Michaels- really good, enjoyed this one.
Foley 1- really good
Foley 2- brilliant
Eddie- it was ok
Jericho 1- brilliant
Jericho 2- brilliant (best wrestling autobiography)
Edge- hmm it was ok. It was before his main success
Austin- wasn't great
Lesnar- so so
Rock- horrible. Escape when its written 'rock style'
Bret- so so. Don't think it showed him in a great light

Can't think if I've missed any. I haven't read regals which I'd imagine is good

Foley's books are good. Going to read Jericho's book soon which will hopefully be good.

Ric Flair's, Dustin Rhodes', Eric Bishoff's and Joe "Animal" Laurinitus' are all worth a read

5ex lies and headlocks is a good read, as is the death of wcw

Pure Dynamite - The Dynamite Kid Autobiography

The Road Warriors: Danger, Death, and the Rush of Wrestling

Not Autobiography but another wrestling one I did like was Dungeon of Death: Chris Benoit and the Hart Family Curse.

As already mentioned William Regals one is good, as is the two Foley ones.

The Rocks first one was a bit hit and miss, the parts where he describes his matches in third person got old pretty quick and as a friend of mine said "He really hypes himself up during this book - If he wrote in it that he performed heart surgery on his best mate during an american football match it wouldnt seem out of place"

I liked the death of WCW but felt it dropped off a bit towards the end.

One I would avoid is "If only they Knew - Chyna" my mate bought me it as a gift a few Christmases ago and its possibly the worst autobiography I have read.

Bret Harts is fantastic even if he does come across arrogant at times. Reading about his upbringing in the Hart House under Stu and the tales of the Dungeon were great.

His tales on the road with the likes of Andre, Bad News Brown etc were very entertaining.

I recently read Heartbreak and Triumph by HBK. It doesn't get the best reviews but I personally found it a great read.

To be the Man by Ric Flair is 10/10. So many stories to open your eyes to wrestling.

Read Jerichos first and thoroughly enjoyed it
