Overview

From hustling at fifteen, to pulling stick ups at sixteen, Shellman found himself at the age of seventeen being sentenced to four to twelve years in prison. In an honest and brutal way Shellman tells his life story from a powerless child to a power crazed misdirected youth, survival of the fittest on the streets and life within some of the roughest prisons in New York State. Throughout the story you witness his search for self peace and spiritual growth as he sought to balance his troubled life which would ultimately lead him through life threatening situations where by chance and little wit he would overcome time and time again. And finally some way, some how an awakening rose within him to change his life and write stories which would help others. Survivor I Changed the Rules is not just a memoir or autobiography, it is a testament about how strong the human spirit is and the ability within all of us to rise above the chains that imprison us.

Amazon Customer 4.0 out of 5 stars Survivor I changed the Rules January 10, 2010 Format: Kindle Edition I was sold the book to read back in September, and from the moment that I picked it up I had trouble putting it down because I was able to relate to so much that Therone had written in his book. As I read I was able to visualize those times and how life was back then, and I don't miss those times at all. After reading the book I sent it to my oldest son Whom is serving a 8 flat bid for thinking that he is grown. He thinks that the lifestyle is fun and cool, but he just doesn't really know the truth. I am hoping that after reading this book which was so excellently written, that he see that he too can change his life and become a productive member of society as well. Thank you so very much for telling your story, I really did enjoy the reading and the incite into another persons life.
