Summary: Best Book Ever
Review: I don't read books, but I could not put this book down. It was entertaining and I was intrigued by the history and the making of the greatest entertainer of the world. He has stories which everybody can relate to when they grow up. I learned that the real rock aka dwayne johnson was completely different than the character the rock. I recommend this to anybody.

Summary: A Crumbling Rock
Review: After having read Foley's book I was quite disappointed with the book by "The Rock". Seems he is walking that proverbial fence between what is the politically correct thing to say and what he really wants to say. Is he afraid he might anger the management and tarnish his image? The book is not as "hardcore" as Foley's. He does present the reader with some interesting behind the scenes look at pro-wrestling and I did enjoy the sections about his family, upbringing, and his meteoric rise to the top of his profession.I am however left with a void or empty spot. I think I expected more of the character "Rock" to embody this book and what I got was the real person, Dwayne Johnson.

Summary: The Rock Says. . .
Review: This is the best book I have read in a very, very long time. The Rock is definitely the Greatest Entertainer in the Wrestling Business today. He is matched by no man. I enjoyed this book so much, I have already read it twice it the last two weeks. I have also lent it to my roommate to read because we both love watching the Rock on Smackdown. Rocky, you are the greatest!

Summary: Jess Says: This Book Is Electrifying
Review: The Rock takes fans on a guided tour of big-time professional wrestling, a highly competitive business in which a handful of gifted and lucky performers dominate, and all others dream of a moment in the spotlight. He provides a breathtaking, minute-by-minute account of WrestleMania, the Super Bowl of the pro wrestling, including an intimate backstage look at rehearsals with his opponent, Stone Cold Steve Austin. And he discusses in heartfelt detail the loss of his friend and coworker, Owen Hart. Filled with genuinely touching stories of love and strife, hilarious anecdotes, inside accounts of an industry whose machinations have long been shrouded in secrecy, and dozens of previously unpublished photgraphs from The Rock's personal collection, The Rock Says...is--as the Rock himself might put it-- "the coolest thing since the other side of the pillow...If you smell what The Rock is cookin'!"

Summary: Well worth reading, but a bit dissappointing.
Review: I received this book in the mail the day after finishing Mick Foley's book. After reading Mick's fine autobiography I was eager to read the autobiography of The Rock. Two days later I had finished the book. The rock's book is not only physically shorter than Foley's but is 'padded out' with a huge number of photos. The rock has a lot less to say. What the rock does say however, despite being interpreted by a 'ghostwriter' is pretty good. He gives a good insight into the world of wrestling and goes into greater detail on the 'choreography' of wrestling than mick does. Having said that though, Mick's work is a lot better, he takes the 'middleman' out of the communication between subject and reader. Mick had to start from the 'bottom' of the wrestling world and climb his way to the top. The rock on the other hand was helped greatly by his 'third generation' background and his families links to the WWF. I am in no way suggesting that the rock didn't have to fight to get where he is today, he just didn't have to fight as hard as Foley. The Rock achieved relativey easily in a few years what it took Mick Foley one and a half decades of blood sweat and tears to do. I did enjoy reading this book, but was dissappointed after having read Mick Foley's. The peices in the book written in the style of the rock aren't nearly as funny as the stuff the rock comes out with on TV. I would recommend this book to Big fans of the Rock, they will enjoy it. To wrestling fans not so keen on the rock I would tell them to borrow the book and read it, but not to buy it unless they felt they wanted to. Having now read two wrestler autobiographies I must admit I would like to read more such books. However I only wish to read ones with a substantial story to tell. I would like to read the autobiographies of legends like Terry Funk, who have been wrestling for a long time and probablt have a huge number of stories to tell. Also I would be interested in reading such a book by the Undertaker, who has been right at the top of wrestling for a long time. The undertaker is a real legend, I would like to know how he prepared for all the epic battles he has fought, casket matches, hell in a cell, buried alive, inferno matches and many championship bouts. How he developed, undoubtedly along with Vince McMahon, a persona that would be such a huge hit with the fans for so many years. Another superstar who would probably have a good story to tell would be Chyna, being the first female superstar in the wwf to take on the men. She would have had to overcome a lot of prejudice in such a male dominated sport where it is rare for the women to recieve such recognition. I also beleive she has travelled a lot in Europe, which I would be interested to read about. However in the case of chyna, I think she should wait until she has reached the peak of her career before she writes such a book, and I think she can achieve more than she has so far. An area I would like to know more about in general are the relationships between wrestlers before the fights. Working out how best to kick the hell out of each other in an amazing dispay of athleticism and showmanship. I would also like to know about how such great athletes prepare themselves physically for such battles, the months of hard training as so forth. Anyway, as you've proably realised by now, I do tend to go on a bit so I think I'll KNOW MY ROLE AND SHUT MY MOUTH.

Summary: Good Book
Review: The Rock is a really good book. The first half of the book is the most interesting. It is the story of the real Dwayne Johnson. The only part of the book that disappointed me was that he went into character in the book. If he would have just stayed Dwayne Johnson and told us how he had felt during those matches he describes, it would have definitly gotten 5 stars.

Summary: An Excellently Electrifying Piece of Literature!
Review: Being able to read with my very own eyes the life and times of Dwayne Johnson (aka The Rock) has made me an even bigger Rock fan than I was in the past. I must admit though I've liked The Rock for most of his pro wrestling career, I stereotyped him as a man who "had it made" growing up. As a third generation superstar, I automatically thought since his family members were previously in the business probably making good money, he really did not have to work hard to aspire to achieve excellence in his life. Obviously, after reading his unique story, The Rock wasn't exactly "livin' large" like I had originally assumed. The Rock was a man who had to pay his dues and strive for the prosperity he now enjoys. While attending the University of Miami as a student athlete, he envisioned a long and illustrious future in the NFL, but things did not go as planned. His college football career led him to the Canadian Football League (CFL), where times were tough and the cash was hard to come by. The Rock was desperately searching for a career that would bring greatness and fulfillment to his life. He wasn't able to find that joyous feeling in the football sector, therefore he looked elsewhere for a change that would turn his life around dramatically. After lots of thought, he found that passionate feeling in the sports-entertainment business he grew up in known as professional wrestling. With dedication and a diligent work ethic, he has become a popular entertainer for all the world to see. He dazzles his fans with his creative catchphrases and extraordinary performances in the ring, thus excellently earning him the title of "The Most Electrifying Man in Sports-Entertainment." Without a doubt, The Rock has become one of the most captivating personas to step foot in the entertainment world in a long time. The synopsis listed above and more is what all the millions........and millions of Rock's fans out there can take part in and get of better glimpse of the man known as "The People's Champion." So my fellow readers of this excellent review who have not bought The Rock Says..., go ahead and pull out your Visa, Mastercard, or whatever credit card you may have; or you can open up that checkbook; or you can stretch out that wallet or purse and take out those dollar bills which are enclosed in it and buy "The People's Book" and excellently smell what Dwayne Johnson and The Rock are cookin'!
