Robin.Williams
I always thought Robin Williams had more talent in his little finger than some people have in their whole body, and when he died, we lost a kind compassionate very talented man and the world is somehow a little less bright. This book explains what people didn't know about Robin Williams. This is most excellent!

Don't bother. Wikipedia tells you as much and is better written.

I love Robin Williams and was really looking forward to a good read about his life and his struggles.
However, this book is just awful. Terribly written, lacking any substance, makes sweeping generalisations etc.
Look for another autobiography if I were you

The book was a short, quick read. It hit the high points. For me there seemed a bit too much discription of his movies. It was okay.

choppy and terrible
As a self published author myself, this made me never want to self publish again. I want my money back.

I hate writing a bad review on the book; but, unfortunately, this is well deserved. The book is VERY shallow and contains information that I could easily get on Wikipedia. Seems like little or no research was involved in the writing of this book. Great title -- straight and to the point -- but after you get past the cover, it might as well be blank pages. Don't waste your time or money -- if fact -- I may try and get my money back.

Best of the best
Robin Williams has always been a favorite of mine. Real, over energetic to a fault in his performances. This book gave me an in-depth look at how and why he was that way. This book recognizes his many talents and covers his life and struggles better than anything I've read about him.

Recommend this book to anyone who wants to know a bit more about RObin Williams.
Lovely book about Robin Williams’ life. Enjoyed reading it learning about him. Mentioning all his movies in his carrier and his personal life as well.

Redundant
Often very redundant with questionable facts, this book needs some editing. I don't want to be the Grammar police, but some serious work would be appreciated.

Yawn
Not what I was expecting. I certainly learned a great deal but expected the book to be full of humor.

Don't waste your money, this book would not be worth reading even if it was free! It appears to be cobbled together from many articles and reviews, and has obviously not been edited. It is repetitious and inaccurate and reads as if written by a child in response to a teacher's request for class members to write about their favorite celebrity.
Very poorly written, don't waste your time or money. It appears to be cobbled together from many articles and reviews and is repetitive and inaccurate. I am horrified that it even got published!

A favorite quote
Of Mr. Williams is, "Why don't you use tabloids to line the litter box?" "Because it's redundant." So is this book. Didn't even finish it. Seems like it was written in English, translated to some other, as yet unknown language, then translated back to not quite English. Save your time and money.

Great subject...horribly written
What a shame that such a great, inspirational actor and comedian be memorialized in such a poorly written book. The author skips around Mr Williams' achievements as a chaotic list, utterly void of any depth or insight into this remarkable man. Readers would be far better served going to Wikipedia for their look into Mr Williams' life.

Terrible! I thought this was a legit bio but I think it was just something compiled by a wannabe writer from Wikipedia and other internet sources. The writing is absolutely horrific! I didn't even last 10 pages before giving up in disgust.

A tribute
A great tribute to a talented man. Some parts were repetitive, but still a good read. I only wish they would have gone into Patch Adams more. I always loved his performance in that movie.

I was very excited about this book but I could not get past the second chapter. This book is a grammatical train wreck.

Poorly Written
Bad grammar, sentence and paragraph structure. Incorrect details of well known events. Awkward reading. Better Williams biographies are available.
Disappointing.

Mistakes
This book has several spelling errors, grammar errors, and mixed up information. It was informative but needs a few more edits.

Brilliant
He was one of a kind we should strive to eradicate the disease that took him. And further his charitable efforts to honor a great man

Another disappointing, short book about Robin Williams. Nothing included that hasn't been reported on before. Nothing new. Don't bother reading.

An interesting look at Robin Williams history, also sad that his life was ended due to illness.
