Summary: Enjoyable for any Trek fan, Klingon expert or not.
Review:
In the quest for more and more spin offs in the Star
Trek market, this book stands out. Rather than another
novel, or nitpicking reference volume culled from the shows - this presents authentic alien literature: the proverbs of the Warrior Race!
Providing insight into tlhIngan (thats Klingon: think
Bejing versus Peking. The standard English term
is a corruption of the correct pronounciation, just
as the old name for China's capital city was) culture,
this book cleverly draws from the film and video incarnations
for pithy Klingon phrases. The author (compiler), Marc Okrand created the language and clearly knows
his Trek.
Illustrating almost every proverb is a relevant black and
white. The proverbs are presented in tlhIngan Hol and
DIvI' Hol (Klingon and English), along with a paragraph
or two discussing the cultural background, and occasional
grammatical tips.
The book is well organized, so that you don't really NEED the The Klingon Dictionary (also by Okrand), the authorative guide
on the language. However, it makes a great companion to
it. Someone seeking to learn and use the language would
do well to buy both books and use The Klingon Way as
a workbook of phrases to study with the vocabulary and grammar provided by the Klingon Dictionary.

Summary: Klingons are misunderstood
Review: If I had to be reincarnated, I would be reincarnated as a Klingon. Even though Klingons take no prisoners, they have a few smooth edges. Some how I do think that the whole Klingon race and Klingons in general are misunderstood. This book gives some virtues and good says that can be applied today. My favorite saying is "Revenge is a dish best served cold." and this saying can apply to anybody, even ex-fiances.

Summary: Klingons at the best!
Review: This is the ultimate Klingon book! It brilliantly weaves the tapestry of Star Trek's Klingon history, through its publication date in May of 1996. It is written both in English & Klingon. The photos are black & white. Each page contains a quote in both languages and a detailed explanation of the Klingon terminology. If you have not picked this up for your Star Trek collection, let me quote a Klingon phrase for you, "qoH vuvbe' SuS" ("The wind does not respect a fool"). If you can still find a copy of this, enjoy it.
