Rating: Summary: A dissapointing book full of stereotypical characters Review: All in all I enjoy reading these novellas set in the characters' past. They have some problems, still. First of all, they are way too short. Secondly: the characters are teenagers. I am 15 myself and that's probably the biggest reason I don't like young characters (in anything). Why? Because they act about 3 to 5 years younger than they should (in Wesley Crusher's case: about 10). The starfleet academy books, in general, have been fairly believable in this field, although the characters still sometimes feel a bit immature. This particular book uses characters that behave, in my opinion, like people behave when they are about 12 years old. Plus they are complete stereotypes. For example the teamleader is a young male human who has joined starfleet because of his father. (Has anyone ever joined becase of his/her mother, brother, sister cousin...?) I bought this book in hopes of a view to the character of Geordi LaForge, but to my dissapointment he was characterized poorly, and didn't even feel like the main character. The plot was weak, the storytelling predictable... It's barely readable, but dont waist your money on it.
Rating: Summary: the haunted spaceship Review: I thought is was a little bit dissapointing considering what the plot was in general but for the most part it was good and I really enjoyed the twists that it took in a few places.
Rating: Summary: oh, ICK! Review: Maybe I'm just too old for this series, but this one seemed worse than normal. The whole ghost idea was pretty dumb in the first place. Don't buy unless you're trying to get all the books like I am.
