Summary: Fantastic Foley
Review: It's a good book for fans of wrestling as well as those who like commentaries on sports in general. It's nice to hear something from a person who has given his best to entertaining people for a large part of his life. Very funny at times, other times it makes you think about how facts can be manipulated. Worth buying in hardback or paperback. Can be read alone without the first book of "Have A Nice Day". Good job, Mick!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than Have A Nice Day!
Review: If you are a true wrestling fan you will like this book better than his first. It contains more information about the behind the scenes happenings in the WWF and Foley's life. You won't believe what Mick has to say about the world of professional wrestling. There are more great Al Snow jokes as well, that makes purchasing a necessity.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Book I ever read!!!

Summary: Great Book for Wrestling Fans - Not Interesting to Others
Review: "Foley is Good" is a hilarious book about a wrestler who has worked his way into the hearts of his fans. Mick Foley once again demonstrates himself to be an articulate, humorous, grounded, and a genuinely interesting person with interesting opinions on a wide variety of subjects. As a big wrestling fan, I enjoyed the behind the scenes look of what was going on through his mind during the last few months of his wrestling career, just as I enjoyed learning of "angles" that never actually had a chance to transpire. Best of all, I laughed out-loud during many points of the book. Even though I knew F.I.G. would be on the Best Seller list and sold at a discount within a week, I bought it for full price as soon as I saw it. I am glad I did. It was that good. For non-wrestling fans, however, I think this book would hold less value. While Foley does describe his views on other reality-based subjects, these sections are mostly enjoyable because they are juxtaposed against the backdrop of wrestling, which is removed from reality. Therefore, great book for fans. Okay book for others. As a fan - 5 stars from me.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Can't Get Enough Foley
Review: Mick Foley's new book proves once again that we can't get enough of Mick. This is a great read. You will find yourself laughing and crying as Mick leads us by the hand thru that roller coaster mind of his. It is unusal for charisma to be so strong that it is felt thru a book. What can be next for Mick? Whatever it is I will by it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book
Review: Well as usual Mick Foley amazes and entertains in this book. The highlight for me was his research into th IU sudy of pro wrestling,and also his look into PTC leader,L.Brent Bozzells III's past. Bassically proving what every wrestling fan already knew about the man! He is a farce! Thanks for all the fun and memoies Mick...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Trully Insightful
Review: I will admit to being a Foley fan since the very first time I actually sat and watched a wrestling show. There is something about Mick Foley that I just can not explain. When his first book, "Have A Nice Day", was published we bought it immediately and both my husband and I read it, fighting for control over it, as we both didn't want to put it down. I really enjoyed getting the inside view of wrestling and of the life of my favorite wrestler Mick. But "Foley is Good" just blew me away. These two books are the only Autobiographies I have ever finished. Foley is funny, witty, heart touching, poinent, dramatic, and thought provoking.

His books are easy to read and even a non-wrestling fan would find them enjoyable just for the humor in them. But "Foley is Good" is more then just humor. He opens himself up to us all. We see his hopes, his dreams, his heartache for Owen Hart's tragic death, his feelings for his family, and his very strong views on the PTC among others. He talks of censurship, parenting, the hardship of attempting to live ones dream. He expresses regret and remorse of actions that he has taken that have upset his family. He was allowed and willing to express his opinion of things he think was/is done wrong in WWF today. You can see the love he has for his family. How much they mean to him. You can see his sense of honor. And his intelligence.

Yes this book is funny. I rarely laugh out loud when reading, but he had me laughing hard. I also rarely cry when reading, but the chapter on Owen did me in there. Yet what sticks in my mind the most was the feeling you get for Foley's love for life. He lives it to its fullest (and in some cases hardest). We could all learn from Foley about how to love, laugh, take responsiblity as parents, and cry.

The title says it all. Foley is Good.
