<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Fans of Leguizamo's smash-hit one-man shows have gotten a glimpse into his life, but his book tells the whole story, taking readers on a journey from his childhood in Queens to his current perch at the top of the Hollywood pyramid--actor, director, producer, and the highest-paid Latin actor in the world.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Fans of John Leguizamo's smash-hit one-man shows (<em>Mambo Mouth</em>, <em>Spic-o-rama</em>, <em>Freak</em>, and <em>Sexaholix</em>) have already gotten a glimpse into his life, but this book tells the whole story, carrying readers along on a wild journey from his childhood in Queens to his current home at the top of the Hollywood pyramid. An acclaimed director, producer, and play-wright, and one of the highest-paid Latin actors in the world, Leguizamo shares the stories behind his many roles--what inspired them and what transpired as he created them--while dishing on his personal relationships with his family, friends, and celebrity colleagues. Here is both an intimate self-portrait and a unique behind-the-scenes look at the magic and chaos of stardom, a keenly intelligent and insanely funny book that celebrates a remarkably talented artist's greatest achievement: growing up Latino in America and succeeding on his own terms.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Leguizamo's autobiography is as singular as the man himself. "--<em>Library Journal</em><br><br>"The high point: his breezy honesty."--<em>Entertainment Weekly</em><br><br>"This mix of the glib and the sometimes glam presents a refreshing cultural tonic."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em><br><br>"[Leguizamo is] a remarkably mature writer . . . Astonishing."--Newsweek<br><br>"Brutally funny."--The New York Times<br><br>"Leguizamo is one of the most excting talents to come along in some time."--USA Today<br>
