Summary: I have this book but....
Review: I am a Star Trek TNG fan, loved DS9 but pass on Classic and Voyager. I have a copy of this book which I love to show off and I won't stop you if you want to buy it. But... here are some of my thoughts. You learn Klingon you can only talk to other Trekkers, you learn Spanish, French or Japanese and the world will be yours. It automatically gives you a few thousand bucks extra in your monthly paycheck, it will get you more callbacks if you put it in your resume. You will open yourself to more people and you will never get lost in Europe. If you speak Japanese you are guaranteed a job in JFK's Airport... guaranteed.
I love Star Trek... a lot... but I am a realist in this planet.
Thank you.

Summary: Awesome book ever made!
Review: I just got this book as a christmas present. I think it's the best dictionary ever! I now know how to speak a few phrases in Klingon, but I'm still learning to speak more phrases of the language to myself. If you don't have this book, Get it now. It's the best book that'll help you learn the basics and all the grammar of the language of the Klingon Empire. I rate this book 5x2 stars. It's the best Klingon dictionary Okrand ever made! Buy it and you'll learn the greatest language of the Empire! Qapla'!

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I recently found this little gem in a used book store. It's even signed with inscription by Marc Okrand. Whether or not that is authentic, one will never know. I believe this to be the first Klingon Dictionary. A great little book. I would definitely recommend this book to any Klingon enthusiast who can find it in a used book store or elsewhere.

Summary: coolest book in the world
Review: I thought this book was just super!! Reading this book has changed my life, now that I can talk in Klingon a whole new world has been opened up to me. Not only using it to impress my friends, but also to meet women. I've even take my dictionary with me while driving my beetle. The books overall layout is great and tres trekkie. I give this film five thumbs up!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A fun and challenging pasttime
Review: I'm rather new to tlhIngan (Klingon) Hol (language). This book is the first and most important reference for the language. The book not only has a collection of words, but a detailed discussion of the the grammar of the language. Intricate and challenging, learning tlhIngan Hol is a great intellectual passtime.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Learn Klingon--The Easy Way
Review: Linguist Marc Okrand was asked by the producers of Star Trek III, to expand on the Klingon language, first heard in Star Trek The Motion Picture. What came out of the request, not only influenced the feature films, but each of the spin off television series as well.

When the first edition of The Klingon Dictionary saw print in 1985, legions of Trekkers (myself included) wanted to crack the secrets of the language--and the book allowed us to do that. Ater the Klingon race played a substantial role in the plot of Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country, in 1991, a revised edition was warranted. The 92 edition features the same layout of the other versions. The book takes you from the sounds of Klingon, through all of the different types of words, to an actual mini dictionary of key words and phrases. Okrand wisely didn't try and tinker with the layout though, with tongue firmly in cheek-the idea of a book like this still makes for a fun read. The latest edition has 192 pages and is worth it for any would be Klingon warriors out there.
