Rating: Summary: The Rock...more like god Review: This book is real hot. It is the best book I have ever read in my whole life. It is really funny and straight to the point. How the character jumps from Dwayne Johnson to The Rock is very interesting and gives his veiw of life on both of the people he is. If you are looking for a new book to read, read The Rock Says. This book won't dissapoint you at all. The Rock is the greatest man who ever lived. WWE is dumb but The Rock is his own person away from wrestling, so if you dont like WWE than you could still enjoy this book to da MAX!
Rating: Summary: The Rock says... Review: ...very little of note.This book is relatively short, and a quick, fly-by read. It's a good thing, too, as if it had been written at any greater length I may well have not bothered to finish it. Let me just explain: I'm not intending to put down Rocky, but this book is the most awfully written of the WWEs 'series'. It feels horribly superficial, and at the end of it I was left with the very unpleasant realisation that it had actually made me dislike him. It has the feel of a school essay that he was forced to write; there is no humor, no real insight, just a run down account of his life. The language is unemotive and bland. You don't much feel like you get to know him, or gain a greater understanding of him. You do, however, get confused and annoyed when he starts writing in character. I only recommend this book to die-hard Rock fans but I warn them that, if they're expecting a book on par with those by Mick Foley, they will be sorely dissappointed.
Rating: Summary: Not bad Review: This book was fairly good at telling the Rock's life story, but it went downhill fast when he put on the Rock character and talks in third person as always. Probably one of the worst books the WWF/WWE has put out from one of their wrestlers.
Rating: Summary: I Can Smell It, Can You? Review: as being one of the biggest Rock fans, and reading his book maybe 1 year ago but i have had it when it came out but never got a chance to read it, but when i did, i could say much as i couldnt put the book down, after reading it last year i still remember everything from it, to him growing up in the buisness, to Maria in the park(smiles) to his canada football days, where he couldnt play much because his herniated discs in his back, and also his first match into the WWF/WWE now, and also got his name Rocky Miavia, and out of respect for his Father and Grandfather. through his days as "The Blue Chipper"(i gotta say whoever thought of that should think about it in a corner) to the days where i started to like him as he joined The Nation Of Domination, and teamed with Owen Hart(R.I.P) and to The Peoples Champ, then a twist to the Corporate Champ(remake of 1997 Montreal Screwjob). i can say one thing from this book, read it and you wont look at Dwayne the same again
Rating: Summary: The Book Review: It does'nt Matter what you have read. It does'nt matter, what you are reading now. The only thing that does matter is the smak that is bein laid down. You should get this book, so you can read what The Rock, is writing.
Rating: Summary: The Rock is hot! Review: I think that The Rock's biography The Rock Says... was absolutely the best book ever published and the best book I ever read. I think anyone and everyone would thoroughly enjoy this book. And if asked to rate it on a scale of 1-10 they would give it and absolute 11!
Rating: Summary: A Good Read, But Remember It's NOT Literature! Review: One of the things I do when deciding to purchase the book is consider who the author is and check out what he's trying to say. This means if you grab an autobiography or biography, you have to keep in mind that personality; you can't compare it to other books you read in other genres or against authors with a different style or experience. I loved "The Rock Says..." because it is an autobiography about an interesting personality, and it is written more or less like we expect him to "talk". That's why I enjoyed it - no pretensions to being a great piece of literature. The story of his life and some of the difficulties he went through before deciding to join the Wrestling arena are fascinating. Ok he slipped in and out of his two personas, but that was most likely to show the differences between his career development and his personal life. I enjoyed the book because it gave insight into a man who seems more intelligent than people expect from the pro Wrestlers. The way he tells us about the whole Wrestling thing as a whole was quite entertaining. You have to admit that it was funny that he freaked out his wife when he was simply auditioning to break into the business! Too, his honesty about his experiences as a college student on the football team and the way he dealt with his injuries show he is a human being after all... and how he rose from his troubles would be inspiration for kids who think that not meeting expectations means the end of the world. It doesn't. Whether you like him or not, that's purely up to you. This book was enough for me to read as I got out of it what I expected - a look into pro wrestling and an peep into the life of one of the most interesting men in the field. I actually enjoyed it more than I had expected to! Read this book and enjoy it as I believe that was what was meant by it. You might develop some respect for the man behind the Rock if you read it with an open mind and for pleasure. If you want serious literature, try Ms Byatt's "Possession"...
Rating: Summary: Laying the smack down properly Review: Definitely a good book. A very entertaining read, and just as much inspirational as a helping hand, giving us a look inside the crazy and surprising world of Sports. Unfortunately when it comes down to the top of his wrestling-career the style of the book transforms into the style of the Rock, which is very entertaining too (and funny), but I miss the personal insight that I get a lot of at the beginning about "The most electrifying man of sports entertainment", when he was only called Dwayne... The book gives a couple of insights into the biz as well. All in all a good book, written in Hollywood-style. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because I read Mick Foley... and that's better. Despite the Rock's coolness and bombing lines, nothing beats Foley's honesty and sense of humour. But I do recommend this one to lovers of wrestling and those interested. Not a must, but a worth...
Rating: Summary: The Rock Says Review: "The Rock Says" "The Rock Says" is an autobiography of one of the most popular wrestlers today, The Rock. This book has some of the Rock's childhood memories and how many times he would move because of his father being a wrestler. Also reveals the struggle of making it to where he is now. He first wanted to live his life being a professional football player. After many years of trying to make it to the NFL, he finally decided to follow in his father's footsteps and become a wrestler. He set out to many parts of the U.S. With no one's support but his wife and his parents. It shows the struggles and gifts of being what you want to be in life, and no matter what its takes for you to get there. Nicole Badrudeen
Rating: Summary: great book Review: The Rock Says... is a terrific, humorous autobiography of the most electrifying man in sports entertainment. I especially liked the jumping in between characters, from Johnson to The Rock. All i can say is that it's a heck of a lot better than the terrible "It's True! It's True" by Kurt Angle, which seems like it's written by a 2 year old.
