Tietam Brown is the story of a young man who has it really rough in life. He serves seven years in juvenile detention, then meets the father he's never known, and the story ensues. The book has a darkly comedic side to it, showcasing Foley's dry sense of humor. The book is well written and highly descriptive because Foley obviously followed this advice: "Write what you know." The story often closely mirrors Foley's own life with the huge wrestling influence and the title character's year-round love of Christmas, among many others. Some of the events of the book even seem copied word-for-word from Foley's other books. By itself, the book would be pretty good, but after reading Have a Nice Day and Foley is Good (Foley's non-fiction autobiographies), this book sounds like more of the same, only it is supposed to be fiction. If you are a big fan of Mick Foley's career and writing, then I encourage you to at least check this book out at your library (then decide if you would be willing to spend money on it). But if you want stories about wrestling, just read his non-fiction books, and you'll be much more entertained.Read full review
Tietam Brown takes you on an emotion roller coaster. Mick Foley has written an amazing story of a boy who has been through unbelievable things in his life. I highly recommend it.
