Book Reviews of The Rock Says...
Book Review: An Electrifying Read
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been a wrestling fan most of my life, and as an adult, I've been fascinated with the behind-the-scenes aspect, the business part of it. I thought Mick Foley's "Have a Nice Day" was tremendous, and looked equally forward to this book. It's not as good as that work, but "The Rock Says. . ." is a decent book in its own right.Yes, I was disappointed that the Rock (Dwane Johnson) didn't write the book all by itself. I also didn't care for the sections that were esentially play-by-plays of various matches as seen through the Rock's (the character, not Dwane Johnson's) eyes. I was familar with those matches and they were mostly a distraction from the book. I would have also liked to have seen more about his interactions with current co-workers Mankind and HHH. But I'll review this book for what it is, not what it isn't.
Dwane's story, the Rock's story . . . now that was entertaining. I was thoroughly engrossed, and couldn't put the book down. It was a quick read, but I really enjoyed his story, how he got to be "the most electrifying man in sports entertainment." It's great to see the man behind the character. It was also very cool seeing all the insights behind the scenes of pro wrestling. Dwane Johnson is an honest, compassionate, hard-working, and entertaining guy, and "The Rock Says. . ." is a very worthwhile read for anyone, wrestling fan or not.
Book Review: An Excellently Electrifying Piece of Literature!
Summary: 5 Stars
Being able to read with my very own eyes the life and times of Dwayne Johnson (aka The Rock) has made me an even bigger Rock fan than I was in the past. I must admit though I've liked The Rock for most of his pro wrestling career, I stereotyped him as a man who "had it made" growing up. As a third generation superstar, I automatically thought since his family members were previously in the business probably making good money, he really did not have to work hard to aspire to achieve excellence in his life. Obviously, after reading his unique story, The Rock wasn't exactly "livin' large" like I had originally assumed.The Rock was a man who had to pay his dues and strive for the prosperity he now enjoys. While attending the University of Miami as a student athlete, he envisioned a long and illustrious future in the NFL, but things did not go as planned. His college football career led him to the Canadian Football League (CFL), where times were tough and the cash was hard to come by. The Rock was desperately searching for a career that would bring greatness and fulfillment to his life. He wasn't able to find that joyous feeling in the football sector, therefore he looked elsewhere for a change that would turn his life around dramatically.
After lots of thought, he found that passionate feeling in the sports-entertainment business he grew up in known as professional wrestling. With dedication and a diligent work ethic, he has become a popular entertainer for all the world to see. He dazzles his fans with his creative catchphrases and extraordinary performances in the ring, thus excellently earning him the title of "The Most Electrifying Man in Sports-Entertainment." Without a doubt, The Rock has become one of the most captivating personas to step foot in the entertainment world in a long time.
The synopsis listed above and more is what all the millions........and millions of Rock's fans out there can take part in and get of better glimpse of the man known as "The People's Champion."
So my fellow readers of this excellent review who have not bought The Rock Says..., go ahead and pull out your Visa, Mastercard, or whatever credit card you may have; or you can open up that checkbook; or you can stretch out that wallet or purse and take out those dollar bills which are enclosed in it and buy "The People's Book" and excellently smell what Dwayne Johnson and The Rock are cookin'!
Book Review: An Inside Look at Pro Wrestling
Summary: 4 Stars
I read this book right before the Rock had his big Iron Man Match with Tripple H at Judgement Day. The Rock tells it like it is in his own words, giving readers an accurate insiders look at pro wrestling. A must for pro wrestling fans, but his profuse use of foul language makes this book inappropriate for younger readers.Book Review: An outstanding book
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Rock Says" has to be one the best books written. Even though I am not a huge wrestling fan, I found I could not put this book down. I am currently readying "Have a nice day (Mick Foley) and am finding it lengthy and hard to stay interested in. I would suggets the Rock's book to anyone looking to read a funny and delightful book.Book Review: Awesome
