Summary: 1 Stars
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.Book Review: A Critical Review for The Rock Says
Summary: 5 Stars
The Rock Says is not only an entertaining book but also an adventure. You adventure his life and all the hardships he has occurred. If you don't know about whom I am talking about, it is Dwayne Johnson a.k.a. The Rock. This book has many strengths. The biggest strength this book has is that, in detail, goes through his life, as you were him. He puts you in very difficult positions that he was in as a child and analyzes all the outcomes. The Rock has had a very hard life. When I finished reading this book, I realized he worked very hard to become a star in the World Wrestling Federation. He starts out as a troublemaker who didn't get very good grades. However his grades didn't matter because he had such a big body. In Miami, he played college football. The NFL didn't accept him because he had life threatening injuries, so he went to Canada. There he slept on dirty mattresses and he ate cold spaghetti every night. His dreams of being a football player were demolished. He barley had seven dollars in his pocket and he risked it to be a wrestler.
This book has very little weaknesses. I think the biggest weakness is that the chapters are not that well organized. Some of the chapters took to long to get to the point and they sometimes threw me off. Another weakness is that he talks in 3rd person which also sometimes confused me.
I recommend this book to teenagers and adults. This is a very good book to read. You do not need to be a wrestling fan to read this book. This book has humor, love, action, and horror. Not only men can read this but also women can to. The Rock describes how he met his wife Dany and how it was true love. This book also has excellent color photos and an excellent style of writing.
Book Review: A Crumbling Rock
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
Book Review: A Dynamic Story
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought that Mick Foleys book was great, and I love the Rock. The two books are different, yet equally interesting. Even if your not a wrestling fan this is still an excellent book to read. You get the chance to see what life for the Rock was before the WWF,during the start of the WWF, and what changes have been made up until now. Buy the book you won't regret it.
