Robin

Product Information

This book made me stop and think about how we assume things. For instance, all high profile actors must be happy and have all the help they can afford at the snap of a finger. An interesting fact is the Robin Cook has the pulse on current medical events, and some people even say he is able to anticipate national medical controversies, many of which he bases his books on. There will never be anyone quite like Robin Williams, and there may never be another celebrity profile or biography quite like this again either. It’s not hyperbole to say that New York Times correspondent Dave Itzkoff’s engrossing and all-encompassing biography of one of the most beloved actors of the second half of the 20th century will change you."— Fortune The trouble is that, while Christopher Milne grew up, Christopher Robin was never allowed to. Long into his adult life, pestered by devotees of the child that he once was, he struggled to establish his own identity. Some might say that he never quite did so: that he never finally succeeded in “escaping Winnie-the-Pooh”. Meticulously sourced and comprehensive in scope, Itzkoff's work gives Williams's many fans a rare glimpse of the man behind the celebrity."— Publishers Weekly

In addition, he is disquieted by his unconventional girl-cousin Epiny—who challenges his heretofore unwavering world view—and by the bizarre dreams that haunt his nights.

A generous, appreciative biography of Robin Williams by a New York Times culture reporter. The author, who had access to Williams and members of the comedian’s family, is an unabashed fan but doesn’t shy away from the abundant messiness in his subject’s personal life."— The New York Times Book Review (editor's choice) But as his Academy instruction progresses, Nevare begins to realize that the road before him is far from straight. The old aristocracy looks down on him as the son of a "new noble" and, unprepared for the political and social maneuvering of the deeply competitive school and city, the young man finds himself entangled in a web of injustice, discrimination, and foul play. I grew up knowing Robin Williams as a successful actor; producing wonderful films for my entertainment. I never released all the heartaches, hard work and loyalty that went into the man I came to know. The mystery surrounding Robin’s health in the last years of his life is just plain frustrating. His diagnosis, which may not have been the right one, only makes his suffering more poignant. What he was thinking is hard to discern. Some think he was very aware of what he was doing, while others think he was under the influence of the illness, which despite not knowing him personally, I agree with the latter. Looking at his life up that point, the trials he faced and the odds he overcame, I can’t help but think he was not himself at all at the time. For me, this is why Robin's death hurts and hurts the most over any other. In 1993, my parents were going through a nasty divorce. My dad had openly cheated on my mom and eventually married the Other Woman. They fought right in front of us, and outwardly ignored us as they screamed their rage at each other. My dad would drop in and out of our lives, only showing up when it was convenient to him As an 11 year old it was devastating.

Readers don’t have to be a Robin Williams fan or even have any knowledge of him to appreciate this book. Anyone who enjoys a well-researched and well-written biography of a one-of-a-kind individual will find “Robin” very worthwhile reading. Highly recommended. At some point, the author gave one main reason why his books are so wildly popular with readers all over the world. Basically, healthcare issues are global in scope. He said, As a teenager, Robin spent her days at the Cheltenham Ladies’ College. During this time, she read a number of murder mysteries and even hoped to do some detective work herself. However, she was not able to do any of that. After college, Robin joined university and studied crime fiction. She holds an MA degree in crime fiction. As of today, she works happily as a children’s publisher, apart from writing murder mysteries. Currently, she lives in London along with her boyfriend and a pet named Watson, which is a bearded dragon. She spends most of her time in trying to help other writers get their works published. She keeps motivating the younger writers to keep exploring themselves in their fields of interests. I'll be the first to admit that celebrities are treated like superheroes who are put up on a pedestal revered as gods. Most of the time,its unwarranted. But I feel like there are certain celebrities whom we just resonate with, who invoke emotions within us that touch us deeply, whose deaths hurt way worse than others.I received this Advance Review Copy (ARC) novel from the publisher at no cost in exchange for an honest review. Readers don’t have to be a Robin Williams fan or even have any knowledge of him to appreciate this book. The murder mystery series written by Robin, Wells and Wong has three highly successful novels. The novels were published between the years 2014 and 2015, with the fourth one ready to be published in a few days from now. The first novel in the series is titled ‘Murder Most Unladylike’. It was published in the year 2014 by the Corgi Childrens. The novel is based on the mysterious lives of the central characters, Hazel Wong and Daisy Wells. The plot of the novel is set in the time of the year 1934. The novel opens up with the Deepdean School for Girls, which is the crime scene of the murder of a Science teacher. Hazel Wong and Daisy Wells are introduced as detective agents, who have set up their own detective agency. But they struggle to find any exciting and mystery cases to investigate. Williams grew up in a well-to-do family, an only child that didn’t learn he had half-brothers till adolescence. His invented characters began in private during childhood with his large collection of toy soldiers, for which he invented complex lives and scenarios; in middle school he began assuming the voices of invented characters as self-defense socially. From his school days all the way through his life, those that spent time with him personally or professionally said that he was unknowable, and he admitted in an interview that in many ways, he was “performing to avoid.” The thing about this biography, that really stands out, is that it gives the reader a clearer picture of the man behind the frenetic comedy. Robin's fears, his goals, his hopes, and the demons that plagued him...

To be most accurate in his books, Robin Cook took a course in forensic pathology, and also he talked with several medical examiners. From his rapid-fire stand-up comedy riffs to his breakout role in Mork & Mindy and his Academy Award-winning performance in Good Will Hunting, Robin Williams was a singularly innovative and beloved entertainer. He often came across as a man possessed, holding forth on culture and politics while mixing in personal revelations – all with mercurial, tongue-twisting intensity as he inhabited and shed one character after another with lightning speed. When I came to the end of the book and listened to the information about his final days, his suicide, and the reactions and words from his closest friends and family, I found myself again in tears, but had a better understanding of my reaction this time. For me, Robin Williams was a kindred spirit, which was confirmed to me after reading about his life. I don't have even an ounce of his comedic genius, but, like him, I have always loved to make people laugh. Not because I thought it made me more popular or anything like that, but because seeing that joy in others brought me joy. Like Robin, I hate confrontation and avoid it at all costs. He would go to great lengths to make people happy, even to the point of giving up his own happiness. I may have never met him, but I felt like he was a close friend.Dave Itzkoff's Robin is much like the man himself - warm, funny, frenetic, with a core of darkness and empathy. It gets at that darkness, and shows how it fueled, beautifully, the manic brain and kinetic body of the man himself. An amazing read." - Patton Oswalt years later since he's died. 5 years and it's still as raw and painful for me as ever. Tonight, after the kids are asleep I will grab my glass of wine, grab a blanket and watch Good Will Hunting for the billionth time, because seeing his face and hearing his astounding speeches in that movie helps. The book seems candid, revealing Robin’s foibles as well as his gifts. It gives the reader a sense of the factors that may have contributed to his death. Robin is portrayed as a caring person with emotional insecurities and an agile mind. The book is well-organized and informative. I could have done without the discussion of the legal hassles regarding the settlement of his estate.
