Summary

On screen, Danny Trejo is the most recognisable anti-hero in Hollywood - killed at least a hundred times, he steals every scene he's in. But off screen, he is so much more. The ultimate hard-knock-lifer, and a true man of the world, he has all the stories, and all the scars.

Raised in an abusive home, Danny struggled from an early age with heroin addiction and doing time in some of the country's most notorious state prisons, including Folsom and San Quentin - where he met Charles Manson - before starring in modern classics and cult hits alike, such as Heat, Breaking Bad, From Dusk Till Dawn, Sons of Anarchy, Desperado, Machete and scores more. Now, Danny takes us through the peaks and valleys of his life, including meeting one of the world's most infamous serial killers and working with icons like Charles Bronson and Robert De Niro.

In raw detail, Danny recounts how he managed the horrors of incarceration, rebuilt his life, and drew inspiration from the adrenaline-fueled robbing heists of his past for the film roles that forged his legend.

Redemptive, poignant, and raw, Trejo is a portrait of a magnificent life and an unforgettable journey through tragedy, pain, and, finally, success. Told with cowboy appeal, gritty rebel wisdom, and total honesty, these are outlaw stories from the frontiers: the frontiers of prison, of Hollywood, and of life.

Includes an exclusive bonus track with Donal Logue sharing his favourite stories about his friendship with Danny and writing the book together.

Trejo - by Danny Trejo

One of the best autobiography’s I’ve ever read . Danny lived a crazy life of hard drugs, crime and violence to the point where he possibly faced the gas chamber,.He turned his life around by getting into acting and going tee-total , and spending his life in between jobs , persuading addicts to get off the streets and into rehab .
Some incredible tales from prison to the film sets and great anecdotes , right up until the present day , brilliantly narrated by Danny as he absorbs you into his life’s story.

Meh...

I expected more from this book. Danny can barely read. The book is very repetitive and disjointed also way, waaay too long. Shame...

Legend.

I've really loved Danny's films for years. I was given this book as a gift by a friend. I absolutely loved it. The word legend is thrown around a lot these days but I think Danny is the absolute definition of that word. Such a great story and so well read. I just wanna go and watch more of his films now.

Great Autobiography Holmes!

Love this book. What a roller-coaster of a story. Danny tells it with warmth, honesty and humour. What a guy!

Poor Narration

I thought this would be an interesting read, I usually shy away from books narrated by the author but since this author is an actor I thought I would give it a go. unfortunately it is not possible to listen, the performance is too stilted.

What a life !!!

I'd seen Danny on so many talk shows I was really looking forward to this, but the narration by Danny made it a hard listen - sorry

Fantastic

I loved listening to Danny Trejo. His voice and the way he speaks made me listen intently.
He describes events with such emotion you feel you are right there in that moment. and on a few occasions I even laughed out loud.
very sad when it was finished.. now go listen to this .
