A GOOD BIOGRAPHY BY ONE OF THE ALL TIME WWF/E GREATS - By: stuart, 14 May 2008 
I bought this biographyin a Charity Shop. I was always a fan of THE ROCK so I took the plunge & bought his biography & it was good but could have been a lot better then it was.
I found a few niggles with the book. The main one was one minute it would be writtenin first person (so he would write I) then he would writein third person & refer himself as THE ROCK (so it was written like then THE ROCK would .....). Plus it was all very breif & left me wanting a bit of depth.
I found myself enjoying the book more when he refered to himselfin the first person of when he became a NFL football player & started talking about his family & his youth but as it went on into his wrestling career that was where he refered himself as the third person like he was writing the bookin the character of THE ROCK which I didn't enjoy as much, which I was surprised at.
The biography itself was enjoyable but wasn't as enjoyable I expected so I felt a bit let down by the end. It wasn't a patch on other WWF/E biography's I had read (Mick Foley's just to name one).
On the plus side It doe's go into some detail of his life & his family & he doe's go into depth about his school life & him getting bullied because of his size or because of who his father was. He also goe's into detail about his marrage & the meeting of his wife & goe's into detail of when he was playing for the NFL & him having to sleep on used soiled mattraces.
So allin all it was an enjoyable book but not as good as other WWF/E biographies I have read. It was well worth the £1.50 I payed for itin a charity shop but I wouldn't pay £6.99 for it. The book just leaves you wanting slightly.
So if you see itin a charity shop buy it but don't go & pay full price for it as you may be disappointed.
Hear what 'The Rock Says' Jabroni! - By: KAT, 16 Jun 2006 
In my opinion Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnston is one of the greatest wrestlers to ever step footin a wrestling ring, & even though my wrestling obsession is now firmly a thing of the past, The Rock will always have a special placein my affections.
The Rock is a third Generation WWF Superstar, one of very few, following on the heels of his father Rocky Johnson & his grandfather the High Chief Peter Maivia. In this book, you really get a feel for the person behind the character, & by the time you've finished the last page you really feel as if you know him. Even though he was one of the WWE's most popular & talented Wrestlers perhaps of all time, he certainly hasn't let fame go to his head even now, as a fully fledged movie star, he's still the same humble being who really knows his roots & never forgets his fans. His story charts not only his metaphoric rise to the top of the Wrestling ladder, but also his childhood, growing up as the son of a wrestling superstar, & how he made it to the top himself. Do not be fooled, his father may have been a TV star but The Rock climbed to the top the hard way, living off of beans for weeks on end & sleeping on soiled mattresses.
Dwayne comes across as a very normal, loyal family man, devoted to his wife & daughter (although at the time of book little Simone wasn't born) worshipping his mother & respectuful &in awe of his father. His story is often funny, sometimes sad (He tells the story of Owen Harts demise & the death of his grandad) but it is certainly entertaining...although what do you expect from the one of the most popular menin Sports Entertainment! Can you smellllllll what the Rock is cooking!?

This book is fascinating from cover to cover - By: , 28 Mar 2001 This book tells the tale of the truely remarkable Duayne"The Rock" Johnson.Obviously this book talks about his wrestling career but also talks about his whole life story since birthin Tampa Bay.Reading this book you will learn that the rocks life has not always been glitz & glamour.The rock has experienced hard times such as having to share a motel room, sleeping on thrown out old matresses cleaned only by disinfectant spray.This book is not only for wrestling fans but for anyone who would like to read the story of a truely remarkable man.
I can smell it! - By: christophergwynne@yahoo.com, 28 Dec 2000 I got this book the day it came out & i thought it was excellent. The Rock gives you an insight into what the WWF is all about. How he rose to fame from a college football player to the most popular wrestlerin the business today. He tells of his sadness of his family to the happyness to his beautiful wife Dana. If you are a true wrestling fan; The Rocks fan then this book is a definate must have. You won't be able to put it down.
