About this title: This memoir from songwriter, screenwriter, director, and bestselling novelist Sidney Sheldon mostly focuses on his Hollywood career. He recounts his meteoric rise from a suicidal teenager in Depression-era Chicago to an Oscar-winning screenwriter (for THE BACHELOR AND THE BOBBY-SOXER), the successful creator of such TV shows as I DREAM OF JEANNIE, and, according to the Guinness Book of Records, the most translated author in the world.

"Amazing. Inspiring. Surprising. I dreamed of meeting one of my favorite authors, Sidney Sheldon, one of the greatest story tellers the world has ever known. And although that did not happen, I am happy to have known his life story from this memoir. This is the crown among his books, this is his story and for me, the most inspiring of all."
"Membaca buku ini jadi tahu banyak tentang kehidupan sang maestro fiksi: Sydney Sheldon. Ternyata kehidupannya lebih seru daripada nove-novel yang ia tulis! Bisa dibilang mirip roller coaster, dari 'paling bawah' sampai 'paling atas', kembali lagi ke bawah, begitu terus. Bisa diduga, gaya tulisannya tetap menawan seperti novel-novelnya. Tapi, bagian tengahnya, yakni saat dia banyak bekerja di Hollywood bisa dibilang agak membosankan. Hanya bercerita dari satu film ke film lain. Dan yang mengecewakan, saat-saat dia menulis novel tak terlalu banyak diceritakan. Padahal itu yang aku harapkan ada di sini agar kita bisa belajar menulis juga.."
"This was a really interesting book for me: I know who Sidney Sheldon is from his entertainment connections... I have seen some of the movies based on his books, but now want to read the many books he has written...
I was referred to this book by a psychiatrist with whom I work, who told me it was easy reading, and a good description of bipolar disorder...
The other part of this book relates to the ups and downs of the entertainment industry: the problems of getting published and recognized, the fleeting existence of fame, the financial ups and downs, the rewards of being successfully creative... Typically, I don't buy a book until I read it, and decided I want it; this time, for a $1, I bought it with the intent to share.
