Have A Nice Day : A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks

Summary: a most informative look at a scorned world
Review: As a Foley fan I preordered this book. As a writer I opened it with a cringe: I knew my hero's background was not literary; I've seen a lot of the kind of writing that covers professional wrestling, and I expected the worst. What I got was a personal, personable, intelligent look at a life and at an industry which makes most people crazy (not to mention intolerant). Yes, Foley's tale is a bloody one. I would still recommend this book to anyone who wants to know why someone would become a pro wrestler or enjoy pro wrestling. The writing is fresh, direct and clear, and you are on Mick Foley's side if not from the opening passages, by the time he tells you about high school. His is a story about someone who gave up everything for a dream, and received almost everything in return--at a high price. Certainly I would want any kid who wanted to enter this business to read his tale. The main flaw here is the lack of serious editing: rewrites and cuts done responsibly would have tightened things up a bit. As it is, I hope Mr. Foley continues to write, because I think he has a talent worth pursuing, and an eye for and knowledge of a world that has seen far too much carnival writing. If he lacks for ideas, I have a few suggestions: I'd like to see his takes on the life of the legendary Terry Funk, of the Japanese and ECW wrestling circuits, and even a history of wrestling as a whole. I'm proud to be a Foley fan.

Review: Often wrestlers are misunderstood, put off as phonies and fakes... This book will open the eyes of all who care to see things a little differently for a change. Surprisingly well written and despite being a little graphic, VERY pleasing for those of us who love wrestling, and even those of us who abhor it.

Summary: A very good read!
Review: I really liked this book, I found that Mick was a very good author, and the content was very good also. A must for WWF fans, and I think even non WWF fans could like it. And, its only 13 bucks!

Review: Pro Wrestler Mick Foley has giving us a very heartfelt, entertaining story. One that told of a young teen who followed his dream to become thw WWF World Heavy Weight Champion. Please readers...do not let Mick Foley's on screen persona dissuade you from reading this insightful autobiography but a new and strong author. You will be entertained by his heartfelt rise to the top. Marvel at his entertaining literary writing. Some may percieve wrestlers as musclebound, unintelligent jocks but in reality Mr. Foley is an intelligent and likable person. He offers a look behind the scenes of professional wrestling from his bloody hardcore matches in Japan to the battle in which he lost his ear and on to the now famous WWF 'Hell in the Cell' match and the championship belt. You will here about encounters with famous wrestlers such as Ric Flair, Vader, and the Undertaker. You will read about Mick's admiration for the Legendary Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka. Yet that is not all. Readers also get to know Mick Foley the family man and the boy who followed his dream at all costs. Anyone interested in Autobiographies in general should read this book. I found it not only interesting to fans of Pro-wrestling but of interest to anyone who likes an inspiring autobiography.
