The Book of Sheen

A Memoir

De: Charlie Sheen

Narrado por: Charlie Sheen

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 comes across like a far-fetched, overstuffed novel of Hollywood life—yet it is all true.

Candid

Didn’t hold back- told it like it was- the good the bad the ugly- he certainly did it his way

Unanswered Question.....

Why zero mention of the Corey Haim rape accusation by him, and Corey Feldman? it seems plausible that he did such a thing, given that he loses whole days of what he's done, including flights taken, and going through airports, and with all his sexual escapades., in a blur. I would like to know what he says about it.

Entertaining worth listening to

OK story but was expecting more crazy details about the crazy times. At some point I realized there weren't many because he has no memory of them. I noticed that when he can't remember he turns to using drawn out metaphors that don't always fit.

Surprisingly Excellent Listening

When I saw that this book was just under 9 hours, I thought no way will it cover all the interesting things a listener wants to hear. Surprise, surprise! I love that Charlie covered his adolescence, literally from birth and the progression his life took every step of the way. Enjoyed hearing his journey into acting and the decent he went into to where he is now. A well written/audio book filled with great story telling. Bravo to Charlie for his recovery!

Charlie s metaphors are great he’s great as the reader of his memoir

Charlie s narration is spot on knowing all he’s referring to makes this memoir a joy to listen too

My Love For Him Only Grows

What a great book and an honest story behind it! I hope he gets all the credit in the world for this!

What a ride!

I am a fan of memoirs, and I’ve read many. Sheen has inked an indelible,
poignant work that is crafted with his unique style of witty quips, analogous flair and rich authenticity without over sharing. I absolutely loved The Book of Sheen and binged it in a day and a half!

If you’re a fan of the genre, check it out!

Could not stop listening.

This is all around great. Nice to hear Sheen read it. Such a crazy life. This is up there with my all time favorite listens.

Great Book

I loved every minute of his story even the dark parts cause I could relate. love his humor.

Very Entertaining

A great listen about an actor you think you know everything about, you don't. The only bad thing I have to say is that it ended to abruptly.
