Foley's third biography.
I find it funny how he has three now. His first one was great, second one was good, and I imagine his third one will be less good than the second one, but still good.

I can flip to any page of the first book and just start reading. No matter how many times I read the DDP cookies story, it still has me laughing out loud.

I'd imagine Foley still has a lot to say considering his second autobiography was released around 6 years ago(?). Personally I'd love to hear more stories from him.

Foley is just one of these guys who has amazing natural knack for writing and story-telling. Truly talented guy in this field.

The fact that his first book was NY Times bestseller does not begin to illustrate how good of a story it really is. Pity it will always be overshadowed by the fact that it's a wrestling book. It's probably one of the most enjoyable reads I've ever had and I read a lot.

Have A Nice Day was a fantastic book. Foley Is Good was looking to be a fantastic book, until it degenerated into a book of lists and stats in the second half, which was a pity. It seemed pretty rushed and scraping the barrel for more material. Hopefully, this time Foley will have a lot more material plus will have remembered a few more untold anecdotes from back in the day.

Really, the first book told the story of his entire active career. Any sequel is never going to have the same depth or impact.
