Summary: If ya read what The Rock is writin'!
Review: The People's Champion delivers a book unlike any other, even Have A Nice Day!, the autobiography of fellow (now retired) wrestler, Mick Foley. The Rock throws in his own clever writing style with bonuses like in-character descriptions of important matches and learning of his legacy, including some of the most famous wrestlers to ever lay the SmackDown! Not on par with Foley's book but if you are a die-hard Rock fan buy this book now, or be a roody-poo forever!

Summary: THE ROCK, EASY TO LISTEN, HARD TO READ
Review: AS FAR AS THE ROCK GOES, I LOVE HIM, HE IS SUPER TO LISTEN TO! WHEN I BOUGHT HIS BOOK I COULDN'T WAIT TO READ IT, THE BEGINNING WAS INTERESTING, AND KEPT ME INTERESTED. HOWEVER WHEN HE BEGAN TALKING IN THE 3RD PERSON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOOK, IT BECAME RATHER CONFUSING. IT MADE THE BOOK MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO READ. IF HE HAD STAYED IN THE 1ST PERSON, OR BEGAN IN THE 3RD PERSON THE BOOK WOULD HAVE READ MUCH SMOOTHER! AND OF COURSE I DO HAVE TO SAY THAT THE ROCK IS A HOTTIE! AND I AM GLAD I READ HIS BOOK, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A DIFFICULT READ!

Summary: The Rock Writes!
Review: The Rock brings it to the page in this biopic tale of his life. An easy read, this book has three writers, Dwane Johnson, a ghostwriter, and The Rock. Most of the book is in Dwane's eyes, but a few chapters are write in the Rock's character. This book is very informative and actually fun to read. You can see how much he loved playing football, and also see his love for his wife and for wrestling. I learned a lot about the business of wrestling through this book. I say, don't be a jumbroni, just buy it!

Summary: A Candy ( ) written book
Review: Very upset the Rock would short change his fans, and not write the book himself. Heck Mankind took the time. The Rock was just looking for a payday. I still am a fan of his mic skills and wrestling, just not his writing.

Summary: A solid purchase
Review: Although this book was obviously meant to cash in on the wrestling biography craze that started with Mick Foley's "Have A Nice Day," it does have many interesting points. I found his comments about other wrestlers, his match with Steve Austin at Wrestlemania, and his tribute to the late Owen Hart particulary intriguing. However, even though I am a big fan of The Rock, I must say that I was a little disappointed after turning the last page. This book does not hold a candle to Mick Foley's "tale of blood and sweatsocks." In his autobiography, Foley bounces around between different wrestling organizations (some even in in other countries), thoroughly describing his legendary matches along with some humorous insight as to what goes on behind the scenes of the business. Basically, Dwayne Johnson's story goes like this: Born a natural athelete into a family with a rich wrestling history, he excelled in sports, had a brief stint as a star college football player and then went straight to the top of the World Wrestling Federation within a few years of his debut. Not exactly the most inspirational story. Another thing that irks me is the chapters with the "Rock Talk." Although the writing is amusing, I bought the book to read about the man behind the character that I watch on TV every week. Still, this book is worth the money. Just make sure you read it before Mankind's book, or you will be in for a disappointment.

Summary: I Like Rock
Review: When I picked up the book, I wasn't sure if The Rock (who is my favorite wrestler) would be able to keep me interested by talking about wrestling. In fact, I didn't think he would be able to keep me interested. Well he proved me wrong. He talks about a lot of things that I didn't know about wrestling. He also talks about the loss of his co-worker and friend, Owen Hart. He also tells us about his conversation with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin before their big match at Wrestle Mania XV, as well as wars with Mankind, Triple H, Ken Shamrock, and also his alliance with Vince McMahon.That's a lot of also's. But The Rock can handle it, and he is a true narrator who keeps you interested, for the whole time you read.

Summary: The Rock says... book review!
Review: Online Book Review The Rock Says... by Dwayne Johnson TheRock Says is a very insightful book about life. It tells ups anddowns of the professional wrestler, The Rock. The book is only about 200 pages long but The Rock puts a lot of his life into the single book. Some parts in the book are innapropiate for young readers, such as his expirence with sex and relationships. It starts from when he lives in Hawaii and ends in present day when he is in the professional wrestling buisness. The book is very intresting if you watch some of the wrestiling shows, but if you read out of curiosity it takes a long time to catch on. The book gets slow after he goes to college and is trying to make it in the footbal business. It picks up after college when he is done with his football career. The book mainly illustrates the points in life, growing up, marriage, death, carrer, and sacrifices. The book was good with a only a few slip-ups. Out of five starts I give it three and a half stars. I recommend the book for twelve and up (12+). By Bryan Roush 8th Grade

Summary: Ronnie Says
Review: The Book "The Rock Says" is one of the best books I have ever read. I have read some pretty good books by such authors as Dean Koontz, Steven King, and Jeffery Archer, but this book has to rank up there with books by those guys. The reason i chose this book to read was because I like wrestling, in fact, I watch it every Monday night on USA, and The Rock is my favorite wrestler. As The Rock began to become more and more popular, the WWF began to invest more and more money in him. As T-Shirt sales went through the roof, they decided it would be in their best interest if The Rock could tell his story in a book. So the WWF got him a book deal and The Rock beagn to write his story. The best part about this book is that it is so real. The Rock wasnt some rich kid from Beverley Hills that was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. The Rock was a Samoan male born in Miami while his family struggled to survive. He went thorugh life without his dad who was mostly on the road during his work in wrestling. As he grew up, he tried new things, and did things all of us normal teenagers do. This book is just a great example of how the Rock is, and is hope for anyone out there who thinks they have it bad. Take a look at the Rock's life, and then you decide who had it bad, if you smell what the rock is cookin'.

Summary: Fun book that gets somewhat annoying
Review: The Rock is my favorite wrester, and as such, it is hard for me to keep myself from rating this book a 5. But, I'm rating on fact not my opinion of the character. The Rock couldn't tell me a whole lot about his wrestling career that I didn't already know before I read his book, but that's not the part that got to me. When he was writing about actual wrestling matches and events he participated in, writing "in character" with the third person rhetoric is horrible. I like to hear him talk trash with the best of them, but seeing it in print leaves somewhat of a bad taste in my mouth. The rest of the book is a tremendous read and makes up for the "in character" short-comings. The behind the scenes stories and stories of his childhood kept me turning the pages. I'd suggest this book to all wrestling fans, and those who have wondered what goes on behind the scenes.
