This book was a true joy to read. I wasn't even supposed to read, my plan was just to check in the first chapter but I was hooked, line and sinker. It was a quick read; it was both easy written and so funny that I couldn’t stop reading. Star Trek is kind of a big thing in America (see image below)



William Shatner is and always will be (I almost quoted the wrath of khan) best known for the role of Captain Kirk. If you want a deep biography about Shatner and Star Trek, this isn’t the book for you, then you should read [b:Star Trek Memories|77549|Star Trek Memories|William Shatner|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1386921185s/77549.jpg|1098955] and/or [b:Star Trek Movie Memories|77550|Star Trek Movie Memories|William Shatner|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1387717473s/77550.jpg|287688]. But if you want a couple of hour of entertainment, then this book is for you!

I was actually ready to really hate this book. And for the first part of it, I did! Especially when he talked about his Star Trek co-stars and how much they apparently hate him. So much unnecessary bitterness in a book about life rules. But once he got past that, it was actually really lovely, a great look into the many roles and jobs he has taken over the years. I much prefer Bill over William Shatner, the nice guy who trains horses and always says "yes" to every thing. And I guess I'll actually have to listen to my Shatner records now!… (mere)

this book was actually pretty good. I would really like to read more from him in future. alas it shall have to wait until the summer when my course load is somewhat lighter. there were some moment in here that were dead serious and very important. Some were just funny. Like how it took meeting Patrick Stewart to make him realize that taking every role seriously is how you hone your craft.

consider giving it a read.
