Summary: Phil Yochim says ....
Comment: While the Rock may be one of the greatest wrestlers in the game today, he's neither a great writer or storyteller.
The Rock Says ... follows closely on the heels of Mick Foley's successful autobiography, and apparently he believed because Foley wrote a great book, he could too. Too bad, but he was wrong, and ghostwriter Joe Layden didn't help any either.
The most annoying blemish of the book is the character shifts. All of a sudden, the voice goes from being plain ol' Dwayne Johnson to THE ROCK, which is unfortunate. Mr. Johnson is often more interesting than THE ROCK. When writing as THE ROCK, he repeats many of the catchphrases WWF fans have heard for years, and while they're exciting to listen to, they're tiring to read.
Another flaw of the book is just its timing. THE ROCK is at the height of his career, and he's got a lot more to come, much unlike Foley, whose wrestling career was beginning to wind down. So why write your memoir when you've got so much yet to accomplish?
The book isn't a loser, though. The reader has a good look and understanding of Mr. Johnson's personal and professional history, and his heritage, which probably plays a larger part in his career than most realize. Under the shadow of THE ROCK, most fans have forgotten he is the WWF's first third-generation champion and superstar. It was also interesting read about his daily routines and a few of his personal beliefs, something Foley neglected in his first book.
The Rock Says ... is also a story of dedication and success. Mr. Johnson arose from his status as a mediocre student and washed-up football player to becoming a near-overnight success.
I would recommend this book to any wrestling fan, especially aspiring wrestlers, just to show them success can be had, but it can be a long and miserable road to get there.

Summary: the rock says read this review......
Comment: This is one of the best books that i have read maybe i feel this way because I am one of the biggest rock fans anyone will ever meet. But this book was really written well and it told a very good story describing the rocks(Dwayne Johnson)life story in its entirety. From his days growing up watching his grandpa and his dad compete to where he is now as the most electrafying man in sports entertainment. The one thing that I do believe is that this book could have waited a little bit longer before it was written simply because he has accomplished so much more since then. Other than that it was a great book and i reccomend it to anyone with an interest.
