Rating: Summary: Great trivia book Review: one of the best trek books i've read
Rating: Summary: The Definitive STAR TREK Trivia Book Part I Review: The Definitive STAR TREK Trivia Book Part I written by Jill Sherwin is a very good trivia book except for the registry numbers on the appropriate ships, but that's a proof reader's error not the author's. Anyway, this is a volume you will want in your TREK library as it has many interesting questions and answers.That being said, all you need to do is place an addendum in the book and you'll have a very worthy addition to your TREK Library. Oh, the erratum is the Excelsior registry number... a minor error. The book is divided into ten sections and each section covers a genre of the Star Trek Universe. Section One Star Trek: The Original Series Section Two Star Trek: The Next Generation Section Three Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Section Four Star Trek: Voyager Section Five Star Trek: The Films Section Six New Life and New Civilizations Section Seven Starfleet Section Eight Personnel Files Section Nine Abstract Knowledge Section Ten Answers I found that I liked this volume for its originality and the questions that are asked are of import. Especially, if you want to check up on a character of film or book. Maybe it's just me, but I like to dig a little farther into the trek genre and get a full range into the story. Sometimes author's assume you know everything about Star Trek, but if your like me you know enough just to be dangerous. This book will help fill in the gaps of your knowledge. The book is fun and very enjoyable. You'll get a good dose of TREK trivia reading this volume. I hope you'll enjoy this book as much as I did. Reading this book will accelerate your knowleadge of TREK to warp speed... the number of warp speed depends on your previous knowledge, but my estimation would be around 9.0 and if you get volume II you should be cruising at 9.9 and the tachyons are flowing for the trans-warp breakthrough.
Rating: Summary: The Definitive Star Trek Trivia Book Volume II Review: The Definitive Star Trek Trivia Book Volume II by Jill Sherwin is a real jewel. The book is divided into 10 chapters and has information on TOS, ST:TNG, DS-9, Voyager, The Films, New Life and New Civilizations, Starfleet, Personnel Files, Abstract Knowledge and of course Number Ten is the Answer section. So, if you are into TREK, this is the book that will answer some or most of your questions about these areas within the TREK Universe. I found that reading and answering the questions further increased my knowledge about these TREK areas. And if you need to settle a dispute... you've got the answer book to help you. As the Trek Universe expands, I look forward to more of these compendia to be published. The book is set up well and is extremely well thought out. This is an excellent addition to your Trek library.

Rating: Summary: See how much you know Review: This is a good trivia book. It contains hundreds of questions. The questions are divided into the categories. So you can find the subject you are interested easily. But although the book contains hundreds of questions, I think there should be more. And some questions are too easy or predictable for experience trekkies. Nevertheless this is good trivia book. And a must have for trekkies.
Rating: Summary: Definitive is right Review: This is a great trivia book for Star Trek. It has trivia on all kinds of subjects, such as Vulcans, Borg, episode names, and every major crew member. I thought I knew a lot about Star Trek, but after I started reading through this book I found out how much I didn't know. Here is an example: "In 'Tapestry,' Picard relived a time in his youth with two of his best friends from the academy. Name the friends." Another question is: "What substance was Elaan's necklace composed of?" Whoever knows these and the other questions in the book is a professional Star Trek fan. If you want to have fun with your Star Trek knowledge by all means buy this book.
