ReviewsDanny Trejo's unflinching, exquisitely written memoir Trejo unpacks his extraordinary journey from the hole at Folsom Prison and the notorious B Section at San Quentin to the dizzy heights of leading roles in Hollywood movies. Trejo tells his story with grace, humor, humility as well as a terrifying immediacy during the more violent portions of Trejo's troubled early years. Add Danny Trejo's name to those of Chester Himes, Nelson Algren, Malcolm X, and Jimmy Santiago Baca, men who served hard time and came out the other side to teach us about living life to the fullest in the now., I've long recognized Danny Trejo as an American icon. But what I didn't know is that he's also one hell of a storyteller. Brimming with heart and generosity, wicked humor and hard-won wisdom, Trejo reaches across generations, cultures, and borders to leave readers with a righteous, inspirational high., Danny Trejo is an American Treasure. I've been a fan of his since I was 9 years old. He's had one of the most legendary runs in Hollywood history in my opinion. If you're a fan like I am this is definitely the book for you., Trejo's tale, as told by Logue, is an inspirational study in the definition of character. Danny's journey of recovery and self-discovery is like a road map to those of us who are still struggling to figure ourselves out. This needs to become a movie, but who but Danny could play The Trejo?, From ex-con to icon. Danny's incredible life story shows that even though we may fall down at some point in our lives, it's what we do when we stand back up that really counts.

SynopsisINSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "If you're a fan like I am this is definitely the book for you." --Pete Davidson, actor, producer, and cast member on Saturday Night Live "Danny's incredible life story shows that even though we may fall down at some point in our lives, it's what we do when we stand back up that really counts." --Robert Rodriguez, creator of Spy Kids , Desperado , and Machete Discover the full, fascinating, and inspirational true story of Danny Trejo's journey from crime, prison, addiction, and loss--it's "enough to make you believe in the possibility of a Hollywood ending" ( The New York Times Book Review ). On screen, Danny Trejo the actor is a baddie who has been killed at least a hundred times. He's been shot, stabbed, hanged, chopped up, squished by an elevator, and once, was even melted into a bloody goo. Off screen, he's a hero beloved by recovery communities and obsessed fans alike. But the real Danny Trejo is much more complicated than the legend. Raised in an abusive home, Danny struggled with heroin addiction and stints in some of the country's most notorious state prisons--including San Quentin and Folsom--from an early age, before starring in such modern classics as Heat , From Dusk till Dawn , and Machete . Now, in this funny, painful, and suspenseful memoir, Danny takes us through the incredible ups and downs of his life, including meeting one of the world's most notorious serial killers in prison and working with legends like Charles Bronson and Robert De Niro. An honest, unflinching, and "inspirational study in the definition of character" (Kevin Smith, director and actor), Trejo reveals how he managed the horrors of prison, rebuilt himself after finding sobriety and spirituality in solitary confinement, and draws inspiration from the adrenaline-fueled robbing heists of his past for the film roles that made him a household name. He also shares the painful contradictions in his personal life. Although he speaks everywhere from prison yards to NPR about his past to inspire countless others on their own road to recovery and redemption, he struggles to help his children with their personal battles with addiction, and to build relationships that last. Redemptive and painful, poignant and real, Trejo is a portrait of a magnificent life and an unforgettable and exceptional journey.
