Review: The Rock says was the best book that i ever read in my life.

It was very inspiring for me As a yard wrestling champion[UNDEFEATED]

Mankind and Stone cold steve austins books put together do not inspire me as much as THE ROCK SAYS

Summary: Read it! ... You Roody Poos!
Review: This is one of the few books that I actually read, cover to cover in one day. I could not put it down. I even missed most of the playoff games this passed Sunday to fully comprehend the Rock's personal struggle, starting from the absolute rock bottom to becoming the greatest name in sports entertainment. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for more self-motivation and insight into how to become more like the great one. This book has inspired me to take my workouts in the gym to the next level. I have also realized the importance of self-confidence. I feel that because The Rock had such great confidence at a young age, it gave him the fortitude he needed to become the phenom he is today. I would like to emulate these qualities!

Summary: Best Seller
Review: I've just finished reading the rock says and I have to say that this book is going to be a best seller.I've meet the Rock before but to be honest, I met Dwayne Johnson and not the rock. Dwayne took a picture with me and was very nice to me. To be honest, I thought he would call me a jabroni or something but he didn't.My favorite part in the book is Chapter 12,the good,the bad...the ugly.He talks a lot about the fans and how he loves to sign autographs and take pictures with the fans.He says that the fans are not an annoyance, they are the only reason he's here.I got to witness this for myself.Everyone needs to read this book because you will appreciate him a little more for his kindness,unselfishness,and most important, his gift which is to entertain the millions and millions of rock fans.

Summary: Comparisons are not inevitable
Review: Dwayne Johnson is not Mick Foley. He's not Arn Anderson. His life story is his own, and The Rock is his own character. So...why are most of these reviewers angry with Johnson (and his book) for not being "Have a Nice Day" or "4 Ever"? I guess they wanted to spend 18 bucks on exactly the same thing they spent to read in Foley's (great) book, or whatever they spent to read in Anderson's book.

Don't get me wrong -- this book is *not* a masterpiece, like Foley's book. But it doesn't s#$k. In fact, it's a pretty good read. Dwayne Johnson has not done what Mick has, either in his life or in his book. What he has done is tell his own experience, his own life. And I think it's worth it to read it.

Yes, there is a big section in the middle in which he calls his own matches as The Rock speaking in the third person. But why are you all surprised? Did you think The Rock wouldn't show up?

Johnson refers to The Rock as a separate person throughout the book (as he should) because Dwayne Johnson *is not* The Rock. It's a character he plays, a skin he walks into when he works. I think that it is appropriate to give The Rock his own section because of his importance in Johnson's life. However, I do think it could have been cut in half without hurting a thing.

So here it is: The Rock starts on page 163 (Chapter 11) and Dwayne Johnson takes over again on page 227 (Chapter 14) and pretty much stays in control from there. I stuck with it and was not disappointed.

If you didn't stick, you missed Johnson's really cool rememberance of how he worked with Steve Austin to make the Wrestlemania XV match as good as they could get it and how they celebrated afterward. You missed the tribute to Owen Hart. You also missed what Dwayne Johnson thinks of The Rock as a character and a lot of his thoughts on the role of fans in his work.

Judge this book on its own merits. Johnson and his ghostwriter make a pretty good team, and the book is quite entertaining. If you can't handle as much of The Rock as Johnson dishes, skip that section. No one's twisting your arm to suffer through it, and it's very plain where it ends and where it begins.

Summary: A BOOK FOR ANYONE, NOT JUST WRESTLING FANS
Review: I have been on the net a lot lately, and I have heard a lot of people cutting this book down. Because of this, I decided that I should check this book out myself. I figured that it would stink, but in the end, it turned out to be a great book, wrestling fan, or no wrestling fan. I think that this book is great, and I highly recommend it, especially to WWF and Rocky Maivia fans. It gives backstage detail of Wrestle Mania 15, tells about Dwayne Johnson's puberty, and it tells about his football career. The Rock goes in and out of character, numerous times, which makes this book very interesting. I highly recommend this book.
