The Rock Says: The Most Electrifying Man in Sports-Entertainment - The Rock and Joe Laydon

Dwayne Douglas Johnson, AKA the Rock, AKA that wrestler dude who's now a big time charlie of an actor. This book details his life from his early years, and his rise to superstardom in the late 1990's. The book published around the turn of the millenium is already out dated though (this is what happens when your still active in a sport and do biographies/autio-biographies, please note this Mr Hamilton, Mr Khan and Mr Rooney), and as a resuly doesn't aknowledge his acting roles, or anything post 2000 (argueably 2 years when The Rock was at his prime). So this already a complaint with the book, and all biographies wrote before people have completed (at least the ...  Read the complete review

Dwayne Johnson. Also known as “The Rock”. At present, he’s one of Hollywood’s up and coming film stars, having taken the lead role in 2004’s “Walking Tall” and having starred in “The Scorpion King” and “The Mummy Returns” in recent years. In 2005 he’s likely to be even bigger, with a support role in “Be Cool” alongside such major names as John Travolta and Uma Thurman. If this is all you know “The Rock for, this isn’t going to be the book for you. It doesn’t touch on his acting career at all, being written before that ever got started.

The Rock, the most electrifying man wrote this book, and it is, in my opinion, a very interesting book. "The Rock," who's real name is Dwayne Johnson writes about how he rose to fame. I bought this book from America, although it is available in the UK. It took me only one week to read, because it was so interesting and addictive!

For example, I did not know that The Rock used to be a professional football player for the Miami Hurricanes, or that he used to go to motels asking for used mattresses to sleep on because ...  Read the complete review
