Summary: Decent Book for a Weak Episode
Review: I remember watching "Encounter at Farpoint" when it first aired with several high school friends, and the great groans of derision we all uttered when Deanna cried out, "I sense joy, Captain! Great joy!" The rest of the premier episode was hardly encouraging. It wasn't *terrible*, but it did not inspire great hopes, either.David Gerrold took a generally weak episode and fleshed it out as best as anyone could do, but not even Shakespeare could have turned "Encounter at Farpoint" into a gripping read. There are, of course, a few problems with changed premises (for example, William "call me Bill" Riker and Picard's obsession with some woman named "Celeste"), but one can hardly blame Gerrold for that.

Summary: Novelization of the STTNG two part first episode.
Review: If you have seen the series, and have it memorized, then try this novelization that has more detail and gets inside the heads of the characters at the very beginning of STTNG.

Summary: It's where it all begun for TNG
Review: It's a good book, you get the chance to read what was going through some characters's minds but in this case, it is better just to watch the Episode. It's a classical... where it all begun.

Summary: Encounter at Farpoint - Where No Man Has Gone Before
Review: This book was very good. If you're interested in learning some new information about the crew of the Enterprise-D, this is the place to start. I have been a trekkie for about 6 years, and I have read many books, but David Gerrold did a great job with this novelization. There are extra scenes and more information that in the TV episode. Overall, this is a great book. A recommendation to anyone who wants a good read.
