Summary: Don't Let the Author Fool You!
Review: Wrestler. After hearing this word, what comes to mind? Bodyslams, fake moves, swearing, etc. Please folks, don't let the author,Mick Foley, fool you. When you hear that a wrestler has just writtena book you automatically think "Big deal" unless you watchwrestling. But believe me, this book is written way better then whatyou thought.

Though Foley is a professional wrestler, he wrote adarn good book. It's very long but very informational. It'sbasically an autobiography which humor throughout. The book goesthrough the life of Mick Foley and tells you all the pain and all thesuffering it took a man like Mick to make it to the WWF.

The booktells you about the different organizations he had to go through, ittold you how he got his connections to the WWF, and it even told mewho his first girlfriend was!

Honestly people, this wrestlerdeserves a big round of applause for writing such an awesome book.Sure, he swears pretty many times in it. But hey, he does this inreality so why not put it in their so you know more about his image.I loved this book and I will again be reading it shortly.

This bookhas everything, everything a reader would want, of course. Mick haspacked his whole life into a page-turner that i could not seem to putdown and people I have talked to did the same. Once you start, youcan't stop reading.

I will say it for the last time. This book, byMick Foley, is a definite must read for wrestling fans ornon-wrestling fans. It really doesn't matter what your stature isbecause you will definitely love this book and will want to read more.Please pick it up and read it, I guarantee you will like it.

Thankyou very much for reading my review.

Summary: Excellent
Review: Upon completion of this book for the 4th time, I concluded this book is excellent. It's funny, but more importantly (for me)it gives me a look at his matches and the world of wrestling in general. Mick Foley rules!!!

Rating: 4 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST BOOK
Review: THIS BOOK WAS AN AMAZING BOOK. IT TELLS THE TRUTH BEHIND MICK FOLEY'S LEGACY. HE TALKS ABOUT EVERYTHING FROM HIS CHILDHOOD ALL THE WAY UP TO HELL IN THE CELL. HE RELIVES HIS BEST AND WORST MOMENTS IN A DRAMATIC TALE.

Rating: 5 stars
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!

Rating: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
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.
