Celebrating the Writer



The Rock Says
by The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) with Joe Layden



Publication Date: 2000


About the book:

While even the WriterGroupie admits the hubris (and the marketing machine) involved in publishing an autobiography of someone younger than 30 years old, based on about two years of fame, she was still curious to read the book. Would it be told as "The Rock", Dwayne Johnson's character in WWE, or would it be told by Dwayne Johnson, former football player, and son and grandson of professional wrestling greats? Fortunately, for the most part, it's the latter.

Not quite as compelling a read as fellow wrestler Mick Foley's book, Have a Nice Day, but then, the Rock doesn't have nearly as many years of pro-wrestling and life experience to write about. Yet. But his book is still definitely worth checking out.


Personal:

As a fan of The Rock and the actor/wrestler who plays him in the WWE, the WriterGroupie was pleased that the basic impression she took away from this book was the same as that she had on seeing Johnson's out of character interviews -- he seems like a genuinely nice guy, from a successful family, who did well in the family business and is breaking out to even greater accomplishment on his own. The WriterGroupie has not had the chance to meet the Rock, but she has been to a live taping of a WWE event where he performed.
