Summary: Interesting, amusing, and well-written book.
Review: The character of Q is well-suited to Peter David's writing style, so this book works quite well. I'm not always fond of stories that include Q, but Peter David handles him as well as anyone. If you enjoy the character of Q, you should probably consider this a 5-star review.

Summary: A masterful compilation.
Review: The Star Trek fan will love this book. Especially those who enjoy the character of Q. John de Lancie was the perfect man to bring out the true character and humour of Q. Some parts have you giggling to yourself, some have you laughing out loud. The book is packed with bitter ironies and an amazing plot. Q's son and wife are falling victim to a strange phenomenon, as are many speices all over the multiverse. Q enlists Picard and Data to help him find out what the heck is going on before its too late. Some examples of the irony I mentioned earlier:1. At one moment Q, who is the narrator of the story, tells the audience about a discussion he has with he child. He tells him that his father is NEVER afraid. A few pages later he's scared out of his wits 2. He tells the audience that he trusts his first instincts, and a page later, goes against that! 3. He tells us he is omniscient, but then doesn't know something! This book is a real must have for any Star Trek fan, and a laugh riot for those Q lovers.

Summary: Ha, Ha.
Review: Verry funny, and a good storyline as well. See a "human" side to Q, and great tangents as we would expect.

Summary: Can Q (with Picard and Data) stop the End of the Universe?
Review: Yes, I am another one of those people who was disappointed with "I, Q" given how much I usually enjoy Peter David's STNG novels. The first half of the book was rather torturous reading for me, and I kept trying to figure out why? There are a couple of problems. First, the book is done in first person, and there is only so much of Q's ramblings that you can stand. In that regard the book does a wonderful job of making you feel like Picard; you become exasperated. Second, Q goes on and on about his omnipotence, but the more he talks the more it becomes clear that he is not as smart as he thinks. Of course, the story involving the sudden disappears on Lady Q and q along with the imminent End of the Universe requires Q to be at a loss or else the story would be over. I always tend to prefer Q stories that are more intimate (such as David's hilarious "Q-in-Law" novel versus Greg Cox's bloated trilogy). Third, Q might be an alien, but virtually all of his references are to Earth (Shakespeare pops up a lot in this one). Of course, we mere mortals cannot see Q as he really is so it is probably the same thing when it comes to words. Picard and Data are along for the ride on this one, but it is the android that has most of the good scenes in this one. Maybe all this boils down to is that too much of Q is not a good thing. It is fitting that the book starts off with the universe (literally) going down the drain, because the authors throw everything including the kitchen sink in this one. How else to describe a book that makes explicit reference to Dr. Kubler-Ross on coping with death and an homage to "The Princess Bride" that rests on knowing Wallace Shawn plays the Grand Nagus on "Deep Space Nine." The last half of the book certainly picks up and one thing I truly admire about this novel is how the authors make use of font sizes and blank spaces to great advantage. The punch line to the book is actually a pleasant surprise, since it does offer a return to a universe of sanity and potential order, which is totally contrary to the universe according to Q. That was enough to bump "I, Q" back to four stars, which certainly surprised me. For most of this novel I was convinced I was going to pan it big time. That's why David is one of my favorite Star Trek writers.
