Robin Williams by Emily Herbert

I seldom read biograhy, but when I came across this book on my daughter's bookshelf I couldnt resist myself. This is because I am always wanting to know why a sucessful and famous personality such as this actor is not happy and took his own life.

Robin William is not only a talented actor but alway a much loved man. His sucessful films are many including award winning Oscar Good Will Hunting Besides he was also a lagendary man off screen with wsrm and selfless generosity

But behind the silver screen fame and the hapiness that he brought to so many people, lay a deeply troubled man. He has been struggling with deptession and addiction and was beset by failed marriage,financial difficulties and potential Parkinson's diagnosis. He couldnt take it anymore and on 11 Augusy 2015 he was pronounced dead by suicide.

The book is interesting to read as the author was able to potray Robin feeling and thought in a sensitive and clear prose that makes the reader understand what Robin had gone through in his life to make people happy.
