pickVery good. I listened to the audiobook version of this. Very interesting and informative, definitely deserves the title of the definitive biography. Well researched as the author spent many years with Robin and knew him personally but that doesn't give a biased view as it shows Robin with warts and all, doesn't shy away from the bad stuff that he went through such as addiction and other things.

An excellent read/listen for all true fans🥰 Now to locate & watch as much of Robin‘s work as humanly possible.
pickAccording to the author of this book, Robin was someone who thrived on making people laugh yet at the same time could be deeply insecure and was difficult to get to know on a one-on-one level. I enjoyed reading about all of his amazing films:Good Morning Vietnam, Dead Poets Society, Mrs. Doubtfire, Good Will Hunting, Aladdin. Reading about the last few months leaving up to the end of his life was heartbreaking and I hope he is finally at peace.
pickWow! This epic story captures all of the layered elements of Robin Williams‘ expansive talent, unique personality, and special heart and exceeded all expectations. The author spoke with Robin often over the years and many of his friends and family spoke with him to about their relationships with Robin and it brought so much life and understanding to the biography. Beautifully written, I highly recommend it for comedy fans. #Roll100 #BookspinBingo
bailedAlright, I only got 39% of the way into this book, and I couldn‘t do it anymore. I didn‘t like the narrator at all. Robin William‘s life choices were increasingly upsetting. I only knew of him through his dramatic/comedic movie roles like Jumanji, Mrs. Doubtfire, Aladdin, What Dreams May Come, etc. So hearing about his cocaine and alcohol use, excessive infidelity with his wife, and depraved stand-up routines was too much for me.
