Rock This!
The National Bestseller--now in trade paperback! "Rock This! ought to be required reading for American citizenship or high school graduation." --Entertainment Weekly From today's hottest stand-up comic--heir to Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy and known for his Emmy Award-winning HBO Specials and The Chris Rock Show--comes this edgy, no-holds-barred humor book about race, relationships, and politics. "Everyone wants a piece of the Rock." --USA Today "Rock doesn't just make you laugh; he makes you think." --Vibe "Unlike so many comedians' books, this one isn't a wispy flight through the land of whimsy.
