Synopsis

Sporting a proverbial perfect Rotten Tomatoes score of 100%, Certified Fresh, The Rock embodies everything we want from our Hollywood superstars...and everything we admire in those who so boldly pursue the American Dream. But how did it all happen? How did a loathed professional wrestler become one of the most famous people in the world? Was it just good timing? Years of trial and error? Countless hours in the gym? A winning smile? Or his total mastery of Instagram Stories? For Your Consideration: Dwayne The Rock Johnson looks at the distinct phases of the legends career, examining the ways in which he has become both an on-screen heartthrob and an off-screen hero. Composed of five critical essays and fun extras, including an all-Rock version of the Oscars, a quiz identifying the best Rock character to take to the prom, and a definitive ranking of The Rock's catchphrases, this book is sure to satisfy pop-culture enthusiasts and The Rock's hardcore fans alike.

Goodreads review by Roslyn on October 02, 2021

This audiobook is just shy of 4 hours and is narrated by James Anderson Foster. I listened to this book on x1.25 speed. I will start by telling you that I might be biased in this review because I love Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson so much that everything about him is tinted with rose coloured glasses. J......more

Goodreads review by David on February 23, 2020
