Summary: AWESOME! Extremely Hilarious and informative Stories
Review: This book, the first of Mick Foley's, was great. It talked about his childhood, his early wrestling career in Japan, the brutal bloodbaths he had, his family life, and his WWF career. There are so many in-depth stories, especially about his brutal matches in Japan with legends like Funk, Abdullah, Vader, Kanemura, and all of those guys. Features in-depth stories on some of the most famous incidents ever, including the legendary bloodbath at the IWA King of the Deathmatch 1995, the hardcore Hell in the Cell '98 match that would go down as legendary, the famous incident at ringside of an ECW event where Cactus accidentily tossed a burning towel onto Terry Funk, all of his childhood stories, backyard wrestling, Owen Hart's tragic death (R.I.P.), and Foley's first WWF Title win. Foley goes in-depth about all of this, providing extremely interesting and informative insight on his legendary career. There were tons of hilarious stories. I reccomend it

Summary: For the hardcore Foley fans, hear him tell the story
Review: I'm a Foley fan and wanted to get this version of the original book also with my hardcover and paper back versions. It is 3 cd"s of a little more than an hour each that Foley read himself. He also does impression of other people in the wrestling business along the way. It has all the greatest parts from the book so it is an edited version. One of the best with the ultimate dream story coming true for one of the true people in the wrestling business.

Summary: Have a Nice Day!
Review: I confess to being a life long wrestling fan and a fan of Mick Foley. I do not, however, believe this clouds my vision of his first book. "Have a Nice Day" is Foley's autobiographical story of his life inside wrestling - how he sacrificed, how he survived, what he had to do to make it to the top. Throughout, he adds insight to the "backstage" world of the sports and entertainment hybrid of pro wrestling.As has been documented, Foley wrote this book by hand after rejecting what a ghostwriter did at first. As a result, it is not the smooth style of a professional - which is not entirely a bad thing. This personalizes Foley's book. Foley's book is a very good read for wrestling fans and a fairly good one for non-fans. His story telling makes it suitable for those who are not "in the know." The main criticism of the book I find is that it was a bit choppy, which can confuse some readers. This is due, of course, to his inexperience as a writer. All in all, a great rookie outing, although he misspells Bret Hart's name throughout.

Summary: Masterpiece
Review: For an inexperienced writer, this book was an excellent read for anyone, wrestling fan or not. You have to respect and give Mick Foley all the credit in the world, he wrote his entire book on notebook paper. This book takes you into Mick Foley's world of sheer desire to wrestle, the sacrifices he took, and all the blood, sweat and tears he has lost. An excellent book by a living hardcore legend, King of the Death Match, I STRONGLY recommend that you buy this book anyway you can.

Summary: A complete treat for a true fan.
Review: I have been a fan of Cactus Jack ever since I saw the photos of his matches with the late Eddie Gilbert in 1991. I paid big bucks in 1995 to get the Kawisaki Death match tapes, and followed his ECW career as well as I could being unable to access a satelite dish. So what a day it was to actually read about all these matches as told by the man who performed them. It is a pleasure to read about the life of a man who pursued his dreams, and gave so much of himself over the years for his family. Foley IS good!
