Summary:
This is simply the autobiography/memoir of the incredible and prolific screenwriter/ playwright/ movie director and producer/ mega-bestselling novelist, etc. Sidney Sheldon who once attempted suicide at 17. He also served in the US military but was discharged due to a disability in his back side. This book was published a little before he surrendered to pneumonia in 2007.

Reaction:
Sheldon's work ethic was very admirable. He wrote screenplays and broadway shows tirelessly. And he was no stranger to failure too. There were many downhill moments where he experienced joblessness and the tragedy of losing a child to spina bifida. But despite these, Sheldon has something I consider highly and that is: he won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay in 1947. Wow! What an achievement, yeah?! I recommend this very inspiring and eventful book to all aspiring writers out there!
