beards are still cool - Rated 
Again Mick Foley has produced an excellent book. This time he recalls in greater depth the WWE era of his career. There are some truly awesome tales in this book, such as the penis suplex, the rock n sock connection to name but two.
Mick does get caught up in some political aspects of the business towards the end of the book which is a bit too heavy going, but this does not spoil the read. The rest is fast paced, funny and heart warming. Some find it a bit random in places, but that just makes it a more personal experience.
Moral of the story, wear pants under your lycra.
Buy it, read it and pass on the wisdom of wrestling.
This book should have been titled "the random thoughts of Mick Foley" - Rated 
Compared to "Have a Nice Day", this book is pretty pointless. It seems more than anything to be a collection of Foley's random thoughts and political views on things, which get a little boring. I even found myself skimming through certain parts they were that bad/pointless.
In this book Foley seems to have tried to appeal to non-wrestling fans as well which really ruins the book as it seems to have no overarching point to it. There is very little in this book that these days you will not have, and surprisingly the humour in the book is just tired and not that funny at all. Wow, Mean Street Posse and Test jokes! How funny!
Have a Nice Day was superb, setting the standards for all other wrestling books after it. Foley is Good when measured against these standards, comes up short in many, many ways. Avoid unless you're a huge Foley fan, and even then go into it with low expectations.
Value for money - Rated

Foley is Good and firing on all cylinders - Rated
After have a nice day we thought that maybe Mick would settle and let the royalties flood in but no, we get more gems from the Hardsore Legend. In this second instalment we get a look at subjects close to Mick in the last year of his fully active career. He talks very lovingly about his friend ships with the late Owen Hart and Brian Pillman, about how to end his career on a high point and also about tacling the negative press that pro wrestling gets fro some people who need to ge a life. So for anyone who likes (or loves) pro wrestling the buy this book and you will not be dissapointed. For non wrestling fans - buy this book and read the words of a big man with a huge heart and if yoiu fail to be moved or amused by his words and thoughts then I feel you are alredy dead. A fantastic moving and funny at the same time read,. highly recommended.
Foley is Good! - Rated
This, along with Have a Nice Day, is one of the best boks I have read in my life! I would recommend it to anyone who has a passing interest in wrestling, sport, or even reading!
