Rating: Summary: Best Book Ever Review: This was by far the best book I have ever read. Mick Foley made me laugh, feel compassion, and respect everything he has been through. This was a book I could not put down. He talks about his family life, the wrestling business, behind the scenes, and the relationships with each other. When I finished the book, I had genuine respect for him as a wrestler, and more importantly, a father, a husband, and a friend. This was by far the best book I have ever read, he just kept amazing me with every page.
Rating: Summary: A great story Review: I remember at the beginning of this book that Mick Foley said "I hate to bring this news to you, but most 'autobiographies' have ghostwriters that help them out. I'm proud to say that this book is written completely by me.' Okay, maybe that wasn't the exact quote. But the point is, he was right. For example, "The Rock Says" by The Rock... an autobiography, yes, but it has a ghostwriter! And, "The Rock Says" only has about 200 pages in it. Have a Nice Day has over 500! I guess the point I'm trying to make here is that this book is probably going to be one of the most true autobiographies you're going to find. Period.
Rating: Summary: Have A Nice Day Review: I have never felt the need to read until I got this book. It was simply the best book I have read yet. Mick's descriptive details and his humerous past make it a hard book to put down. I highly reccomend this book to a wrestling fan as well as person doesn't even watch the sport.
Rating: Summary: Mick Foley proves wrestlers can, in fact write. Well. Review: First, I have to admit, I am a bit biased. I a)Love wrestling and b)Think Mick Foley is one of the most entertaining people alive, so pretty obviously, I loved this book. First, to be perfectly honest, if you despise wrestling, odds are this wont be your cup of tea, but personally, I found that the best parts of this book are when he isnt wrestling, such has his childhood and his family. The only flaws I can find in this book, are the Al Snow jokes (If you dont know, Al Snow is a friend of Mick, and a fellow wrestler) and the ending...simply put, I wanted him to go on even further, and that, Im sure, Is a sign of a good book.
Rating: Summary: I had a nice nine days! Review: Mick foley made me understand what it is to be a pro wrestler! A 'fake' sport it is definately not! Written with wit, pace and excitment, Mankind truly is a wreslting great! I read it in nine days and now intend to jump off my roof!
Rating: Summary: The Best Book Anyone Can Read Review: When I first picked up the book, i figured it would be one of those books you read, and forget about ten minutes later, but that was not the case. It is one of the best books i have read of late. It recounts the life and a profession of one of the best wrestlers in the WWF. It should be read by everyone.
Rating: Summary: Greatest wrestling book Of All time Review: Actually, It's not ALLwrestling, it's Mick Foley's Life. From sneaking out of college to see his hero, Jimmy Superfly Snuka, to Cactus Jack, to Dominic Dennuci's school, to meeting Collette, to going to the WWF, I could NOT put the book down.It had HIS opinions and his comments, and they weren't "fixed up" by some guy like the Rock's book, not saying it is bad. I really did crack up, some of the comments were just so funny. One really neat thing are the pictures, some never before seen. I don't work for the promoting crew of Mick Foley, just so you know. As JR says in the introduction, "This book will make you laugh, make you cry, make you wonder just how he lost his ear, but most of all, it'll make you relize just who Mick Foley is". All of those things happened to me, not to mention all the Al Snow jokes.Let me warn you, it does have some questionable terms and language, so don't let kids seven and under read it.
Rating: Summary: Pure Goodness Review: This is the autobiography of the Hardcore Legend, Mick Foley. Some wrestling fans claim that "Foley is God." If you are a wrestling fan and don't read this, you are only hurting yourself and are truly not a fan. If you don't like wrestling or think it's stupid, read this book and find out it's a life time buisness. You will have more respect for it after.This is a look into the Hardcore legend Mick Foley's mind, his history, his passions, and what some might call his pathology. Mick is a great guy and deserves every bit of respect he recives! "Foley is truly GOD!"
Rating: Summary: Mrs. Foley's baby boy hit a homerun! Review: This book is the greatest. It's full of raw emotion and shows the dark side of wrestling. Mankind tells about his rise up the ladder to the big time and the sacrifices he had to make to do it. This book is just the right mixture of humor, action and true emotion. Once I picked this masterpiece up, I couldn't put it down.
Rating: Summary: Mankind's life as a wrestler Review: This is the best book i have ever read. It is easy to understand and he touches on isssues other authors don't.
