The Book of Sheen by Charlie Sheen

The Book of Sheen: A Memoir

by Charlie Sheen

Extended Synopsis

For the first time, Charlie Sheen—the iconic star of Platoon, Wall Street, Major League, and Two and a Half Men—writes the story of his extraordinary life in an unfiltered memoir. "We can live the stories or hear about them later from others. I choose the former," Sheen states, acknowledging the stark reality that he should not be alive to write this book. In The Book of Sheen—the movie and TV star who defied the odds finally presents his story in his own words.

Born the third of four children to actor Martin Sheen and his wife, Janet, Charlie grew up on film sets all over the world. He spent his youth making ambitious Super 8 films in Malibu with a roster of friends who would become household names. After breaking into movies in the 1980s and transitioning to a massively successful TV leading man, Sheen descended into a vortex of extracurricular activities. Now sober, he delivers a clear-eyed, vivid narrative of his highs and lows with humor and candor, reading like a far-fetched, overstuffed novel of Hollywood life—yet it is all true.
