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 shouldn’t 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, 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 humour, candour 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.

Loved the honesty and emotion in this book. Charlie tells all and its an amazing story. Narrated by the man himself was a treat too. Highly recommended

Hard hitting story

Wow, part of me as a normal hardworking guy wants to think ‘What a total waster of so many amazing opportunities afforded to him’. In reality after listening to the whole story, it’s impossible not to actually think ‘What a total survivor, to have come through that level of craziness for so long and still be a pretty decent and relatively normal guy’.
Of course every red blooded fella reading this will have nothing but respect for the ladykiller that Charlie is, but I would like to think he is someone who would be great company, especially with those stories. Thanks for taking time to share, and as Jack Carr said to you on his podcast (which is where I discovered the book) you really are a fantastic writer, and I hope you write more.

Brave and Honest, plus as a brilliant actor, Charlie’s read was perfect.

Always been a fan. It’s great to get the insight of a persons mental and how they see and experience life in a massively different environment compared to everyday people

Great listen

Your narration and stlye shone through. I grew up during the: Outsiders, Breakfast Club and St Elmo's generation (Even partied once with Keith David! - in London of all places).
Rob Lowe's audio books capture that era too.
give Kirbo my regards
Bravo

Good on you Charlie.
