Have A Nice Day : A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks

Rating:
Summary: Great for Fans, So-So for Others
Review: Very entertaining, and highly recommended, for fans of any or all of the professional wrestling federations. It is a "must read" among wrestlers themselves. This is not really the book, though, for those new to the "sport" who want to learn a lot about it; it is written largely for the "in-crowd" and assumes a knowledge of the people and situations discussed.

Summary: Hardcore Legend: Mick Foley
Review: This is one of the best books I've ever read. Have a Nice Day!: A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks is the biography of the rugged but lovable Hardcore Legend himself, Mick Foley. In this New York Times number one selling book, Mick Foley (also known as Mankind, Dude Love, and Cactus Jack) talks about his wife Colette, his children, his life, and of course, his wrestling career. Mick takes you through his whole career, from Japanese Death Matches, to losing his ear, to winning the World Wrestling Federation Championship. This is an excellent book and should be read by everyone, wrestling fan or not.

Summary: One of the best books out there.
Review: This book was an unbelievable story about a wrestler's journey to become a great entertainer. It is a very interesting novel from cover to cover written by the New York Times best selling author Mick Foley himself. I was very impressed with how good a writer he is for his first book. Mick Foley is a popular wrestler known for his devastating injuries such his lose of an ear, second degree burns on his shoulder and arm, broken jaw, over 325 stitches, and many more due to his extreme devotion to wrestling and his respect for the fans. I am not much of a reader but this book I could not put down. It also talks about the other side of wrestling the stuff you can not see. This story is not just for wrestling fans either. It talks about things that even non-wrestling fans can relate with. This book explains that if you want something bad enough and you work hard enough you can achieve your goal. Many people told him that he would never amount to anything in wrestling. He set out to prove them wrong and this book says how good it feels to prove people wrong and to reach your goal.

Summary: Blood, Sweat, and a Helluva Great Book!
Review: Mankind's book is a blessing to all us devoted wrestling fans out there! It is a special blend of behind the scenes information, autobiographical drama, humor, realism, fantasy, and everything else in between! It answers questions many wrestling fans have been wondering about for the last few decades, gets into the head of Mick Foley, the author, while he was going through the hellish matches that have made the sport so popular and yet so controversial. It is a refreshing read and amazingly well written despite what critics may say, espcially for first-time autor Foley. Go get 'em Mick!

Rating:
Summary: It was worth the 13 dollars
Review: After reading this book it did increase my understanding of where ManKind was comming from but it did little to satisfy my curiousity in WWF character personalities. At times the book seems jumbled and hard to understand, he relies on the reader already knowing the names of wrestling moves and terminology. The last two chapters seem to be thrown into the book just to provide a finish that gives closure. It seems that 85-90% of the book is about Mankind and EWF and WCW and the rest about WWF. I was hoping for more WWF. It was fun to read and well worth the 13 dollars
