The Rock and Joe Layden, The Rock Says

well this book is great ..it reveals lot about the rock himself in person

i would definitely recommend this book to my family and friends

On the whole The Rock Says by The Rock and Joe Layden is an enjoyable book. It is fun to read and at times an interesting behinds the scenes look at the world of wrestling.

The book is very good when the rock is telling his story and the story of his family. His wrestling grandfather and father, growing up, his days as a football player, and the road to becoming a wrestler are great. These are the best parts of the book.

However, too much of the book is simply a recap of his matches and performances at various pay-per-view events. When the book boggs down in the retelling, in character, of how the matches went the book is stupid.

But when the Rock discusses the behind the scenes action. Then the book is very good. Had the Rock gone into more detail about Wrestling, the business, and gave less recaps of King of the Ring matches, the book would have been great instead of just good.

Again, it's a fun book. It is good autobiography at times as well as an interesting behind the scenes look at wrestling. However, what holds the book back are excessive amounts of match recaps.
