ROBIN

Narrator Fred Berman's youthful enthusiasm percolates through his performance of this in-depth, detailed, and quite revealing biographical analysis of Robin Williams's life and career. Williams's transition from stand-up to the situation comedy of "Mork and Mindy" was a career turning point. And, as with many fine comedians, Williams also had talent as a serious actor, which is mined and discussed. But, despite his brilliance, self-doubt, various addictions, and, later, serious illness got the best of him. As is well known, Williams took his own life in 2014. Close friends, associates, and family members offer fresh points of view. This audiobook's brutal honesty is matched only by its sincerity and admiration for its subject.
