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.

loved it

This was a great book. I could not stop listening.. I have a new love for Corey.

WOW

I remember the two Corey’s and having a HUGE crush on Corey Feldman. This is a great book, very sad and heart wrenching. Having my own children, and them suffering at the hands of a family member, I cried listening to what the two Corey’s had to deal with.
I recommend this book. I learned a whole bunch of things I didn’t know, and realized I still remember seeing how I felt watching all the films Corey Feldman and Corey Haim had been in.

Corey Feldman's autobiography is a very quick read. Not because it's terse, but because it's interesting and entertaining. I was surprised to hear about the extent of his abusive upbringing. It's a wonder the poor kid has gotten as far as he did.

I grew up a massive Corey Haim fan, with Silver Bullet being my favorite movie. I was heartbroken when he died. Unsurprisingly, the parts with Corey Haim interested me the most, but I didn't get the impression that the two Coreys were as close as I thought they were. He's mentioned plenty in the book. But in my mind somewhere, those guys were inseparable - maybe because of their shared filmography.

What I really loved about the book was hearing the Michael Jackson stories.

This book was honest. Feldman's narration of the audiobook is impeccable. The impressions he does of his family and directors and, even, Michael Jackson were great. I highly recommend it.

Sad glimpse into Hollywood

This story has been going around for years. so I wanted to listen to it first hand. How did all of this happen to him and them. What part did they play? I feel like there is more to the stories. Hollywood is a nasty place for women, men and worst of all children. I don't know how or why any mother would push to lead a child into that life. it's sad. and scary.

Hope for the future

Moving, touching, and real. An excellent and emotional story. A definite recommended read. A true visionary

This was actually a very good audiobook.

better than expected, extremely sad, eye opening and well worth the credit. BUY THIS NOW!

The long awaited confession!!

If you grew up in the 80s than you not only recognize Corey Feldman but you remember all the great movies, trials and tribulations for him and Corey Haim at this time! He finally got to speak his truth and it was well worth it!. So many unfortunate incidents they had to encounter! Really sheds a light on fame for young actors! He is an amazing actor and was amazing in all his roles! He starred in many of the famous movies of the 80's that make us all wish we could go back in time! Goonies was and still is a CLASSIC!!! i couldnt put the book down due tonits relevance in time line and growing up watching him also built the intrigue to continue reading! All worth it!
He gave tribute to his friend and companion and deserves the respect he has worked hard for! Love you Corey!

Wicked

Good for this kid!!! Can’t believe the bullshit that this dude had to go through as a kid. Totally awesome to hear he’s doing well and is finally happy in life.

AWESOME!!

I really loved the book. It was easy listening. I'm glad to know how things were between him and Michael Jackson and Corey Haim!! Over all spectacular!!

Beautifully told and self aware

What a beautifully told story. It was hard to hear of his neglect his trauma and his abuse at the hands of his mother and his father and then and those around him. It was even harder to hear he lost $1 million before he was of age because his parents squandered his fortune. It’s no wonder he fell into drug abuse to numb his pain. This is a beautiful story of self-awareness, growth and honesty about where he came from and where he still wants to go. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
