Summary: A chaotic Christmas with the hardcore legend.
Review: After the huge success of his first two books, legendary wrestler-turned-writer Mick Foley decided to diversify his writing style by making a children's book about his favorite holiday, Christmas.The first thing you'll notice about "Mick Foley's Christmas Chaos" is the tremendous artwork done by commentator Jerry Lawler. I really had no idea that someone like him could draw so well, and I was suprised to see how much detail he put into all of the characters and background settings. The book is very well written, as we've come to expect from someone like Foley. Taking a page from the likes of fellow authors such as Dr. Suess, every line in "Christmas Chaos" is cleverly and humorously used in a rhyming fashion. This is a great book for people of all ages in need of a good laugh, but my only complaint is the cost. I bought it around two years ago at the mall for about $18 (it was actually on sale) and was able to finish it in six minutes. Maybe the price has lowered since then, but I find it a little ridiculous to pay so much for something that is so short.

Summary: A Fun Diversion For Foley Fans
Review: Christmas Chaos is Pro-Wrestling legend Mick (Mankind, Dude Love, Cactus Jack) Foley's first foray into the world of children's books after the mega-success of his autobiographical "Have a Nice Day!" As an older (32) reader, I bought this strictly as a Foley fan, since I have no kids of my own to read it to. On that level, it was a fun diversion; The art, by fellow wrestling legend Jerry "The King" Lawler, is smart and funny and well-rendered. The story itself is kind of weird: Santa begins to question the point of Christmas when his elves & Reindeer begin to act hostile towards him, and decides to cancel Christmas. The funny thing is, this behavior seems to have been brought about by watching WWF (Now WWE) Wrestling! Odd, considering this is a WWF tie-in book. The inclusion of famous-name WWF stars seems forced, but is thankfully brief, considering they contribute nothing to the actual story. With the questionable content, I don't know if I'd recommend Christmas Chaos for very young kids, but older kids will get the uplifting message at the end, and fans like me will enjoy seeing Foley & Lawler conquer a new medium.

Summary: Mick Foley's Christmas Chaos
Review: I bought this book as a Christmas 2000 present for my little boy who turned 4 in April. He absolutely loves it. It is one of his (and my) favorite books. We've read it over and over. I highly recommend it for all young wrestling fans.

Summary: Foley is good!
Review: Mick Foley's Christmas Chaos has to be a book destined to be a family classic. The Illustrations by Jerry "The King" Lawler are the true highlight. There is also humor (Jerry Lawler steals art supplies and Val Venis attempts to kiss Santa's wife). It also rhymes. For those of us expecting Foley to top Have a Nice Day!, don't!. This is purely a family (Or children's) book. I would still however have to recommend it. Than again, I am a fan of the WWF.

Summary: This Book Is Sure To Let You "Have A Nice Day"
Review: My kids loved this book. Mick Foley has one amazing imagination and this book truly has it all. I read Foley's first book, and it was sensational. This is not too far behind. Besides having one hilarious storyline, Mick Foley's Christmas Chaos sincerely brings home the true meaning of Christmas. It is a soon-to-be modern Christmas classic that flows so nicely. I had absolutely no idea that Jerry "The King" Lawler was such a talented artist, and his illustrations definately add to the book's overall good feel. The characatures are so well done and add lots of tremendous color to a book already rich in a colorful plot. This book is an excellent read, and a nice new book for the holiday season. Mick Foley's Christmas Chaos is a "can't miss" for any families with children.....and that's the bottom line!

Summary: One of the best x-mas stories ever written.
Review: O.k. I said I was going to buy it and I'm glad I did. This book is a wanderful piece of art. Jerry "the king" Lawler and Mick Foley are pure genuses. Oh and by the way Mr Bozell There is nothing wrong with the naked elf. You can't see anything. Do you actully think Mick would do a book that he would not let his kids see. You think he would do a book that would afend his wife. i don't think so. As far as Val venis and the godfather we will see the back in there rightful persona's very soon. Godfather isn't happy being a cencor. This book rock's.

Summary: A great gift
Review: Overall this book was just cute. Beautifully drawn by Jerry the King himself. The story reiterates the overall Christmas message with special appearances by the WWF superstars. Cute- but only read it once a year

Summary: good for wrestling fans, not sure about children today
Review: This is a children's book from professional wrestler Mick Foley. Foley is the author of two previous memoirs (Have a Nice Day, Foley is Good). The illustrations are done by Jerry "The King" Lawler. The idea of a children's book by a professional wrestler, not to mention one known for the level of violence that Foley is, is a little surprising and I was more than a little bit skeptical. Christmas Chaos is better than I expected. Santa has been having some problems up at the North Pole. The elves are showing no respect (one is running around naked and mooning Santa) and the reindeer are beating on Rudolph. Everyone is filled with greed and Santa is in despair. In the end he calls up Vince McMahon and a bunch of WWF superstars come and save the day. While the action is crude, it never goes over the line of what may be appropriate for children. Some parents may question the content, but in my experience (and the success of certain movies) this is what many children find funny, this sort of slapstick action. One thing that must be mentioned is the inclusion of WWF superstars. While this was done cleverly and was written well, it is also extremely dated and will only become more so as time goes on. A truly good children's book will stand up over time, but I doubt this one will. Children will not recognize the wrestlers and in another 5 years very few of them will be recognizable. This hurts the ending portion of the book. Since I recognized everyone, I enjoyed this children's book and thought it was fairly clever and well written. I'm not sure what the reaction of children will be this year and in 5 years.
