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. 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," he 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.
