Summary: A Must Read For Any Wrestling Fan
Review: This is by far the best wrestling book I have read. Mike Foley talks about how he had a dream to wrestle since he was in high school. This book tells how Foley had to struggle working gym matches for $25 a night right up to his championship days in the wwf. This is a great read if you remember the early days of Cactus Jack, because as you're reading it brings back those memories of watching him on t.v. Whether you're a Cactus Jack, Mankind, Dude Love or Mick Foley fan you wont be able to put this book down.

Summary: Foley is my hero --
Review: -- no lie. This book is an inspiration. From everything I've read, Foley is one of the most genuine and kindest people walking this earth. But he was a terror in the wrestling ring, mostly to himself. The injuries discribed in this book are gruesome, but Foley persisted despite having most of his body broken or burned or cut off. When he was finally retired from wrestling, I bawled like a baby, and so did all of the other guys sitting around watching the pay-per-view. Detractors of professional wrestling fail to see the human drama and emotion conveyed by performers, and no one wrestled with more heart and emotion than Mick Foley. This book captures the many sides of Foley, and is whole-heartedly recommended to wrestling and non-wrestling fans alike, so that all can understand the motivation behind the man and the business he loved.

Summary: Have A Nice Day: A Tale Of Blood And Sweatsocks
Review: What can I say about this awe-inspring New York Times no.1 best-selling debut from wrestler Mick Foley. Unlike many auto-biographers, Foley teaches a lesson in humility and selflessness. His uphill struggle to reach the goals he was told were unreachable is truly inspirational. One of the most wonderful books of recent times. The writing style is fluid and intelligent, his description vivid and oft humorous. Everyone should own a copy.

Summary: Great book for fans and non fans alike
Review: Even if you are not a fan, this book gives a great in depth view of one of the greatest legends to ever enter the wrestling ring. Starting with his childhood, this book explores how Mic Foley entered the world of wrestling and it gives his thoughts and feelings on some of his defining moments, such as his "Hell is a Cell" match vs. the Undertaker, which is believed by many to be the greatest match ever. Foley also speaks of other classic matches like the exploding landmine match he was in. Even if you are not a big fan, you will enjoy reading about the pain and sacrifice Mic Foley gave to make it big in the business. If you are a wrestling fan, you will love this book.

Summary: I've read it over and over again and it never gets boring...
Review: I cannot thank Mr. Foley enough for giving the world this piece of literature. I bought a couple weeks after it came out, and I just keep reading and reading it. If I was on a desert island, and I had this book, I'd be happy. The only problem with this book is that because it became so popular, now other wrestlers that we really don't care about and who aren't nearly as interesting as Mick Foley are writing autobiographies. I mean, who wants to have the DDP autobiography on their conscience? I sure don't. But despite that, Mick Foley, thank you very much. You've done the world a favor.

Summary: it's a quick and interesting read. wrestling fan or not
Review: i read this book in a week and thats something i've never done before. so that should speak volumes for how good i thought this book was. it was also very inspiring. who thought mick foley actually was a smart man who went to college and that he never gave up on his dreams despite lacking many of the abilities needed to make it big. great book

Summary: A well deserved five stars
Review: Yep, he did it. I didnt expect anything less of great when I heard about Mick Foley publishing a book written by himself. When I sat down to read this 500 + page monster, I had no idea how much I would end up enjoying. Foley has done some incredible things in his career, and he writes about them beautifully in this book. Like I allways say, anyone who thinks there's no pain in wrestling? Make them read the back of the dust cover for this book.

This is packed with great information, stories and experinces and it was just a great experince to read it. I was perticularly amazed with how well-done the Owen Hart chapter was. The problem with the Rock's book is that virtually all the second half of it was in-character rant. The first part of the book was great and packed with information about his history and family. But this is just page after page of flawless writing. This is one book that has *deserved* it's spot on the new york times listing.
