Countdown to
Lockdown: A Hardcore Journal by Mick Foley
Professional wrestler Foley is also the
author of the number-one New York Times best-seller Have a Nice Day!
(2000). This is his account of the 34 days leading up to his
emergence from retirement and debut with a new wrestling
organization. It’s a chronicle of training, injuries, and rehab. But
it’s also a collection of anecdotes about the wrestling
world—including a few about controversial impresario Vince
McMahon—musings about the use of steroids in the sport, and accounts
of charity work in Sierra Leone and Foley’s relationship with Paul
“Wolfie” Wolfowitz. Yes, that Paul Wolfowitz. Though the audience
for Foley’s writing is primarily the huge wrestling fan base,
readers who don’t care a whit about the spectacle will be
entertained by a surprisingly sophisticated man with a variety of
opinions about the world around him. The book satisfies on a number
of levels (particularly Foley’s self-deprecating humor) and will
likely draw significant interest. --Amazon.com
