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!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Foley is back!
Review: That's right. Mick Foley, WWF wrestler and best-selling author, is back with a vengence. Now I will admit that as I write this I'm only on chapter 22, but I just find it hard to put it down. Foley Is Good picks up where Have A Nice Day! left off, touching on new subjects such as the controversy surrounding backyard wrestling, and as always, there are plenty of Al Snow jokes. Only this time he blasts other wrestlers as well, including the Mean Street Posse, The Rock, and others. There are only a few disappointing notes about this book. In this book he mostly talks about the hardships of writing Have A Nice Day!, that is writing, editing, publishing and selling it. I was really expecting him to talk more about his final matches than how much time he spent on a book. The only match that has been really talked about was the "I Quit" match at the 1999 Royal Rumble. Overall: this is a great book. Those of you who read Have A Nice Day! should read this one too.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Foley is Good is Great!
Review: This book is a perfect extension of Mick's previous #1 seller Have a Nice Day, and if you haven't read Have a nice day, please do so because Mick takes you back a few times within his newest best seller and you wouldn't know what he is denoting unless you've read it. Great humor, intense writings (EPILOUGE), and even some very in depth emotional writing that can bring you to the point of tears(refering to the loss of his friend and co-heart Owen Hart). I'm glad Mick Foley is a writer but more of a realist especially when sorting through the wrestling hubbub and his real life with wife Collette and kids, Dewey and Noel. I personally think the literary world has a true blue writer on their hands. Get ready to be given the double arm DDT!!!

Rating: 5 stars
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. Buy this book now!

Rating: 5 stars
