Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson: The Life, Lessons & Rules for Success

Product Information

In spite of that statement, this short book was disappointing in many ways. It tried to be a bite size biography/lesson book about an inspirational contemporary figure. Murder and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunnit set amidst the spectacular North Eastern landscape. Aimed at young children Curious about Fossils provides a great introduction to fossils including information about their Victorian discovery and doesn’t just cover fossils being dinosaurs so looks at plant fossils, sea creatures and even common fossils like sharks teeth. Firstly, it contains a very rushed enumeration of Johnson's personal life (less so) and career achievements (a long list that here resembles more a shopping list) that made me skim really fast through them and lose my attention while reading.

I grew up watching WWE when it was still known as the WWF. I still consider it the glory days of wrestling. The bullshit "talent" they've got now - aside from the wrestlers from the WWF days - are all a bunch of boring pissants with abs. It's cringey to watch.In this particular story Dwayne and his ghost writer takes the reader on what it took to turn from a 3rd gen wrestler's kid to becoming one of the more recognizable names in the wrestling business. As a result there is a bit of everything family life, failures, successes, challenges and the true grittiness of being a traveling performer trying to make a name as this all takes place before his Hollywood debut. As a result even for a non-wrestler I found it quite interesting, especially with the respect that he shows some of his fellow wrestlers.

The fiction part of the series The Magic School Bus Inside the Earth is perfect to read aloud from preschool level and introduces what happens underneath the soil as the school bus and children jounery through the layers of the earth. Secondly, the information it contains can easily be found on Wikipedia and in more detail than in this book. Wikipedia is free too, this book is no and I'm sorry for the writer, but it reads like a middle school essay. The Non-fiction accompanying book is The Magic School Bus Presents Volcanoes and Earthquakes this picture filled book is ideal for younger children to read about the planet that we live on and what happens underneath the soil.I have to start by saying that although I'm not an active fan, from what I know about Dwayne Johnson, I appreciate him for all his hard work, not to mention his charity and active involvement in improving children's lives. In her award-winning first two novels, 2009’s After the Fire, A Still Small Voice and 2013’s All the Birds Singing, Anglo-Australian author Evie Wyld wrote with intensity and precision about toxic masculinity and emotional damage. The past was always snapping at the heels of her characters, coming to hunt them down.
