Summary: Too funny Must buy
Review: Chris Rock book is hilarious. It is filled with things that teenagers can relate to. There are lots of things in this book that will have you bust out in laugher. Chris Rock includes in his book about why white people can't use the N word. This book has everthing the good old days, O.J, Clinton, and the problem with living in the ghetto. I would recommend this book to any one who loves to read comedy. I read a few pages to my friends and they went out and bought a copy for them selves. This book is perfect to read on a plane, bus, on when you have free time. And if you dont have the book yet I suggest you go out and buy it now.

Review: Chris Rock is funny as hell, but (...) you have to hear him to fully appreciate his talent. But this book is still cool when you want to steal a joke or two.

Summary: It was just ok
Review: I am reading a lot of my older books again, so I decided to read ROck this again. It was ok, the usual sterotypes of a lot of comics. I'm not really a big fan of Chris Rock, but if you are, I am sure you will love this book.

Summary: great book
Review: I've been a big fan of Chris Rock's stand-up for years now and it was interesting to see him writing a book. He really describes his own life and contemporary issues like race in a humourus and intelligent book. It's definetely worth reading if you like his stand up material.

Summary: Upon this Rock, some very funny truth.
Review: In this era of "you're a comedian, so why not write a book," Chris Rock represents a departure in the best sense of the word. Leave it to others to make "nice" about wives, babies and other safe stuff, Chris has the conviction to talk about some issues that really matter. His take on the divisions between Black America cut to the heart of the issue in this country. He's not the 90's Eddie Murphy; he's better than that. I read his book then saw George Carlin in person within the week. If you appreciate the irreverance of Carlin (re; advertising, religion, yuppies, etc.) you'll find Rock speaks of similar truths.

Summary: One Funny Book!
Review: Known for his hilarious, controversial standup comedy, Saturday Night Live alum and major Hollywood star Chris Rock takes his hard-core comedy to the pages of this hysterical, no-holds barred book. In "Rock This," Rock writes about many things that modern society has to face or experienced, including the question of whether to allow gays in the military, Bill Clinton's sexual scandals, and OJ Simpson (in the case of the latter, Rock goes off on Simpson and his obvious guilt in the murder of his ex-wife, which is a change in the overall opinion most African-Americans have on that controversial case). Using incredible wit, sarcasm, and hilarious imagery, "Rock This" won me over instantly. This is the first humor book since Howard Stern's "Private Parts" that captured my attention all the way, and just like Stern, Rock shows that he doesn't really care how people react when speaking his mind or just poking fun of stereotypes.As one of only a handful of Saturday Night Live alums to actually have written a book (others include Steve Martin and Julia Sweeney), Rock definitely captivates his reading audience by just being his crazy, funny, and wild self. In the same tradition as his award-winning HBO series, "The Chris Rock Show," (also available on Amazon for purchase) Rock shows that he truly has inherited the throne as the King of African-American Comedy that Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy once held.
"Rock This" is one of the best books I have read in such a long time. If you are looking for a good laugh, purchase this book. You won't be disappointed at all!
