The Final Roar Book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For my Roar finale, I'm reading Rock This! Its a book by famous comedian Chris Rock about his views on certain ideas and issues in America. Its was written in 1997, so its a little out dated but some things still apply to our current day and age. This is by far the funniest Roar book I've read. In fact, its the funniest book I've read period.
