Summary: He is great
Review: I think the people who made brutal comment are either ECW/WCW/fellow WWF wrestlers.I read most of Rock reviews I could tell a lot about his critics. People with no emotions or shallow wit could be that disturbed of his year of exprience as a professional wrestler compared with Mick Foley when is at of top of his career. The rock is really promising and still as lot more to say judging by his greatness. The book was out because millions of people wants to know about him as well as the Mick Foley. IT GREAT YOU LOVE BOTH

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was great but...
Review: It was a very great book! But he talks about his wife too much. I love him and I respect his wife, but it gets me mad because I wish I was in Dany's shoes. But other than that is was great, it's nice to know how he feels about everything.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT I THINK
Review: This book was much better than I expected. It was no mick foley, but it was still ok. The parts written in 3rd person were silly and strictly for marks but the actual bio parts were interesting. Who knows how much Johnson actually wrote though? Also it glosses over too much background (especially Memphis). Johnson obviously got a LOT of breaks because of his connections, but he has produced great results when given the ball.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Rock- One Great Role Model
Review: The Rock Says is the most electrifying book I have ever read. It described the life of Dwayne Johnson a.k.a. The Rock. The book described the struggles he went through at Miami, and how hard it was to give up his dream. It also described his pro wrestling training and how much hard work and dedication it took. One does not become the most electrifying man in sports-entertainment over night. It took months of training for The Rock to even get a Try out. This book shows that The Rock is a mentally strong. The Rock could have giving up and become a nobody, But he work hard and became the most popular wrestler ever. This book makes me think of the dreams I have and that I shouldn't give up even if I run into a few problems.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Rock's OK, though not always correct
Review: The Rock's book is okay. ...Those little stints where he turned on his "Rock character" was a little distracting and annoying...it detracted from the book more than it added. Overall, though, the book was okay and rather enjoyable and easy to read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Rock Has A Lot To Say, So Know Your Role, and Listen Up.
Review: Riding Mick Foley's wave of success, Dwayne Johnson, a.k.a. "The Rock" writes a fairly entertaining book. Partially written as Johnson and patially written as The Rock, the book seems to flow quite nicely and keeps you reading, because you never quite know who is going to "be speaking" in the next chapter. Albeit, the Rock had a lot more background storylines than Foley, so the wrestling portion doesn't really make a full blown appearance until after the first few chapter, which really helps the book out a lot. It is peppered with humor nicely, and the football anecdotes are entertaining. However, the best part of the book has to be the end, where The Rock talks about his Wrestlemania XV WWF Championship match with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Even the beginner wrestling fan has to enjoy reading about the loads of preparation that goes into their in-ring performances. I was completely intrigued by The Rock's candid "opening of the door" to meticulus, pain-staking preparation that goes into this entertainment spectacle. This book is an excellent read, and will definately keep you entertained. Know your role, shut your mouth, and read this book. Oh, and have a nice day!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Steady as a Rock...
Review: A lot of people complained about Dwayne Johnson going into the character of the Rock too often in this book, and although admitidly annoying, The Rock drones in character in only 3 chapters. And I felt by putting this in the book, he was just trying to give us all a taste of what he's created, or a sense of what the character, The Rock, is all about. It's obvious that he keeps this persona of The Rock separate from himself-- The Rock is only a character and this is why Dwayne only refers to this part of himself in the 3rd person. What you get throughout the rest of the book is a surprisingly sensitive, honest, and interesting book about this man's life. He takes pride in his family, his choices, and his work ethic. Although at times he seems almost too confident, he also shows a vulnerable side that tells stories most macho men would never share. I will admit I was never a huge fan of wrestling and only loved The Rock for his funny dialogs and gorgeous muscles, but after this read, I see much more and respect the man behind the People's Eyebrow. While it's true that no book centered on wrestling could ever reach the standards of anything too deep, this is the closest you'll ever get.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Some reviewers are UNFAIR!
Review: The Rock Says is definitely THE best book I've read.I was reading over other reviews,and I'd like to comment on one.The person said The Rock has only been wrestling for three years,and that it's too early in his career to write a book.After reading his book,you'd realize he grew up involved in wrestling.That's why he wrote a book now.Another reviewer said the book was awful because he told about his life.Well,sorry to break this to you but that's what a biography does.It tells about someone's life.Before I read The Rock Says,I wasn't a fan of WWF.Now,The Rock is my favorite wrestler.To all those reviewers who hate The Rock and write bad reviews of his book,I just have to say....KNOW YOUR ROLE AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
