Summary
A deeply personal and revealing Hollywood-survival story.
Lovable child star by age ten, international teen idol by fifteen, and to this day a perennial pop-culture staple, Corey Feldman has not only spent the entirety of his life in the spotlight, he's become just as famous for his off-screen exploits as for his roles in such classic films as Gremlins, The Goonies, and Stand by Me. He's been linked to a slew of Hollywood starlets (including Drew Barrymore, Vanessa Marcil, and adult entertainer Ginger Lynn), shared a highly publicized friendship with Michael Jackson, and with his frequent costar Corey Haim enjoyed immeasurable success as one half of the wildly popular duo "The Two Coreys,"spawning seven films, a 1-900 number, and "Coreymania" in the process. What child of the eighties didn't have a Corey Feldman poster hanging in her bedroom, or a pile of Tiger Beats stashed in his closet?
Now, in this brave and moving memoir, Corey is revealing the truth about what his life was like behind the scenes: His is a past that included physical, drug, and sexual abuse, a dysfunctional family from which he was emancipated at age fifteen, three high-profile arrests for drug possession, a nine-month stint in rehab, and a long, slow crawl back to the top of the box office.
While Corey has managed to overcome the traps that ensnared so many other entertainers of his generation—he's still acting, isa touring musician, and is a proud father to his son, Zen—many of those closest to him haven't been so lucky. In the span of one year, he mourned the passing of seven friends and family members, including Corey Haim and Michael Jackson. In the wake of those tragedies, he's spoken publicly about the dark side of fame, lobbied for legislation affording greater protections for children in the entertainment industry, and lifted the lid off of what he calls Hollywood's biggest secret.
Coreyography is his surprising account ofsurvival and redemption.

Not what I thought It was going to be.
Corey Feldman is a survivor in more ways than one. To survive exploitation and violation from such a young age, and to come out the other side a warm caring man says a lot for his character. I truly enjoyed this book, for many different reasons, mainly for the film's he appeared in. The one thing I took from this book was never judge a person through the media's eyes. Brilliant.

Very insightful
Loved this. So insightful - I laughed, cried, sighed, smiled... lots of different emotions evoked with Corey’s story. What a tough life he had - and so brave to tell his story. Told so well by the man himself.
Highly recommend.

An interesting reflection for any 80s movie fan
If you could sum up Coreyography in three words, what would they be?
The Two Coreys
Who was your favorite character and why?
Not really relevant as it is an autobiography but, although the story of Corey Feldman, the insights into the life of Corey Haim in particular were tragic and heartbreaking.
What does Corey Feldman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
It is always better to hear the author of an autobiography narrating his own story, his voice brings it to life in a more vivid way than just reading alone.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, I listened to it over a period of a couple of weeks. It was structured in the beginning according to Corey's movies so it was almost natural to listen to one time period of his life at a time.

An essential listen !
I listened to this whilst driving around the country , I’m an electrician and spend a lot of time driving around from job to job . I am 43 and have spent my life growing up with the films of Corey Feldman and Haim . What a life ! Ups and many downs I connected with this story and had mixed emotions all the way through , from the sad unexpected death of Haim and the relationships with Spielberg and Michael Jackson . I thoroughly enjoyed this and will now search YouTube for references made in this book and I will anxiously wait another 20 years for the next book by Feldman wishing him the success I believe he truly now deserves. 5/5 rated

loved it!
Really enjoyed this autobiography - took me back to my youth with the films like the goonies and stand by me - both classics in my eyes that I could watch again and again. I enjoyed the narration by Corey too - I noticed someone complaining about dramatic pauses - my suggestion is to speed up the narration - it's been a gamechanger to me, listening at a faster speed.

Well narrated but not convinced the story is genuine
He narrates well, he’s an actor after all. There are interesting insights into the behind the scenes aspects of the films. Some of his stories are inconsistent and don’t seem to add up. But an interesting listen nonetheless if you suspend belief.
