Summary: The Rock Says...
Review: This is a very good book. In it, Duane Johnson talks about growing up in the sport of professional wrestling. He also talks about what it's like to be the "most elctrifying man in sports-entertainment today." I like it when he talks normally in one chapter, then in another he goes into character. Another thing I like are the in-depth matches that he talks about like WrestleMania 15 and the Royal Rumble. The Rock is the only man who can boast being a third generation superstar in the World Wrestling Federation. His father was Rocky Johnson and his grandfather was High Chief Peter Maivia. The best part about the book is when he talks about his football playing days at the University of Miami. How he bonded with his coaches and won a national title. If you buy this book, you won't be disappointed!

Summary: Stale, boring, dull, ...........(the list goes on)
Review: This book is as stale as the Rock's character on TV. Hey Rock, it is a biography!!!!!! Which means you shouldn't be in character. From one page to the next you don't know whether you are reading The Rock or D.Johnson. This book makes no sense and is why pro wrestlers shouldn't write books.

Summary: A Book on its Own
Review: One of the biggest mistakes a person would do is trying to compare two books written by two different authors who have led two very much different lives. Just because they share the same profession doesn't mean they're actually going to write the same stuff. Mick Foley's book is great. It's one of the sincerest, most heart-warming piece of literary advent of a wrestler there ever was, but that doesn't mean that the Rock's book should be cut short of being just that.First off the length of this book is much shorter than Mick's and could very well be gobbled in much as one sitting, or in my case two since I was ill at the time and I had to take breaks for taking my cold medicine. That doesn't mean the book is too short, it just means that it sums up this man's life rather well and doesn't bleed with excess of repition and even more repitition. The Rock has a different view of what life is and how he goes on with it. He grew up differently from Mick. He was born into wrestling and this rich history and provided the grand mix of his multicultural family that writing about all just has an allure that one might think kind of intimidating. This is what makes up the bulk of the book and really how it truly stands out from Mick's. The only bad thing, and it doesn't necessarily mean bad in a spoken sense, is that there is a wide gap of lack of genuine humor with a spark of innocense between the Rock's and Mick's books. This, I believe, is the major downside and why a lot of people have so much gripe with this book. That, however, is compensated in pieces when the Rock gets into character and really lashes out with his usual repartee. This can get annoying at times since the rest and the majority of the books is really heartfelt and completely sincere in form, but it's very true to the Rock's character. This book is a fantastic journey to the mind, the soul, and the very heart of a very dedicated person, a family man and inspiration to the millions and millions of fans out there. His life story, albeit short is very emotional, candid and rich in history. This is a book that stands on its own as an electrifying read from start to finish by a person that is rightfully called the most electrifying man in sports entertainment.

Summary: Layeth The Smackdown? Almost.
Review: This book just screams "light reading" from cover to cover. If you're looking for a profound meaning to life, you're reading the wrong book. The Rock's life story (so far) is interspersed with pictures from his youth, football days and wrestling life, helping the reader relate the man to his words. Joe Layden is a veteran of many books on sports, and has, undoubtedly, helped to make this book so easy to read. If you're a wrestling fan, this is definitely a good read. It will show you what happens behind the scene at the WWF, and how one of the most popular wrestlers in the WWF became what he is today. Along the way, it gives brief peeks at some of the other wrestlers of the WWF, with Stone Cold being the main one because he has worked so extensively with The Rock. If you're not a wrestling fan, this book still has something for you. It is about the trip a man has taken through life--it shows the obstacles he had to face and how he overcame them--reads like a movie. Incidentally, it will also give you a short answer to the question "Is all this wrestling for real??". Like the wild entertainment that is the WWF on TV, you will be thoroughly entertained when you're reading this book. However, you will probably bring little away with you from this book. Perhaps there's sense in what The Rock said when he said he's the "Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment" after all.

Summary: This Book can't hold a candle to Mick Foley
Review: All the rock talks about is football....football.....football.....I bought the book to get some wrestling insight from the man who is the supposed wrestler to lead us into the new millenium. Dwayne Johnson didn't pay a goddamn due to get where he is today and I hope to never pick this book up again. The only reason he got one star is because I can't give negative stars. Steve's Rating for "The Rock Says..." negative ten stars

Summary: The Rock Says
Review: Many of the superstars of the WWF have written biogrphies on themselves. One of those people were Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock. This book was a great book for a person who really likes the Rock. It gives you background information on the life and liberty of The Rock. It's a really good book for anyone looking to become a WWF superstar because it tells exactly what it takes to become a superstar. I espcially like the tribute to Owen Hart. I also liked the way they went through some of the major events he was in. It told me what went on before the match and how they went through designing the match. It went through the big match at Wrestlemania with him against Stone Cold Steve Austin and just how many times they went through the match together. Int the book it was wierd the way the Rock talked in first and second person back and forth. This would be a great book for anyone who wants to get a more in depth look at the most electrifying man in sports entertainment today The Rock.

Summary: Its O.K!
Review: Let me get this straight, if you like the Rock, and you like reading stuff like WWF Magazine - type articles. Then you'll love this book, because anything in this book could have been written in WWF Magazine, if not the RAW magazine. But for the wrestling fan that wants to go into more serious issues, then this book is not for you.

Summary: I can't believe it!
Review: For my husband to sit down and read five chapters in one sitting tells me that this must be a good book for someone who is interested in wrestling! He doesn't normally read more than one article in ESPN magazine in any one sitting. He is reading and sharing it with me. Nice job!

Summary: The Rock Says : The Most Electrifying Man in Sports
Review: I have given The Rock Says five stars because it is very detailed and it also answers a lot of questions I had about wrestling and about the Rock. Also he told great stories about his life it was very interesting. since the book is so good I would argue that this book is one of the best autobiography.
