NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

For the first time, Charlie Sheen, the 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.”

Charlie Sheen should not be alive to write this book.

But in The Book of Sheen, the movie and TV star, who has defied the odds, finally presents his story, in his own words.

Charlie Sheen was born the third of four children to actor Martin Sheen and his wife, Janet. He grew up on film sets—from his father’s all over the world, to his own in Malibu. There he made ambitious Super 8s, with a roster of friends who went on to become household names themselves, including his brother Emilio, Sean and Chris Penn, and the Lowe brothers.

Sheen broke into movies in the 1980s, playing a hoodlum in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, a young soldier in Platoon, and an ethically compromised trader in Wall Street. But somewhere along the way, despite a successful transition to TV leading man in Spin City and Two and a Half Men, Sheen descended into a vortex of extracurricular activities.

Now sober, Sheen delivers a clear-eyed narrative of his highs and lows with humor, candor, and a vivid, captivating writing style that is uniquely his. The Book of Sheen reads like a far-fetched, overstuffed novel of Hollywood life—yet it is all true.

I want a Movie

awesome, love he told his story himself. moree heartfelt coming from Sheen . Very well read and written

The voice of reason

Great book, liked the candid comments and different stories of getting sober permanently. Glad to know that being sober in life has won out!

Honest, humble, self-deprecating, humorous

Set aside your preconceived notions about who you think Charlie Sheen is, and you will be in for a rare glimpse of the man he really is. His story, best told by the one who actually lived it, is one ultimately of hope. God has kept him alive for a reason, and the telling of his life up to this point is only the beginning.

so good

exactly what I expected. Serious, funny and to the point. absolutely loved this from beginning to end

Excellent read

Charlie spoke with incredible honesty that at times was surreal. Congratulations, Charlie for overcoming your demons!
