nrogers_1030's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 7%

Couldn’t get into it. Not for me.

too many chair shots!!! bad book, bad writer!!!

I did end up liking this but it took a little while to get into because I didn't recognise any of the people or companies until he hit the height of his WCW days. In the preface Mick Foley says he hopes this book would be accessible to non-wrestling fans as well but I don't think a casual or non viewer would be able to follow the book. He spends a lot of time describing his driving, or blow-by-blow accounts of the matches which is understandable from him handwriting the book but could have been edited down. I think it was a good insight into the wrestling world (and I had to stop reading at several points of the Japanese death matches!) but I think a lot could have been edited out to make it a stronger book.

Great book, loved the stories. Writing was not bad and you could tell it was Mick (even though this far out you knew it was him). There were some random tangents that he went through but it's his book, who cares?

I enjoyed it more than I expected! Definitely a slow start but towards the end the matches described have me looking them up on YouTube to experience them properly. Who knew I could be interested in pro wrestling!

Não recomendado para todas as idades, visto que Foley descreve alguns dos momentos mais horrendos de sua carreira. Com muito humor, mas também muita seriedade, Mick Foley transporta - nos para o seu mundo: um mundo de meias sujas e sangue.

Not suitable for all ages, as Foley describes some of the most gruesome moments of his career. With a lot of humor and also a lot of seriousness, Mick Foley brings us to his world: a world of dirty socks and blood.
