The absolute best is Foley's first, IMO. Bret's is also really, really good.
Don't bother with the Rock's.

Foley's and JErichos are awesome, which has done been said, But one that hasn't been mentioned that i LOVED was Edge's. It's a great read and reads like he's talking to you.

Bret Hart's and Mick Foley's first 2 are the best. Chris Jericho's books were good too, but the second one had a little too much about his music career for my tastes.
Kurt Angle's book was the worst, by far. It's almost like he wrote it in character. Stone Cold's book was okay, but it seemed too short and like he left out alot of details.

Am I the only person who really doesn't care for Jericho's second book? The first one was awesome, but the second one I just can't get into. He talks way too much about Fozzy, which I don't care about at all. He skips all over the place, and just kind of quickly summarizes entire years. I was really disappointed by it.

^ Yeah, as I mentioned in my post I didn't like all the stuff about Fozzy in Jericho's second book either.

Jericho's first book is my favorite (at least a tie with Foley's first) and Roddy Piper's is the worst, although slightly bizarrely fascinating.

Chyna's was......uh.....
Put it this way; I got it from the dollar store. From a large pile. For 50 cents. And I think I overpaid.

Judging by what everyone's been saying The Rock's book sounds like a shorter version of his latest dvd/blu-ray release.

I was really disappointed by it. the Fozzy stuff was boring as really, at least to me, his band just comes off as something he does in his spare time but not really something he wants to do his whole life. I like the book otherwise, but the big thing with his 2nd compared to his first is that the 2nd one has him trying to be a bit more politically correct. |

i got jericho's second one on sale for 15 bucks, hardcover. Honestly, its a really good book. I do wish he spoke more about his early years in WWF though. He skips through alot, and he doesn't really elaborate to much on the interesting parts. I like how he sort of defends Cena in this book. It sounds a bit like he was responding to Triple H's criticism of Cena through Subliminals. Something about "Dont let anybody tell you otherwise." Basically insulting anybody who thinks Cena has no skills whatsoever.
Overall its a very interesting book, not as good as his first, but still good nonetheless.

Best: Tie between Jericho's first and Foley's first for me.
Worst: Rock and Chyna's were equally awful.

Foley's first book is a magical piece of literature every wrestling fan should read.
As for worst, I've got a surprise: Superstar Billy Graham's. Just filled with self-righteous anecdotes and feels bitter/hypocritical in a lot of areas.
