Summary: Just as good as the first! If not better!
Review: This book is great but not as in the same way as "Have a Nice Day". "Foley is Good" takes a more humorous approach and includes less blood and guts. I really enjoyed this book more because it talked about the controversial wrestling documentary "Beyond the Mat" and the disturbing footage shown and how Mick felt about the Rumble '99 skull-crushing he took part in.Non-wrestling fans will like this one more because Foley talks about other topics besides wrestling, such as drug abuse, talk shows, and more that will keep you wanting more.

Summary: Foley strikes again!
Review: Mick Foley, one of hardcore wrestling's few living legends, returns as one of its few legitimate authors. Foley is Good picks up where "Have A Nice Day!" ended, with the waning days of Foley's career, and some of his best matches against the likes of Triple H and the Rock, among others. His writing style remains the same, stream of conscience, humorous, and rather sloppy style we saw in his first tome. Unlike the first, we see a little more of Foley himself, including his views on the world, stronger opinions, and more of his family, which he clearly adores. Foley's intelligence shines through as well, as someone willing to research and confront an issue, but this is "Foley is Good"'s undoing. He attempts to be both serious and humorous in his screed against Brent Bozell and the PTC, and his case suffers, especially when he himself admits he doesn't always approve of his industry's actions. Still, it's a great read, and a must for any Foley fan!

Summary: He's made impossible possible...Again
Review: I finished Foley's first book, "Have a Nice Day" in record time. In fact, I remember the night I bought it, I stayed awake until 3:00am, having read the entire book from cover to cover. As a life-long wrestling fan, I am amazed at Mick Foley's ability to remember (in great detail) the moments in his life that are now forever etched in the pages of a literary masterpiece. "Foley is Good"...if possible...is twice as good as Mick's first #1 New York Times Bestseller. As I write this, I'm only on page 366. That won't deter my five star rating. The rest of this book could [stink] and I wouldn't be disappointed. I have laughed hard enough to almost suck a candy cane up my nose, and cried through pages 166-176, which honor the life and legacy of Owen Hart. I have relived an entire WWF Pay-Per-View from September 1996, and a match between Foley and Shawn Michaels that almost tore the roof from Philadelphia's First Union Center. (Mick remembers this contest as the Greatest Match of his career, and from the nosebleed section of the arena, I wholeheartedly agreed. It was my first time attending a PPV, and certainly a night I will never forget) It is also clear in this book that Foley is a phenomenal human being...a man who loves life and loved his career...but prides himself on being a loving husband and father. His total honesty is admirable, and it is with this approach that Mick tackles controversial topics like drug use in pro wrestling. The sincerity with which Foley writes is evident in a book that you'll have a hard time putting down. The critics once said that a wrestler couldn't be a writer...and that once he became a writer, he wouldn't sell his books. Mick Foley made the impossible possible...AGAIN.

Summary: Another classic
Review: Mic's first book was great. This one is more of the same. The second book picks up where the first left off and tells the story of the end of Mic's career. It is a very good read and highly recommended. I would suggest reading the first book (Have A Nice Day) first, but it is not nessecary

Summary: Good is Foley
Review: In Mick Foley's second autobiographical best seller, he starts right where he left off in Have a Nice Day! Although some events jump around a bit, you always know how it's going to end. I can say I really enjoyed this book, albeit he uses a LOT of the same jokes from his first book. (If you have the paperback, you'll know what I mean within the first few chapters.) Some of the material, such as about Test and the Mean Street Posse, is humorous, but gets kind of stale after awhile. And even though a lot of people didn't think it was all that great, I genuinely enjoyed the last part of the book involving the Parents Television Council, because it was extremely true to the situation. I guess I feel that Foley is the loud voice of all those whose voice are too small to be heard by the PTC. If you liked the first one, pick this one up. If you never read the first one, pick this up, because it will probably be funnier for you!

Summary: Foley's "other" book worth checking out
Review: As much as I enjoyed reading "Have a Nice Day" by Mick Foley, I was a little wary going into this book. I guess I thought that he wouldn't really have enough material to write more than a rehash of his first book. But, just a little ways into "Foley is Good", I realized why I enjoyed his first book so much. Foley's story telling ability is amazing and his detailed description of his last days in the WWF are worth the price of the book alone. I feel that his departure from the WWF has made a bigger dent in their product than they thought and reading this made me realize how much I really do miss seeing him on Monday nights. If you're a fan of wrestling, or just another one of the "Thousands and Thousands" of Foley's fans, then check out this book.

Summary: (Potato) Salad Days
Review: This sequel to "Have a Nice Day" cements Mick Foley's deserved reputation as the finest American memoirist since Truman, or even Grant. The two years of the author's life covered here were not as compelling as those in the above book, but are just as amusingly written. Foley's humor drips Irish deviltry, not unlike Murray Kempton. From Foley's first title win through his double knee surgery to the Rock 'n' Sock era and his two retirement matches to the commissionary position he held at the end, Mick shows us the absurdity of a life in the worked arts--and the phoniness he encounters in the so-called real world. Some of us may fault him for returning from his retirement too soon. (I do.) And some may think we could have done without a liberal screed of an afterward. Yet there is a charm here that cannot be denied--a delightful personality that leaps from most every page--so that even those who care not for his former line of work would do well to read this. Be prepared to laugh.

Summary: SOCKO!
Review: This was a really good book. Seriously, once you pick it up, you can't put it down. You just wanna keep reading and reading...It pretty much starts where Mick left off on "Have a Nice Day", plus it is funny, but a little sad when he talks about Owen...

Summary: foley is THE MAN !!
Review: this book was a wonderful fallow up to his first book. tells why he decided to write his OWN biography (his first book) and continues on with his ups and downs in his very good career with the wwf, or now known as wwe. mick foley has a very humorus side to him which he shows as much as ever in this fallow up book. has very interesting points that point to the real world really BEING faker than pro wrestling! more wonderfull stories,about life and wrestling. i guess the only down of this book could be the fact that he goes from one subject to the other. doesnt seem hard to fallow though! shouldnt let that be a reason to stop one from getting a very insightful book. highly reccomended!
