Our view

Will Smith’s “Will” is frank about insecurity and the need to please, and it is told with wit. Written with Mark Manson, the memoir is introspective and, for some readers, inspiring. Several readers set it against his later outburst at the Oscars, some of them doubting how complete the growth it describes was; some also feel that his marriage gets little space.
