Review of 'WILL' by Sara Niles

Will Smith is internationally well known as possibly THE greatest Movie Star of all time; definitely one of the best and most successful. The television series The Fresh Prince was partly autobiographical in context; however nothing in The Fresh Prince denotes the true backstory of family strength and unity amid abuse. The internal conflict Will Smith portrays throughout the book is the secret to his fame. Nothing drives a person like conflict and a desire to rise above it; especially when that conflict is your life.

The story Willthe perfect title for the book and description of his life. The humor within the pages is sublimated underneath the pain. The pain is what created one of the world's funniest humans, and one of the world's best actors. The earliest memories of Will was in his role as family comedian and actor, which is the epitome of Dysfunctional Family Systems in which Roles are assigned for the sake of family survival.

Educational and informative, but always entertaining, because Will IS the entertainer extraordinaire. Within the travels of Will Smith, we will meet some of the greatest humans every to walk the earth, and see them through the eyes of The Fresh Prince of Belair-and later through the eyes of merely 'Will'. The life story is Will is a Quest, you will find; like the Quest of Homer's The Odyssey

The story travels through unusual territories and terrains, provides insights into human nature, and culminates with the seeking behavior that all humans engage in: the search for happiness and inner peace.
