, after using my brain all day long I want to be purely entertained by something which does not involve thinking on my part. So, I have become a wrestling fan. This is not meant as a put-down to wrestling or wrestling fans nor am I implying that those who watch wrestling are somewhat less then intelligent. This book is alive. It entertained me from cover to cover. I caught myself laughing aloud more then a dozen times. Foley has captured the true essence of the wrestling world and the multitudes of persona that dominate this sport entertainment industry. I felt as though Foley was sitting in the room with me and we were discussing his life story. He is to be praised for a readable, entertaining, and realistic book. I think all of us can identify with and find a little of ourselves in Mick Foley. A BIG THUMBS UP or as CACTUS JACK might say with his fingers pointing skyward: "BANG-BANG".

Summary: Very good
Review: Mankinds book was filled with a tune of detail. But sometimes it was more then you wanted to know. However the book was very good and if you want to know what goes on behind the matt read, Mankind: Have a Nice day.
