A Great read, unfortunately with "as we know" a sad ending. I found it hard to put down, a real page turner because you wanted to know what happens next.

An interesting look into the life of Robin Williams. I learned a lot about his life I previously did not know much about - his multiple marriages, his prolonged struggle with sobriety, handling his sudden rise to fame through to the progression of waning big name opportunities. A great actor, comedian, man who was not without his struggles.

When I heard of Robin's passing, like many I was shocked and heartbroken, depsite never having met the man. He gave us so much of himself through his roles, and asked nothing in return. I was unable to accept his choice until I read this book. It brought closure around his actions, and a new understanding of why. It also show insight to his younger adult years and the many antics he got up to on set. While I still cannot watch some of his films due to them being too raw and heartfelt, the closure has allowed me to view others and enjoy them as much as before.
I loved it made me laugh cry and smile. Wonderful man and beautiful story about his life.
A very interesting history and insight into Robin Williams. A lengthy book, sometimes it could be considered a bit too detailed which can lose the readers interest. Overall fascinating and sad at the same time.
...sucks the death was falsified for mankind...
I laughed, I cried. Just what I expectedWonderful
I am only partially through this book, but so far it is great. Lots of insights into the life of a comedic innovator.
I found it very difficult to put down. A interesting biography of Robin Williams a funny, clever, sensitive at times completly misunderstood man. A journey of discovery of the man behind the comedy and movies.
