Editorial reviews

Editors Select, October 2013 - I admit: I swooned over Corey Feldman as a kid in the '80s and '90s. The bad-boy attitude, raspy voice, the hair - paired with his undeniable charm - skyrocketed him up the Hollywood ladder and into international heart-throb territory by age 15. In this incredibly personal memoir, Corey tears down that veneer and shares what life was really like for him all those years, from his start in the business at age 3 up through the loss of his best friend, the \"other\" Corey, Corey Haim, as an adult. As I listened to Corey tell his story, I was shocked, disturbed and sickened at the abuse he suffered - emotional, physical and sexual, which led to his drug addiction and several suicide attempts - so much so, that at times, I found myself pausing to calm down and reach for more tissues. The writing is lucid and well-paced - and Corey's raw and emotional telling makes for an unbelievably intimate listen. Highly recommended. Jessica, Audible Editor

Publisher's summary

A deeply personal and revealing Hollywood-survival story.

Lovable child star by age ten, international teen idol by fifteen, and to this day a perennial pop-culture staple, Corey Feldman has not only spent the entirety of his life in the spotlight, he's become just as famous for his off-screen exploits as for his roles in such classic films as Gremlins, The Goonies, and Stand by Me. He's been linked to a slew of Hollywood starlets (including Drew Barrymore, Vanessa Marcil, and adult entertainer Ginger Lynn), shared a highly publicized friendship with Michael Jackson, and with his frequent costar Corey Haim enjoyed immeasurable success as one half of the wildly popular duo "The Two Coreys,"spawning seven films, a 1-900 number, and "Coreymania" in the process. What child of the eighties didn't have a Corey Feldman poster hanging in her bedroom, or a pile of Tiger Beats stashed in his closet?

Now, in this brave and moving memoir, Corey is revealing the truth about what his life was like behind the scenes: His is a past that included physical, drug, and sexual abuse, a dysfunctional family from which he was emancipated at age fifteen, three high-profile arrests for drug possession, a nine-month stint in rehab, and a long, slow crawl back to the top of the box office.

While Corey has managed to overcome the traps that ensnared so many other entertainers of his generation—he's still acting, isa touring musician, and is a proud father to his son, Zen—many of those closest to him haven't been so lucky. In the span of one year, he mourned the passing of seven friends and family members, including Corey Haim and Michael Jackson. In the wake of those tragedies, he's spoken publicly about the dark side of fame, lobbied for legislation affording greater protections for children in the entertainment industry, and lifted the lid off of what he calls Hollywood's biggest secret.

Coreyography is his surprising account ofsurvival and redemption.

Dramatic Pause......

Corey Feldman book review:

I adore Corey Feldman. I think he’s a fantastic actor and appears to be a very nice person.
I also believe him to be a very intelligent and talented writer.....
However......
I had a really, really hard time finishing this book.

Corey’s narration at first made me giggle a little. I thought he was being playful and intentionally overly dramatic.
And then I realized................ Corey was being completely serious.
There were far too many “dramatic pauses” and most of those pauses weren’t even used correctly.

I really liked that Corey narrated his own book, but I really wish he’d either did some “training” in audible narration or at the very least solicited advice, tips, pointers and HONEST feedback, before recording and releasing his audiobook.

Dark but enjoyable...

While i fully enjoyed Feldman's story, it's actually quite dark and depressing. His rise to fame. His fall. All that and a bag of chips. He seems quite candid about it all.

Feldman gives an overly dramatic narration, but that goes with his territory. Yet i never zoned out for a moment.

I want my time back

A loser from birth.. skipped through most chapters out of boredom... it’s not his place to use the other CH’s story in his book it is not his story to tell. Especially since he implies CH was molested and would have sex with men for pleasure, while CF is nothing but a victim. L O S E R. How many men have you had cory?

"Coreyography" doesn't dance around the subject.

Memoir is my favourite genre, so I took a chance on this book, knowing very little about Feldman other than his having been a child star who'd gotten into drugs. But the good reviews convinced me, and I was not disappointed. I was expecting someone rough around the edges, and perhaps this is so, but his writing is very polished, and his narrating is very clear and expressive. This counts for a lot with me in an audio book. I am sometimes disappointed by authors reading their own work (obviously lacking in training or experience in voice work), but Feldman excels at this. I was highly entertained, considering the dark tone of much of his life, and I applaud him for coming out and sharing his difficult experiences with child abuse. This can't have been easy. You can hear the pain in his voice at times, but it never feels false or gratuitous, nor does it ever detract from the rhythm of the writing. One of the best memoirs I've ever listened to on Audible.

Good Read

Corey is refreshingly well spoken and makes very much profound sense to all of his thoughts coming up in Hollywood. He's very likable even with the honesty to how he pushed a nasty pedophile to Corey Haim although I'm hoping he regrets that not to mention it was cringe worthy to hear. All in all, a good read. The Michael Jackson stories were interesting, so much so that I wonder how much was embellished.

Honest Portrayal

If you are a fan of the stars of the 1980's this book takes you there. I loved how honest Corey was and his narration since it gave the book a more personal touch. He loves himself and respects his past, I couldn't be more impressed. I am a fan!

Wow! A great "read"

Whether you are a "Corey" fan or not... if you enjoy great story telling.. this book is for you! I didn't know what to expect when I got this book, but figured I'd give it a chance. Growing up watch Corey , and "the Corey's" in everything they did, I admit I was curious as to what Corey Feldman's life has been like. Following g his story from sever disfunction in his family life, to the frightening life as a child being pursued by pedophiles, being surrounded by drugs and other issues that NO child should be subjected to, dealing with the loss of friends because of the lifestyle is just gut wrenching . Corey shares his journey from being a sweet innocent to the man he has become today. But doesn't leave out the pitfalls along the way. Get ready for a ride..., Corey is a great story teller. He keeps you interested the whole wY through. I hated for the story to end. I will listen to it again!
