Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Review
Review: The book is full of information and William Shatner gives indepth information on the seven movies and his life in the seventies after the show was cancelled. Not only does he provide his views on the happens of the making of the seven films, but others such as the writers,actors,and the coporate heads of Paramount Studios

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's a miracle that the Star Trek movies were ever made!
Review: The ongoing adventures of Captain James Tiberius Kirk as Shatner describes his life from the depressing post-Star Trek TV series days up to the making of the 6th in the series of movies. The recounting of each movie gets a little monotonous but does leave the reader in awe that the bean-counter and the creative egos managed to get it done!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Well written, if formulaic
Review: The use of hackneyed phrases like "flash forward" aside, this is a well written and entertaining book. Some of the stories may be familiar from some of the dozens of other books on the subject, but for those unfamiliar with any of the behind the scenes books, this is probably a good first buy.

Summary: More William Shatner fiction.
Review: This is an entertaining book if you accept the fact that it is largely fiction.George Takei(Sulu)has stated that the William Shatner "firefighting hero" of ST3 was a publicity stunt.In truth,the publicity people hurried him down to the soundstage fire for publicity reasons while the real firefightrers fought the blaze.I have thrown my copy away.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Emotional and true. One mans exciting journey through life.
Review: Where do I begin? Before reading this book I merely thought of Shatner as an arrogant, ungrateful upstart who did not appreciate the full impact of his wonderful role on Star Trek. After reading this book I have come to realise that Shatner is Kirk, just as all the other characters on the Enterprise are exaggerated reflections of the actors which played them.

One thing that always baffled me was how Shatner could so easily give up the greatest, most popular and televised role in history, spanning over thirty years. This book explains his struggle to control the character and at the same time his sense of loss at finally killing him off.

Perhaps it was Shatner himself that made Star Trek what it is today.
