Rating: Summary: Foley Puts Out A Better Book Than Expected Review: Mankind has always been one of my favorite wrestlers, and I was excited to get my hands on his autobiography... And it turned out to be a lot better than I expected. It is a pretty well-written and sometimes amusing novel covering the life of Mick Foley from his backyard wrestling adventures to his experiences in the World Wrestling Federation. Of course, if you enjoy watching the WWF and even more so like Mankind in particular, this book is definitely worth the money. I also look foward to buying the Rock's autobiography, "The Rock Says", in the near future!
Rating: Summary: Have a Nice Day: A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks Review: This book was a great read! I couldn't put it down. I was so absorbed that I actually lost track of time and my surroundings while reading this book. I felt like I was actually there beside him during every step of the way. Mick Foley has definitely lived a very interesting life. I think he should consider a writing career when he retires from wrestling. If you buy this book, you will not be disappointed.
Rating: Summary: That I would like to thank the Amazon fans Review: I am just trying to say thank you for buying my book and getting it to number 1 on the chart at Amazon! That is amazing. I would like to thank my beautiful wife and my great friends such as Scott 'shaz' and Leon as well as the books publisher. Thanks!
Rating: Summary: Foley is God Review: I truly loved reading Mick Foley, Mankind's book. I have to say it was one of my favorite books and really gave me an insight to Mick's life and the person he really is. I recommend this book to everyone. Not just wrestling fans.
Rating: Summary: The Best Book I have ever Read! Review: I Purchased this book the first day it hit the shelves and I haven't been able to stop reading it since. It is by far the best book I have ever read in my life. I am a very big fan of the WWF and a very big fan of Mick Foley. The one thing I love the most abot this book is that he doesn;t hold anything back and tells you the truth about everything. The book never got boring from the first to the last page. You will not begin to believe all the sh%^ Mick Foley has been through. To sum this up I just want to say that this a a OUTSTANDING BOOK! GOOD JOB MICK!
Rating: Summary: The best autobiography ever! Review: This is one of the best books I've ever read. If you're a wrestling fan you will love it for its behind the scenes look at the business as well as for Micks sacrifices to make the sport more enjoyable. And if you're not a wrestling fan you will love it for its brilliantly told story of a guy from Long Island. Either way its worth the read.
Rating: Summary: too indepth on wrestling matches Review: This book was ok, but I got tired of reading about his matches over and over. I guess I wanted more about the present and not step by step on every match. I guess that was the only let down!
Rating: Summary: FOLEY IS GOoD Review: THIS BOOK IS HARDCORE WE'LL NEVER FORGET YOU MANKIND (mr. socko)
Rating: Summary: A 'REAL' man's autobiography. Review: I would consider myself a smart wrestling 'mark' as the jargon goes and view wrestling as a pure form of entertainment. Now when I first heard that Mick Foley was coming out with a book, I though 'neat' in passing. What impressed me more was that he wrote it himself, long-hand, while on tour and turned it in to be typed. But let's be real, how many people 1st thought a wrestler's book may be good? Or entertaining? Or logical?Well this book is all of that and more! Mick Foley recounts his entire wrestling career from his first exposure to wrestling as a kid watching it on T.V. to finally winning the coveted WWF World Champion belt some 15+ years later. His story is laced with amazing stories, great humor (he has a wonderful sense of wit), an inside perspective on the 'sport', and both little known and well known facts of the wrestling industry. He portrays himself not as an egotistical muscle head who has an action figure, but constantly proclaims he is baffled by his success. He will be the first one to state that he bombed some nights, that he was out of shape, and many things and decisions went wrong. Then he re-counts some of his greatest matches (and not so great) in detail. What is amazing is his dedication to his fans and to the sport he really loves, and how much his body has been in jeapordy over the years. To all those that believe wrestling is not a sport and is scripted, they fail to take into account that this man has had hundreds of stiches, a broken nose, a missing ear, knocked out teeth, concusions, numerous dislocations, MRI's, X-rays, etc. Other traditional sports atheletes would have buckled much earlier and made much more money than Mick. He did this all for our entertainment! Mick Foley is also a family man. Like the late Owen Hart, you can see that Mick Foley puts his role as a father and husband at the top of his priorities. Constantly speaking of his lovely wife and his children. Lastly, with his humor and accolades to other wrestlers aside, he has one of the best closing lines in any autobiography.
