Charlie Sheen’s Memoir Is Characteristically Sleazy
The book “The Book of Sheen” portrays Charlie Sheen in a rather flippant manner, with accounts of his reckless lifestyle, including explicit details about his sexual encounters, prolonged periods of substance abuse, and instances where he claims innocence. The book often brushes over discussions about his most serious allegations of misconduct. It delves deeply into Charlie’s twin obsessions with the films Apocalypse Now, starring his father Martin Sheen, and Platoon, in which he himself starred; uses baseball analogies frequently; and expresses his anger over losing a ping-pong match to O.J. Simpson in childhood. A documentary about Charlie Sheen titled “Charlie Sheen: aka Charlie Sheen” is also available on Netflix as of September 10, if you’re interested in tales filled with celebrity encounters and drug use.
