- At midday on August 11, 2014, much-loved comedian Robin Williams was pronounced dead at his California home. From Mrs. Doubtfire, Jumanji, and Aladdin to Good Will Hunting and Dead Poets Society, Robin Williams brought laughter—and deep joy—to a generation. He was sparklingly funny, a lightning-fast improviser, and a wonderful comic. But what touched millions of people was the warmth and compassion he exuded. The deeply tragic manner in which he took his own life has come as a shock to the world and caused people to wonder about the desperately troubled life behind the laughter he gave to millions. With Twitter igniting from record volumes of tributes to the much-loved actor, the death of Robin Williams has caused a public outpouring of grief not seen since the passing of Michael Jackson or Whitney Houston. Emily Herbert’s sensitive and thoughtful biography celebrates his genius, and attempts to understand what could have driven such a warm and gifted man to take his own life.

“I agree with the other one star reviews. How fast did she throw this together! I wanted to read a ghod biography, instead i got a constant…. This is why he was so depressed on every page. What a disappointment, just because he committed suicide, there are some great points in his life that could be mentioned, but obviously you didnt know him that well. What a shame.” By Valerie Fryer
“Very poorly written. Interesting stories, sure, but it even says that some of the stories may not be completely factual because they couldn’t get ahold of some of the people involved. Disappointed. Will not purchase any other book by this woman.” By Nicholas Clay Watson
