Robin by Dave Itzkoff

If you were a fan of Robin Williams, this is a MUST READ! I was absolutely devastated when he passed because for someone who had brought so much laughter and love into the world, the way he left it was heartbreaking. Not only did this book give a very detailed account of Robin’s personal and professional life, based on hundreds of interviews with close friends and family, but it explained his last year of life and his death—details I or most fans never knew about. Although I’ll always be saddened at the loss of this once-in-a-lifetime comedian and actor, reading this book gave me closure and a new understanding and acceptance of his death.
